Christos Artemiou is a Greek-Cypriot filmmaker based in Athens. With a passion for cinema since childhood, he pursued film directing through self-study, hands-on practice, and participation in film school seminars, screenwriting workshops, and development labs. In 2023, he was selected to participate in the international script development workshop What’s the Story? — a collaboration between the Zurich Film Festival (ZFF), Talents and Short Film Market (TSFM), the Croatian Audiovisual Centre, and the North Macedonia Film Agency. Christos is drawn to stories grounded in realism, often exploring the raw, unfiltered realities of urban life in contemporary Greek society. His work is shaped by personal experience, focusing on marginalized characters navigating poverty and fragile family dynamics. Prelude to a Supernova is his first short film.
