Konstantina Kotzamani is, in our opinion, not only the finest director working in Greece today, but one of the most singular and exciting filmmaking voices in Europe.
From Washingtonia and Limbo to Electric Swan, What Mary Didn’t Know and now Titanic Ocean, Kotzamani has developed an unmistakably personal cinematic language dreamlike, surreal, mysterious and deeply visual. Her films seem to exist somewhere between myth, memory, nightmare and fairy tale, creating alternative realities that are at once strange and strangely familiar.
Her extraordinary festival trajectory Cannes, Berlinale, Locarno, and Venice is testament to the international recognition of that vision.
And a rather more personal insight, there is an interesting comparison to be made with our favourite Sofia Coppola .
Like Coppola, Kotzamani possesses an exceptional sensitivity to female adolescence, desire, transformation and the emotional worlds that exist beneath the surface of everyday life. But where Coppola often finds poetry in restraint, intimacy and elegant melancholy, Kotzamani pushes towards the surreal, the symbolic and the fantastical. Not to mentioned that both found their cinematic language in Tokyo. For Coppola it was The Lost in Translation, for Kotzamani The Titanic Ocean.
If Sofia Coppola has created one of the defining female cinematic sensibilities of contemporary American cinema, Konstantina Kotzamani may be creating something equally distinctive for European cinema: a mythology entirely her own.
Titanic Ocean, her remarkable first feature, arriving in Un Certain Regard at Cannes in 2026, feels less like a debut than the arrival of a filmmaker who has been quietly constructing her own cinematic universe for years.
For us, Konstantina Kotzamani is not simply a promising Greek director. She is already a major European auteur and one whose best work may still be ahead of her.
Its an honor an a priviledge to have her with us on the 16/09.
Thank you KK.
