Sanjivani Kamble is a writer and director born and brought up in Mumbai, India. Trained as a designer, she began with painting and visual storytelling before discovering cinema as the medium that allowed her to hold images, emotions, and unanswered questions in the same frame. She completed her bachelor’s degree in Film and video Design at MIT Institute of Design, Pune, where she began exploring narrative filmmaking more seriously.
She is drawn to quiet moments and relationships that shift without warning. She chooses places not only for how they look, but for how they sound. The wind, distant traffic, water moving, the hum of a room often guide her storytelling as much as the characters do. During and after college, she continued developing her craft by writing and assisting on professional productions, gradually shaping her voice around intimate, character-driven stories.
Her short film Dongar/Pani (Land/Water), made as her final college project, is a personal exploration of memory, attachment, and landscape. The film has screened at Indian and international festivals. Through her work, she is interested in relationships, belonging, and the quiet emotional shifts that shape who we become.
