Public Screenings & Conversations
Bringing communities together through screenings and discussions, contributing to a living community archive.
Featured Conversations & Cultural Dialogue
Alongside screenings, my work has contributed to wider conversations and activism surrounding identity, diaspora and cultural reunification.
First UK University College London (UCL) Screening
(05/2026)
The first UK screening of Η Αναμονή / The Wait, originally created as part of a UCL Creative Arts & Humanities dissertation, took place at University College London as part of No Fixed Form, the BA Creative Arts & Humanities Final Year Project Show. The exhibition brought together interdisciplinary final projects spanning documentary, fiction, moving image, performance, installation, sound, and creative-critical practice, reflecting the programme’s emphasis on experimentation, hybridity, and collaboration across artistic forms.
Following its first local screening in Andros, bringing the film to London widened the conversation beyond the island and Greek maritime history, allowing these local stories to resonate within broader conversations surrounding cultural preservation and underrepresented histories.
For the exhibition, the specific screening space facing the river, was chosen to symbolically connect the waters of London and Andros. This visual dialogue between landscapes reinforced the film’s recurring themes of distance, movement and longing, connecting it to wider diasporic experiences.

Educational Screening & Discussion: Arsakeio Primary School, Athens
(05/2026)
Η Αναμονή / The Wait was requested to be presented at the Arsakeia Schools of Psychiko as part of the schools’ interdisciplinary programme Ναυτιλιακή Παιδεία (“Maritime Education”), attended by over 150 fifth-grade students, educators, and school directors. The event took place within the school theatre and combined the screening of the documentary with an open discussion on maritime history, documentary-making and the overlooked role of women within Greek shipping communities.
Presenting the documentary within an educational setting introduced these themes to a younger generation, widening the conversation beyond academic and local community contexts. What made the experience especially meaningful was witnessing students engage critically and emotionally with the stories, asking questions not only about documentary filmmaking and archives, but also about waiting and gender roles.
The event highlighted the importance of documentary practice within education, revealing how history can move beyond the classroom and become something felt and collectively experienced. The event used film not only as a storytelling medium but as a tool for dialogue, reflection, and the preservation of oral and underrepresented history across generations.
First Local Screening of Η Αναμονή / The Wait
The first public screening of Η Αναμονή / The Wait took place at the Λέσχη Ανδρίων (Andros Club) in Chora, Andros, during Easter 2026, alongside a weaving exhibition by the Σύλλογος Μαινήτων.
As a documentary set in Andros, there could not have been a more meaningful place for the film’s first screening. Experiencing the film collectively within the Andros community was deeply moving. The screening evolved into a shared reflection on memory, identity, and the unseen labour that shaped the island itself. Many women and families approached me afterwards to say that the stories reflected their own lives, or the experiences of their mothers and grandmothers. Others expressed a desire for the film to continue growing through even more testimonies and screenings, recognising how untouched their story was. Audience members reflected on how the island community’s reputation for appearing “closed” to foreigners may itself have originated from maritime hardship: women keeping their shutters closed while waiting for news from sea voyages, unsure whether their husbands or sons would return. Testimony research says it all: “They were tough because they had to be.”
The screening also opened wider discussions around preservation and cultural memory. Following the event, the head of the Kaireios Library expressed interest in adding the documentary to its archives, local hotels discussed screening the film within their spaces, and conversations began around the possibility of including the documentary in the Andros Maritime Museum upon its reopening.
