Aristofanis Soulikias is a film animator, interested in setting into motion stories around the built environment and urbanity.  He works mostly with under-camera techniques, which involve hand-made objects and silhouettes. 

He is currently a PhD student at the School of Architecture of the Université de Montréal, pursuing an interdisciplinary research-creation study with the title: "Sensing the city: revealing urban realities and potentials through handmade film animation", which aims at examining the relationship between handmade film animation and the haptic city and how the practice of the handmade film can reveal sensory qualities of the built environment, informing thus designers but also ordinary citizens. His research has been supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
