Polis Loizou
Filmmaking
Having graduated with a degree in Film & Video, I went on to work on the art departments of various short and feature films.
I made a couple of my own short films, including The Pink Ladder (shortlisted for various international awards and screened around the world). I also directed a few music videos for Kinzli & the kiloWatts, and filmed many showreels for a burlesuqe dance school.
I have recently made a return to filmmaking, combining the visual art form with my spoken word.
