Sophia Farantatou

Born and raised in Athens, Sophia Farantatou comes from a family that carries the history of contemporary Greece on its shoulders. On her father’s side, sailors; on her mother’s, partisans who fought against the Nazis. She did her first degree in sociology in Greece before moving to Paris. Nicole Brenez’s spiritual child, with a passion for the humanities, she attended the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris, before entering the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Marseille. In 2020, the film department at the HEAD art school in Geneva discovered her work and invited her to join the school to make a graduation film. In 2022, she completed her diploma film with the congratulations of the Jury. She is currently working between Marseille, Paris and Geneva on her first feature film.
