Danai Dafni-Mitsakou

Danai (she/her) has studied Social Anthropology (BA) and Animation (MA). She is interested in the intersection of ethnographic film and animation, and particularly how their combination can be used to represent the invisible -memories, imaginings, personal or collective connotations of a place. “Huldu-fólk” was created as part of her MA thesis and it is her first short film. She has also co-directed and animated the short film “In the end, nothing happened”, developed during the Ethnofest Summer School 2026.
