DES -in Greek (ΔΕΣ)- means ’see´, just as we ‘see’ films and through them we ‘see’ places, people, their stories and ourselves.

DesFilms uses the optical lens to spin unique visual tales that make visible the subtle and the invisible.

DesFilms is a proposition to look closer and to explore from a different perspective and points of view. At the same time, DesFilms is an invitation for a delicate look within.

A dancing camera that moves from dark to light, as an extension of the eye, capturing energy and fleeting moments that are translated into stories.

By crossing the boundaries between ‘you’ and ‘I’, DesFilms aspires to create a fertile common ground of thoughts, feelings and ideas, inviting us to a shared path that creates new possibilities of encountering the self and the other.

DES are the first three letters of DESpina’s name.

“Since I remember myself, I always thought in images, turning them into stories and concepts, as my own way of making sense of the world and connecting with my own truth, to the truth of others and the spaces in between. It was the gift of my first view master at the age of seven from my godfather that marked the beginning of my love affair with visual storytelling. It quickly became a driving force that goes on and on, still with the same awe, inspiring feeling, passion and joy, only using more advanced toys. Later, a degree in Politics in University of Piraeus, Greece enhanced my understanding of socio politics and global issues. My Erasmus scholarship in Aix En Provence,in South of France provided me with a full immersion in visual art throughout my travels in Europe. Followingly, a postgraduate course in Film, Video & New Screen Media in London, became the playground I needed to discover new and groundbreaking methodologies mentored by brilliant teachers and professionals while interacting with a vast network. Using audiovisual language , the language of the soul, from creating commercial content, social messages, stories for film, educating and expressing an authentic voice, is what DesFilms is all about”.
