10 years have passed since the tragic death of arguably the most important Greek filmmaker, Theo Angelopoulos. The ‘last Modernist’, internationally acclaimed filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos was born in Athens in 1935. Following film studies at the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC) in Paris, he worked as a journalist and film critic for the Athens newspaper “Dimokratiki Allaghi” from 1964-1967 and for the “Modern Cinema” magazine. He made his first short film “The Broadcast” in 1968. From the 1970s onwards, he ranked amongst the most important European auteurs. His films dealt with historical and existential themes and ancient Greek myths in modern Greece. His impressive filmography of multi awarded films include Reconstruction (1970), Days of ’36 (Meres tou 36) (1972), The Travelling Players (1974-’75), The Hunters (1977), Voyage a Cythera (1984), The Beekeeper (1986), Landscape in the Mist (1988), The Suspended Step of the Stork (1991), Ulysses’ Gaze (1995) and Eternity and a day (1998).
