Kleopatra is an animator at heart. Although she animates 2D objects on screen, she would rather infuse life to real objects, whether they are found or made of clay, fabric and wood. She studied photography at Blow Up in Athens with Andreas Smaragdis, film studies at the European Film School in Denmark and animation at the University of Bristol. Among other positions she has held over the years, she has worked as a casting associate for an advertising agency, as an on-site photographer for the Pantelis Voulgaris feature fim “Acropol” and as a production assistant for “Aardman Animations” in Bristol, England. She was the director and animator for all claymation title sequences for the very successful

greek tv variety show “AMAN”.

They are both founding members of  Medea Electronique.
