Asif Kapadia is an Academy Award-winning film director, renowned for his documentaries about the musician Amy Winehouse, the Brazilian motor racing star Ayrton Senna, and the Argentinian footballer, Diego Maradona.

Born in 1972, Asif is the youngest of five children. His parents emigrated from Gujarat in the mid-1960s. His father’s ambition to seek his fortune took the family to the US for a short time in the late 70s, but by 1980 they had returned to London. Asif grew up in Hackney, and describes his all-boys secondary school as tough. His mother was ill while he was taking his GCSEs, and he vowed never to sit exams again. At 17, he worked as a runner on a film and so enjoyed feeling part of a crew that he decided he wanted to make a career in the industry.

He studied film at the Newport Film School, going on to the Polytechnic of Central London where his graduation film, Indian Tales, was highly regarded. His 1997 Royal College of Art graduation film, The Sheep Thief, shot in Rajasthan in the Hindi language, won a prize at Cannes. He made two feature films, The Warrior which won two Baftas, and Far North, which was filmed close to the North Pole.

His first documentary was Senna, which was widely acclaimed and won two Baftas. Asif used the same collage technique - drawing on camcorder snippets, TV news, and entertainment specials – on Amy, his film about Amy Winehouse. It won an Oscar, a Bafta and a Grammy Award and surpassed Senna to become the highest grossing documentary of all time in the UK. His latest documentary is about the footballer Diego Maradona: he calls it “the third part of a trilogy about child geniuses and fame”.

Asif is married to Victoria Harwood with whom he has two sons.

阿西夫-卡帕迪亚是一位获得奥斯卡奖的电影导演，以拍摄音乐家艾米-怀恩豪斯、巴西赛车明星艾尔顿-塞纳和阿根廷足球运动员迭戈-马拉多纳的纪录片而闻名。

阿西夫出生于1972年，是五个孩子中最小的一个。他的父母在1960年代中期从古吉拉特邦移民过来。他的父亲有寻求财富的雄心壮志，在70年代末带着全家去了美国一段时间，但到1980年他们又回到了伦敦。阿西夫在哈克尼（Hackney）长大，他形容他的全男班中学很艰苦。他的母亲在他参加GCSE考试时生病了，他发誓再也不参加考试了。17岁时，他在一部电影中担任跑龙套的工作，他非常享受作为剧组一员的感觉，因此他决定要在这个行业中有所作为。

他在纽波特电影学院学习电影，然后进入伦敦中部理工学院，他的毕业电影《印度故事》受到高度评价。他1997年在拉贾斯坦邦用印地语拍摄的皇家艺术学院毕业影片《偷羊贼》，在戛纳电影节上获得了奖项。他拍摄了两部故事片，《勇士》赢得了两项巴夫塔奖，还有在北极附近拍摄的《极北》。

他的第一部纪录片是《塞纳》（Senna），该片受到广泛赞誉，并获得了两项巴夫塔奖。阿西夫在关于艾米-怀恩豪斯（Amy）的影片中使用了同样的拼贴技术--利用摄像机片段、电视新闻和娱乐特辑。该片赢得了奥斯卡奖、巴夫塔奖和格莱美奖，并超过塞纳，成为英国有史以来收入最高的纪录片。他的最新纪录片是关于足球运动员迭戈-马拉多纳的：他称其为 "关于儿童天才和名声的三部曲的第三部分"。
