Biography

Antoinetta Angelidi (Greek: Αντουανέττα Αγγελίδη, 1950) is Greek artist, challenging and highly experimental film-maker that uses any and all forms of art to deliver the most challenging and unusual films she can make. From surrealism, to dance, performance-art, theatrics, structural film, philology, poetry, tableaux-vivant, concept-art, etc. Her output is low but each film achieves, or tries to achieve, something radically new with a new language for film. Recurring themes include feminism, death as a springboard for meaning and the inner life of characters expressed using all of the above methods. Aesthetically, she carefully controls every detail of her films, using artificial sets to set up the best possible delivery for her ideas, while also creating beautiful moving paintings.
