Em Li
Biography
Em Li is a BAFTA-Qualifying writer, director and performer based in London. Drawing from a multi-disciplinary background in theatre, magic, music and more, their imaginative tales often follow drifters and dreamers on the fringes of society, with a reverence towards nature, a penchant for magical realism and a restless theatricality. In 2019, she co-founded production collective “Big Tent Films” under which numerous shorts and music videos have been produced which have screened at festivals worldwide, as well as cultivating almost 1 million views on YouTube. They strive to craft immersive, expressive worlds with a playful approach towards genre and form, seeking out narratives that uplift marginalised voices, especially those of the queer Asian diaspora. In 2021 he was named the BFI’s "Best New Talent" for his short 'MUSIC FOR THE END OF THE WORLD'.
