Kostas Sfikas

Kostas Sfikas was born in Athens in 1927. He worked as an employee in the post office in his juvenile years. In 1961, he directs a short film and begins his adventure as a self-taught cinematographer. Seven years later, along with Stavros Tornes, he directs the short documentary, Theran Matins, bought later by MOMA in New York. Devoted to experimental cinema, Kostas Sfikas has filmed nine documentaries and fiction films and continues to create, being a constant alternative voice in Greek cinema. A complete retrospective of his work will be accompanied by a publication of a monograph. —Thessaloniki International Film Festival
