Biography
Vasilis Kekatos is a Greek film director and screenwriter born in 1991. He emerged as a major international talent after his 2019 short film The Distance Between Us and the Sky won the Short Film Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, the most prestigious award for short cinema. The film, which also won the Queer Palm for LGBTQ-related shorts, marked a personal milestone: Kekatos dedicated the win to his uncle, a gay man who left Greece for Australia in his youth and profoundly shaped Kekatos's worldview on homosexuality. Before this breakthrough, Kekatos had directed several shorts—Retrograde, Zero Star Hotel, and The Silence of the Dying Fish—establishing a pattern of intimate, character-driven work. In 2021, he transitioned to television, entering production on Milky Way, a teen drama series that premiered in 2023 and centers on a teenage girl facing pregnancy. His debut feature film, Our Wildest Days, received production funding from Eurimages in 2023 and debuted at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival's Generation 14plus section in February 2025. As a Capricorn born in January, Kekatos embodies the sign's reputation for disciplined artistry and emotional depth. Screenwriters craft dialogue and narrative structure for film and television across all genres. Greece has produced significant contributions to world cinema, and Kekatos represents a new generation of auteurs working across shorts, television, and feature formats.
