His dance film “Ruins Within Ruins” has been selected by more than 65 film festivals worldwide and has won 22 awards and accolades. His short film “Latent” was also screened in festivals around the globe and was distributed by Shorts International. Lefteris is a BAFTA Connect member since 2017.

Additionally, he studied Theatre at the University of Athens, Greece and Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Beyond filmmaking, Lefteris is a keen volunteer and has traveled extensively with NGOs in India, Iceland, and Japan. His experience living, working and studying in various parts of the world enhanced his interest in the subjects of heritage and identity. Challenging the notion of being a citizen of the world against the desperate need to belong, Lefteris explores the ideas of home, memory and abandonment with a distinct emphasis on movement and physicality. Currently, he is developing another dance film and a narrative short project. Lefteris' Instagram Lefteris'  Website My letterboxd: My film Reel Terror: Support the show
