Greek Cinema - Hellenic University Club of Southern California

FOREWORD
This work surveys the general view of the short, feature documentaries and short movies
in Greece from 1900 to 2000. It considers not only the films themselves, but their political
background from the period of their introduction in Greece to their eventual development.
This work also is an attempt to depict what has been done with documentary productions
over the pre -2000 period in chronological order. 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 articles
about the Greek short movies, and to put them in chronological order. We use in our
work only movies that they are produced in 35 mm, 16mm, or super 16mm. If we have listed
any video production in the movie index we apologize.
We divided our work in Chapter 1900-1975 and 1976-2000, Index of movies from 1900-
2000, and the domestic and international festivals that the short movies and documentaries
participated from 1900-2000.
