Speaker’s Bio

Jacqueline (Athens, 1989) is an artist whose cinematic language involves discovering poetry in -seemingly- mundane premises. Her tools are word and image association, the dream-construct, intuition. She experiments with formats, durations, and tones. Her work she aims to discuss non-traditional family systems, loneliness, love, and most importantly, the lack of it.

Jacqueline is the recipient of numerous prominent awards, including the Leica Cine Discovery Award by Semaine de La Critique for Hector Malot: The Last Day of the Year (2018), the Golden Hugo in Chicago IFF for The End of Suffering ( A proposal)(2020), as well as the Grand Prix in Reykjavik IFF and Sevilla Film Festival for Moon, 66 Questions (2021), her debut feature which premiered in Berlinale Encounters Competition, receiving raving reviews globally.
