Anthi Daoutaki

Anthi Daoutaki is a writer, director, and visual artist. Her work highlights the need to see and understand the world outside the context of rationalism and through a female perspective. Themes that occupy her work are the understanding of time, the essence of presence, and the different types of microworlds that emerge in personal spaces. The format she usually favors is video, as she feels more at home with, but she has also been writing and collecting objects. Often, written word undertakes the task of setting the narratives, while moving pictures function as the space in which they evolve.

She has a degree from the Athens School of Fine Arts and the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, and studied Film Directing at the Metropolitan College. She was resident at the University of Quebec (Canada), and participated in workshops and group exhibitions in Greece and abroad, such as Galeria Projekt in Budapest and Action Center Kodra in Thessaloniki. Her first short film, “,As if Underwater,” won the Audience Award, the Best Southeast European Movie Award, and a Special Mention for the Female Lead in the 2020 Drama International Short Film Festival. Anthie lives and works in Athens.
