Biography
Alexandros Kalas is an emerging filmmaker based in Brisbane (Meanjin), Australia, known for his visually compelling work with local bands, including a documentary on Subpop Records band Girl and Girl. His debut short film, Disco Dolls and Chiko Rolls, draws from his father’s memoirs of growing up in 1980s Australia, exploring themes of racial tension, romance, and family. With a focus on cultural storytelling, Alex brings fresh perspectives to the screen, amplifying marginalized voices and examining the complexities of generational conflict.

From the Judges, on DISCO DOLLS AND CHIKO ROLLS
An Australian suburban story steeped in the nineteen-eighties, this short conjures its era with real conviction. Period-accurate props, cars and locations sit alongside costume, hair and make-up work of terrific detail, and the panel found the whole world convincingly built. It transported them, right down to the smoke in the nightclub air.
