DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY - Alcaeus Spyrou

Alcaeus Spyrou (b.1991) is a filmmaker who researches the creation of mythologies for our industrial landscapes. By documenting these superstructures of capital from their logistical abstraction into their metaphysical and spiritual dimensions, he renders visible the effects they have on the environment and the inhabitants that populate and work in these topographies. These cultural landscapes, which are understood as interrelated sites across an area, contain archaeological evidence of how factors of production are organised in depth of time, their geo-political implications, but more importantly, how they stand as a reflection of society’s moral heritage.
