He was born in Konitsa, a remote and wild mountain area. In 1988, he was professionally engaged with photography. Ten years later, he directed his first documentary film, attracted by the directness of the moving image. Since then, he’s trying to transmit nature’s minimalism and harmony to the viewers. He’s passionate with planting oak trees.
Γεννήθηκε το 1967 στην περιοχή της Κόνιτσας, έναν τόπο απομονωμένο, άγριο και ορεινό. Το 1988 άρχισε την επαγγελματική του ενασχόληση με τη φωτογραφία. Δέκα χρόνια μετά, σκηνοθέτησε το πρώτο του ντοκιμαντέρ επιλέγοντας έτσι την αμεσότητα της κινούμενης εικόνας. Έκτοτε προσπαθεί με τις ταινίες του να μεταφέρει τη λιτότητα και την αρμονία της φύσης στο θεατή. Πάθος του, να φυτεύει βελανιδιές.

MountGrammos, in the north-east corner of Greece, is one of the most wild and virgin mountains of the country. There, humans and nature coexist in harmony. Mr. Sotiris has lived a simple life in Grammos for the last 80 years. Every fall, he starts a difficult journey searching for wild bees in the forest. Lately, during his journeys, he has noticed that wild bees are becoming fewer and fewer. Life and nature have gifted him with wisdom, so he can appreciate every new breath. Through endless hours of waiting in the forest, he has become a philosopher who seeks to explore the beginning and the end of humanity
