Arts & Culture: Freelance Writer | Event CoordinatorAmsterdam, Netherlands
About me
An endlessly inquisitive spirit, ever reading, exploring and documenting, with a deep fascination for artistic creation. A passionate writer and researcher, but with an affinity for communication and administration, jumping at every opportunity that will arise in the cultural industries. Fields of expertise: Writing and editing (music, film, culture) Digital communication (Social Media Management, copywriting) Cultural Management (cultural exhibition planning, music stage planning) Originally from Athens, Greece, I have been living in Amsterdam for more than 4 years, after a short stop in Berlin. My versatile background is a result of a constant thirst for all things cultural, and is supported by a BA in Communication, Media and Culture and and an MA in Comparative Arts and Media. From magazines and blogs to cultural management projects and digital communication, my goal is to turn my passion into work, while always seeking out to get more insight on the cultural sector.

    Event CoordinatorIn-Edit Festival NL
    Amsterdam, NetherlandsFreelance
    In-Edit NL is part of an international network of festivals that are dedicated to music documentaries, created in Barcelona in 2003, and happening worldwide ever since. Happening for the first time in Amsterdam, this version of In-Edit will also be exploring how music can be a central element in a story told through the moving image - film, video art, a commercial, a video game or a VR experience to name a few. Having a background in film and music analysis, I took on the role of the Coordinator for Crossovers, an event dedicated in innovative audiovisual projects that have music play an integral part. The aim is to showcase their projects, explore future prospects for innovation in the field of music and film, but also to connect professionals in the industry and create a platform for the new generations of artists and creators to get inspired by. My role entailed: - Researching composers, producers, music artists, as well as animators and visual artists - Curating a line-up of experts in the audiovisual field to present their work at In-Edit - Communicating with potential sponsors to provide In-Edit with technical equipment
