Veniamin Gialouris

An award-winning Australian director and screenwriter of Greek and Greek-Cypriot descent. My work spans short form, narrative and commercial, and has screened at festivals such as Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Flickers’ Rhode Island, Sydney Film Festival, Flickerfest, and St Kilda Film Festival. I have been recognised with an Australian Directors' Guild Award and an AACTA award nomination.

I hold a master’s degree in directing from AFTRS and a postgraduate certificate in creative writing and literature from WSU. Characterised by formal rigour and the synthesis of theory with practice, my films explore the diasporic identity through a lens that contemporarises the mythic.

I am currently based out of Sydney and Athens.
