biography: Cineasta griego-chipriota que guió los comienzos cinematográficos de Melina Mercouri y de Irene Papas, y que personificó la esperanza de un nuevo cine griego a finales de la década de 1950, antes de alcanzar el éxito mundial con Zorba el griego (1964). Nacido en Limassol (Chipre), Michael Cacoyannis estudió derecho antes de probar suerte en Londres como actor y director de teatro. De vuelta a Grecia, a mitad de la década de 1950, dirigió varias películas de éxito, como Stella (1955), con Melina Mercouri, y La chica de negro (1956), al tiempo que proseguía su carrera cinematográfica en Gran Bretaña. A continuación realizó, dentro de géneros muy diferentes, Electra (1962), con Irene Papas, y Zorba el griego (1964), según la obra de Nicos Kazantzakis, con Anthony Quinn en uno de sus papeles más conocidos. La música de esta película (de Mikis Theodorakis) dio la vuelta al mundo. Su producción posterior es muy desigual, destacando entre sus largometrajes Las troyanas (1971) e Ifigenia (1977). Como director teatral, en 1987 montó para la Ópera de Frankfurt la obra de Gluck Ifigenia en Táuride.

biography:
Michel Cacoyannis ou Michael Cacoyannis (en grec: Μιχάλης Κακογιάννης, Mikhális Kakoyánnis), est un réalisateur et metteur en scène grec, né le 11 juin 1922 à Limassol (Chypre) et mort le 25 juillet 2011 à Athènes.

Les origines chypriotes de Michel Cacoyannis n'ont pas, avant l'indépendance puis la partition, posé de problème quant à sa nationalité grecque. Fils de bonne famille, il étudie le droit à Londres et devient barrister en 1943. Il travaille pour la B.B.C (Service d'outre-mer) de 1941 à 1950.

Il suit alors une formation d'acteur à la Central School of Dramatic Art et de metteur en scène à la Old Vic School. Il devient acteur en 1947, mais choisit de se concentrer sur la mise en scène de théâtre.

Il se rend à Athènes en 1953, où il travaille pour le théâtre et le cinéma. Son premier film, Le Réveil du dimanche, est salué par la critique comme un véritable «réveil» artistique au milieu d'une production grecque encore peu sûre techniquement. Son écriture filmique tranche alors. Cacoyannis fait alors partie d'une vague de nouveaux réalisateurs (avec principalement Níkos Koúndouros et Tákis Kanellópoulos un peu plus tard) modernisant le cinéma grec, préparant le Nouveau Cinéma grec.

Si Cacoyannis s'oriente rapidement vers l'adaptation cinématographique des tragédies antiques, ses premiers films empruntent déjà la structure au théâtre antique: son héros ou héroïne affronte seule les forces insurmontables du destin, devant un chœur qui assiste au drame et le commente, mais sans intervenir. Stélla (1955) en est l'archétype même. ...

Michael Cacoyannis

biography:
Michael Cacoyannis (eigentlich Michalis Kakogiannis) war ein zypriotisch-griechischer Filmregisseur, Drehbuchautor und Produzent.

Michael Cacoyannis arbeitete zunächst als Rechtsanwalt. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs produzierte er griechischsprachige Programme für die BBC. Nach dem Krieg gab er die Juristerei auf und arbeitete in London als Schauspieler und Regisseur. Als es für ihn schwierig wurde, eine gesicherte Beschäftigung als Regisseur in der britischen Filmindustrie zu finden, kehrte er nach Griechenland zurück und drehte dort 1954 mit Windfall in Athens seinen ersten eigenen Film. Cacoyannis war Wegbereiter der Karriere des griechischen Superstars Melina Mercouri. Sein erster internationaler Erfolg wurde Elektra von 1962.

Weltweit berühmt wurde er allerdings erst 1964 mit der Verfilmung des Romans Alexis Sorbas von Nikos Kazantzakis mit Anthony Quinn in der Titelrolle. Mit der musikalischen Untermalung durch Mikis Theodorakis wurde nebenbei der Sirtaki aus der Taufe gehoben. Der Film wurde für sieben Oscars nominiert und gewann in drei Kategorien. Doch geriet sein nächster Film, Der Tag, an dem die Fische kamen von 1967 mit Tom Courtenay, zu einem künstlerischen und finanziellen Fiasko. Er konnte sich aber 1971 mit der Verfilmung der Euripides-Tragödie Die Troerinnen (The Trojan Women) rehabilitieren. Nach langer Abstinenz drehte Cacoyannis 1987 den Film Sweet Country.

1999 entstand sein letzter Film Der Kirschgarten.

Auf ein Konzept von Cacoyannis geht die seit 2004 installierte neue Beleuchtung der Athener Akropolis zurück.

biography: Eleni - Electra Anousaki (Greek: Ελένη Ανουσάκη, Athens, 1 May 1944) is a Greek actress and politician. Her parents are actress Malaina Anousaki and opera tenor and protagonist of the revue genre, Evangelos Anousakis. She first appeared in cinema in 1950 at the age of six. She was the little girl held by Eleni Hatziargyri in the film I Sinned for My Child, in which her father starred. At the age of 16, she entered the Drama School of the National Theatre as an exceptional talent. She appeared in the film The Red Traffic Lights and was expelled from the school due to her appearance. Later, the decision of the director Thanos Kotsopoulos was overturned and she returned. At the same time, she accepted an invitation from FOX and went to Cinecittà to study, with teachers such as Carol Reed, Rex Harrison, Richard Bard, Monica Vitti, etc. She did not complete her studies, but she played in Carol Reed's film, Agony and Ecstasy.

Wonderful Creatures

overview: The series follows the lives and loves of three 30-something professionals in modern day Athens. Elli (Faidra Douka) is a junior executive in a record company, having to deal with a highly demanding bitch-of-a-boss. Following the end of a serious relationship, Elli is worried about never having a chance to marry or have kids. Her search for new partners mostly results in the entry of weirdos in her life. Mitsaki (Mirto Alikaki) is a radio producer with a love-hate-relationship with her own boss. A life-long party girl with a tendency towards short-lived relationships and an aversion to taking any short of responsibility, Mitsaki has to come to grips with the idea of growing up. Billy (Giorgos Pyrpassopoulos) is a reporter with a rather unsteady love-life. He is a homosexual, but tends to be turned-off by the quirks of his various partners and has yet to fully commit to a relationship.
