Biography
film director
Stavros Tornes
Kostas Sfikas
Born in Athens in 1927. He was a postal employee
from his adolescence. Costas Sfikas began the adventure of the
selftaught filmmaker in 1961 with his short film Inauguration. It
was followed by the documentary Wait in 1962 and Theraik
Dawn in 1968 which he made in collaboration with the late Stavros
Tornes and where the influence of the neorealistic school is prevalent.
The vision of a dialectical materialistic cinema, capable of giving form
to the conquests of Marxist philosophical thought, led him to make the
films Model (1974) and Allegory (1986).
