FILM DIRECTOR|GREECE

I am a writer, director based in Athens, Greece. My stories focus on contemporary social issues of the individual human experience, through the lens of women’s perspectives. 

 

I am interested in how we – ordinary people – are trapped in our ‘modern’ societies, and how social structures reproduce themselves, driving us away from our ‘true’ needs and desires. My stories have their roots in psychoanalytic approaches and social anthropology and are related to my philosophical and political explorations as well as my fears. As a writer-director, I strive to explore these themes in a relatable way through authentic and genuine local characters at the heart of my stories. 

 

I constantly experiment with new 'point of view' narrative structures that take us deeper into individual characters and their inner world. I also leverage the technical constraints of filmmaking to experiment with new visual styles that support my psychological, character-driven narratives.
