Participation in Short Film Lab at Linz Film Festival 2026

I'm happy to share that my project 12 Ways to Cure Your Depression has been selected for the Short Film LAB, part of the Film Talent Academy presented in collaboration with Festival de Cannes – SFC Rendez-vous Industry, at the Linz International Short Film Festival.

The Short Film LAB is a two-phase development and industry-access programme for filmmakers working on a short film currently in development. Phase 1 runs from August to October 2026 and includes online masterclasses on pitching strategy and project presentation, followed by a four-day residency during the Linz International Short Film Festival in October, where I'll pitch the project in front of a professional selection committee.

12 Ways to Cure Your Depression is being developed as a Greek-French co-production, produced by Mary Kolonia at Lucid Dreamers Productions.

It's a meaningful next step for the project, and a chance to bring it in front of international collaborators and producers as it moves toward production.

I would like to thank the Netherlands Film Fund for supporting my participation and making this experience possible.
