Evi Stamou was born at Patras (Greece) in 1985. She has studied music at Patra’s Conservatory, political economy at Athens University of Economics and Business and filmmaking at Hellenic Cinema and Television School Stavrakos. She currently lives and works in Athens, as a film director, sound recordist for film and TV productions and video artist. Since 2010 she collaborates with artists from various fields creating video projections for music concerts, theatrical shows and performances. She is interested in studying a broader approach to the nature of the moving image and its relation to sound, creating, to that effect, non-narrative films and soundscapes, in an effort to examine the aesthetic boundaries between the more traditional cinematic forms and the evolving approaches of modern art. At the same time, she focuses on using the new types of media offered by the constantly emerging technologies in the audiovisual field. Her work has been selected to participate in International Film Festivals, Video Art Festivals and Contemporary Art exhibitions in Greece and abroad, including Cinemed International Mediterranean Film Festival of Montpellier, Venice International Experimental Art Festival, Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF), Strangloscope Experimental Film, Audio & Performance International Festival. In early 2017 her work “Mothers” was exhibited at the Nasty Women Art Exhibition at the Knockdown Center in New York City, where a copy was sold to support the nonprofit organization “Planned Parenthood”.www.evistamoufilms.com
