Biography

Dame Elizabeth Jane Campion DNZM (born 30 April 1954) is a New Zealand filmmaker. Best known for her feature films with themes of rebellion and often featuring women in leading roles who are outsiders in society, Campion is regarded as one of the prominent female filmmakers in women's cinema. Campion made her film debut in Sweetie (1989) and continues to direct feminist films, including An Angel at My Table (1990), The Portrait of a Lady (1996), Holy Smoke! (1998), and Bright Star (2009). She is best known for writing and directing the critically acclaimed films The Piano (1993) and The Power of the Dog (2021), for which she has received two Academy Awards altogether. She also co-created the television series Top of the Lake (2013) and received numerous Primetime Emmy Award nominations. Her accolades include two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two Palme d'Or (both feature and short), a Silver Lion award, a Directors Guild of America Award, and nominations for three Primetime Emmy Awards. Campion was appointed a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (DNZM) in the 2016 New Year Honours, for services to film.
