Director Biography - Yorgos Keramydas

I was born and raised in Ptolemaida, Greece. One of my earliest and most defining experiences with cinema was at the age of 12 when I watched Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock. That film left a strong impression on me and continues to influence my aesthetic. I am particularly drawn to "dark" films that incorporate elements of mystery and suspense, something I strive to integrate into my own work.

I have created several student short films, undertaking all stages of production— from scriptwriting and storyboarding to directing, cinematography, editing, composing and recording the music, and color correction. My first film, Play Deaf (2023), was submitted to various festivals, winning several awards, and was selected to be screened at the Drama International Short Film Festival as part of a special showcase of student films from the Hellenic Open University.

In addition to filmmaking, I have been involved in digital journalism, writing for an online newspaper, and I have explored the management of e-commerce stores. I have also engaged with graphic design, website development, sales/advertising, and computer technology. Outside of my creative projects, I play bass in a rock band, blending music with my other artistic endeavors.

Director Statement

A.I. was inspired by today’s reality, where algorithms and automation are increasingly replacing human decisions - not only in factories or offices, but in everyday life.

I wanted to explore what happens when these systems go unquestioned - when productivity becomes the only value, and control becomes invisible but absolute.

Yannis is not a hero. He is an everyday person, a worker just trying to keep his job, but he’s forced to surrender more and more of his autonomy to a system that values metrics over humanity.

Visually, the film leans into claustrophobia and absurdity. The car is both his workplace and his prison. The camera stays close to him, recording every reaction - frustration, panic, submission. Fast-paced cuts and the steady escalation of punishments echo his internal descent into powerlessness.

With A.I.: How I Learned to Love the Singularity, I want to ask:
How much control are we willing to surrender in exchange for convenience?
And if systems outthink us, will we even realize it?
