Biography
Gavron was educated at Camden School for Girls. She graduated from the University of York with a BA in English in 1992 and an MA in film studies from Edinburgh College of Art when it was associated with Heriot-Watt University. She then worked for the BBC for three years. She went on to study feature film directing at the National Film and Television School in London. The actor Rafi Gavron is the son of her half-brother, Simon Gavron.
Gavron is married to cinematographer David Katznelson, and they have two children.
Career
Gavron began her film career making documentaries, a field that seemed "more accessible at that point," but kept returning to narrative filmmaking because of her desire to tell stories.
Gavron made her feature film debut in 2007 with an adaptation of Monica Ali's novel Brick Lane.
In 2015 she directed the film Suffragette about a fictional working-class suffragette played by Carey Mulligan. The film was acquired by Focus Features (originally Relativity) in March 2015. The film premiered at the 2015 Telluride Film Festival.
