Director Biography - Yorgos Keramydas

Yorgos Keramydas is an emerging filmmaker from Ptolemaida, Greece. His work is rooted in dark psychological storytelling, visual narration, suspense, and emotionally restrained characters. Since his early encounter with Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, he has been drawn to films that create tension through atmosphere, silence, and suggestion.

He has directed several student and independent short films, frequently working across writing, directing, cinematography, editing, music, and color grading. This self-sufficient process has shaped a visual style focused on controlled compositions, symbolic objects, psychological unease, and the expressive use of light, rhythm, and sound.

He completed three years of theatre and acting workshops, with training in body and voice work, improvisation, acting methods, directing, scenography, and theatrical performance organization. He has also performed on stage, an experience that supports both his own screen performances and his work with actors as a director.

His films have received awards and nominations at independent festivals, including distinctions for editing, cinematography, soundtrack, experimental film, student short film, and no-dialogue cinema. His work often explores guilt, isolation, emotional distance, obsession, loss, and the hidden violence within intimate relationships.

Alongside filmmaking, he has a background in digital journalism, graphic design, music, theatre, and computer technology, elements that continue to support his independent, hands-on approach to cinema.

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?
