Greek director Jacqueline Lentzou is one of the most exciting talents in today’s European cinema. Her work often revolves around atypical family structures, and her cinematic language finds poetry in seemingly mundane premises. Lentzou’s films have been presented at festivals such as Berlinale, Locarno, and Semaine de la Critique in Cannes.
