- BIOGRAFIA -
Fin da piccolo Alexandros entra nel mondo dell’immagine, interessandosi alla fotografia. Durante i suoi studi di Ingegneria ha frequentato corsi di fotografia, successivamente partecipando a delle mostre e raccolte fotografiche. Sentendo il bisogno di aggiungere suono e movimento alle sue inquadrature, si interessa di cinematografia, seguendo corsi di sceneggiatura e regia.
Da alcune delle sue sceneggiature trae i suoi cortometraggi “Eros”, “Il giardino dei trifogli”, “Giri giro tondo”, “Coco Nuts Dreams” e “Live Milano in 3 min”, i quali circuitano con successo nei vari festival italiani ed internazionali.
Nel Settembre 2006 ha creato e curato la rassegna “I sentieri contorti dell’amore”, che ha rappresentato l’italia nella manifestazione “Europe@Patras”, nell’ambito di “Patrasso capitale europea della cultura 2006”. Questa rassegna, composta da cortometraggi propri e di altri filmmaker italiani, mostrava la loro giovane visuale sull’ amore contemporaneo e le sue problematiche.
Nel Settembre 2007 ottiene il primo premio per “Live Milano in 3 min”, come miglior corto nella categoria “Over 25” del festival “Arese in Corto 2007”.
Attualmente sta preparando una docuficion sulle minoranze Ellenofone di Calabria e di Puglia. L’obbiettivo primario di questo progetto e’ la salvaguardia del patrimonio linguistico e culturale di queste minoranze, la cui lingua attraversa oggi un’avanzata fase di agonia.
Altri "lavori in corso" sono un cortometraggio, una videoclip e la scrittura di una serie TV.
E’ laureato in Ingegneria Elettrotecnica e Tecnologia dell’Informazione. Ha sempre vissuto tra la Grecia e l’Italia, eccettuato il periodo 2002-2003, durante il quale risiedeva in Inghilterra.
