Hi, I’m Sofia Sfyri, a Greek filmmaker working across fiction and hybrid documentaries. I direct, write, edit, and work as an assistant director on international film and TV productions. I collaborate with broadcasters and cultural institutions, and I’m passionate about stories that cross borders and genres.
I’m a Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artworks Fellow and Silver Athena winner for Spiti. I continually explore new forms of storytelling and strive to bring complex ideas to life through collaboration with teams, festivals, and audiences.
