Sandi Nteya

During high school, Sandi Nteya developed an interest in film. Continuing to explore visual storytelling, he believes images can speak more powerfully than words. Favoring minimal dialogue and nonlinear plots, Sandi allows a single story to move through different time periods. He strives to create vivid, dynamic imagery that feels authentic. Recently, his work has centered on human rights and culture. For Sandi, film is a way to record life, preserving collective memory from loss.
