Kostas Sfikas

1927 - 2019 (age 92) • Directing

Kostas Sfikas (Athens, 1927 - Athens 25 May 2009) was a Greek film director, screenwriter and actor. For his film The Model he won half the award for best feature film at the 15th Greek Film Festival. In 1961 he started as a documentary filmmaker with his short films Inauguration (1962), which is recorded as a directed documentary, Waiting (1963) and Theraic Morning (1968), co-directed by Stavros Tornes, which was later purchased by the MOMA in New York. During the years of the dictatorship he seems to have developed a completely different cinematic approach - problematic, completely outside of anything that had been seen in domestic cinema up to that point. Dedicated to experimental cinema, Kostas Sfikas directed documentaries and fiction films, constituting a consistent alternative voice in the field of Greek cinema, the "last ideal of our solitary cinema".
