Costa-Gavras

Konstantinos Gavras, known as Costa-Gavras, born in February 1933 in Loutra Iraias to a Greek mother and a father of Russian origin who was involved in the Resistance, could not study in Greece because of his father's political positions. He left for Paris in 1952, obtained a degree in literature at the Sorbonne, entered the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques in 1956 and was assistant to René Clément and Jacques Demy. Naturalised French in 1968, he presided over the Cinémathèque française in the eighties, then again from 2007, and directed yet another feature film in 2025.
