Menelas Siafakas (born 1974) is an Athens-based Greek artist, filmmaker, photographer, and film festival director.
Growing up in an almost invisible and politically ignored gay scene, he decided to leave Greece in the early 1990s and study sports science at the University of Glasgow.
He is also a member of the team that sought an ultimately successful conviction of Greek Orthodox Bishop Amvrosios for homophobic hate speech.
He is also involved in the ongoing fight for justice following the brutal murder of Zak Kostopoulos, one of Greece's most prominent and courageous LGBTQI+ activists, in September 2018.
Siafaks also curated erotic film programs screened in various European cities (Vienna and San Francisco).
