Jacqueline Lentzou (b. 1989, Athens) is an artist whose cinematic language involves discovering poetry in seemingly mundane premises. Her tools are word and image associations, the dream-construct, and intuition. Through her work, she aims to discuss non-traditional family systems, loneliness, love, and the lack of it. She is the recipient of numerous awards including the Leica Cine Discovery Award by Semaine de La Critique for Hector Malot: The Last Day of the Year (2018), the Golden Hugo in Chicago IFF for The End of Suffering ( A Proposal) (2020), and the Grand Prix in Reykjavik IFF as well as Sevilla Film Festival for Moon, 66 Questions(2021), her debut feature that premiered in the Berlinale Encounters competition. Retrospectives of her work have taken place in Montreal, Vienna, Porto, and Ghent. Lentzou was the New York Onassis foundation fellowship recipient for 2022.
