I am a multidisciplinary filmmaker, curator, and dramaturg based in Athens. I direct, write, produce, and program content for festivals and experimental projects, collaborating with institutions like the Athens & Epidaurus Festival. My work spans experimental shorts, stage monologues, and performance-based cinema, often exploring queer histories, care, and memory through collaborative, cross-disciplinary practices. I have created projects from intimate visual poems to larger festival programs, and I love building links between cinema, live performance, and curatorial practice. Through my work as a programmer, producer, director, and performer, I aim to broaden access to experimental storytelling and to foreground diverse voices and forms.
