Alexis Damianos

Alongside "A Neighborhood Named The Dream", one of the most successful transpositions of Italian neorealism into Greek cinema, a film that lays bare the suffocating nature of Greek society in that era. — A man decides to come down from the mountains to the port of Piraeus, hoping to emigrate to Australia. Things, however, do not unfold as he had calculated. — Honorary Award | Thessaloniki Film Festival | 1966

For many, the greatest Greek film ever made, mythic in stature within the collective consciousness of local cinephiles, and blessed with the immortal soundtrack of Manos Loizos. — A sergeant meets Evdokia, a prostitute; they fall in love and get married. But Evdokia longs to live freely. — Best Actress (Maria Vassiliou) | Thessaloniki Film Festival | 1971

Twenty-five years after the legendary "Evdokia", Alexis Damianos returned with an epic fresco that spans half a century of Greek history. — A Greek student is held captive by the Italians in 1941. He later joins the resistance and lives through the upheavals of the Civil War and post-Civil War Greece, maintaining a guarded, wary stance throughout.
