Dimitrios Gaziadis

Died in 1961

Dimitrios Gaziadis, trained in photography in Germany, founded the Dag Film company in Athens in the early twenties with his brothers Kostas and Michalis. He directed all of its productions, with Michalis operating the camera. He filmed the Asia Minor campaign and the Delphic Festivals of 1927, made successful silent fiction films and, in 1930, with Les Apaches d'Athènes, attempted the country's first singing and sound film. The company did not survive the competition of foreign talkies and its last film appeared in 1931. He died in 1961.
