Giorgos Tzavellas

Giorgos Tzavellas, born in Athens on 10 August 1916, a descendant of the Souliote family of that name, studied law to please his father without ever pleading. As a student he was already shooting small films with an amateur camera, and he wrote with Nikos Tsiforos an operetta staged in 1936. Self-taught, he directed twelve feature films, all from his own scripts, and never stopped writing for the theatre and the revue. He died in Athens on 18 October 1976.
