FOREWORD

This work surveys the general work of the directors of short and feature documenteries
and short movies in Hellas from 1900 to 2000. It considers not only the films themselves, but
with a small biography for the ones that was available. While there is rather meager supply of
sources in United States, we have been fortunate enough to discover and use some important
texts and sources of information.
In this work, we have tried, to the best of our knowledge, to research the scattered
information and to put them in chronological order. We use in our work only movies that
they are produced in 35 mm, 16mm or supper 16 mm. If we have listed any video production
in the movie index we apologize.
During the first five decades of the 20th century there was a minimal effort to produce
short or feature documentaries in Hellas. The only exceptions were the "Newsreels" of the
Balkan War (1912-1913), World War I (1917-1918), and Asia Minor War (1919-1922) by
cameramen Joseph Hepp, Demetris Gaziadis, Giorgos Prokopiou, Demetris Meravidis,
Gavrilis Longos. During World War II (1941-1944) and the Civil War (1946-1949) certain
events were recorder by cameramen Joseph Hepp, Prodromos Meravidis, and Filopoimin
Finos.
The pioneer in that form was, Charilaos Mavrogenis who in 1911 made a serious effort
to produce what are known today as documentaries. He tried to produce the first scientific
documentary that dealt with insects and reptiles. The next pioneer was Achilleas Madras who
in 1922 produced the documentary Oi Prosfiges Tou Polemou (The Refugees of the War).
Other writers give the title The Exodos of Refugees. It presents the oppression of Greeks by
the Ottomans in the cities and towns of Macedonia, West Thrace, and Smyrna.
It took many years for Greek producers, directors, scriptwriters and the government to
realize the importance of documentaries (short or feature). The crucial steps were the
establishment of the Thessaloniki Film Festival in 1960, the establishment in the city of
Drama festival in 1978 specializing in short movies and documentaries only, and the
financial subsidies by the Ministry of Culture through the Greek Film Center. The arrival of
television gave a new impetus to the production of short movies and documentaries. After
1960 the production of short movies and documentaries increased yearly to the point where
there was an overproduction of this genre in comparison to Greek speaking population. There
was also an abundance of video productions, which we do not deal with here since we limit
ourselves only to 35 and 16 mm.

Trifon Tzavalas
The only son of Panayiotis and
Sophia Tzavalas, Trifon was born in
Athens in 1935. After graduating
from the 8th Gymnasium for Boys,
he enlisted in the Greek Air Force
for his military service. Once out of
the service, he worked next to the
great film directors Giorgos
Tzavelas and Vassilis Georgiadis
who produced some of the classic
films during the golden age of
Greek cinema in the 50's and 60's.

Then Trifon decided he needed more film training and went to Germany, then to
Montreal, and finally to Hollywood where his father's brother, William Chavalas, was the
artistic director at 20th Century Fox designing film sets and movie theaters. W. Chavalas
designed and decorated some of the finest movie theaters built in Los Angeles in the
1940's and 1950's. One of his monumental works is the Byzantine art of the church of
Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, just before Trifon
arrived in Los Angeles, his uncle suddenly died. In those early days, Trifon struggled to
make a living while studying film direction at Columbia College. As a thesis project, he
researched and wrote "The History of Greek Cinema". That thesis germinated into the 6-
volume encyclopedic work, The History of Greek Cinema, which is now in this website. It
took him practically the rest of his life to assemble the information for this publication. In
the meantime, for relaxation, he wrote poems (a selection is included here).
He and his wife Maureen raised one son, Panayiotis, and dote on their three
grandchildren: Sophia and the twins Triphon and Talia.

Due to his untimely illness, which to a great extent paralyzed Trifon in 2008, his friend
Takis Demopoulos undertook the effort to edit and complete the publication. Zafiris
Gourgouliatos assisted with the publication and web presentation. This electronic version
of the book is published by the Hellenic University Club of Southern California, a Non-
Profit Cultural Organization.
