Already from his first feature film, Theodoros
Aggelopoulos managed to impress the audience in the
Thessaloniki Film Festival, winning four of the most
important awards: Best Feature Film, Direction,
Photography and Actress on a Leading Role. It is the first
and only black-and-white feature in his Filmography until

today, as since his following film “Days of ‘36” in 1972 and
on, he makes color films and starts to develop his unique
thematic and stylistic constants, known as “aggelopoulian”
amongst film critics and the audience; such characteristics
include the long takes, the symbolic action, the minimalist
plot, the few dialogues, the memorable artistic images and
the distance from the events, without suggesting alienation.
Historical and political themes play a leading role in his
films, as the scenarios focus directly or indirectly to specific
time periods, through which he narrates his personal
odysseys. The wandering, as a central thematic motif, will
enter the world of Aggelopoulos in his third film, “The
Travelling Players”, which is probably his most memorable
film for most people, including his fans. It is the film that
made Aggelopoulos famous internationally and rightly gave
him a place in the international cinematographic history.
Aggelopoulos stated that “essentially, the film ‘The
Traveling Players’ does nothing more than recording the
years of my life. It records the events of my lifetime, and
perhaps even of older periods, such as, for example, the
disasters of 1922 with the famous monologue of Stratos
Pachis”.

Since then, Aggelopoulos has made ten more feature films,
two documentaries, while he also participated in two
anthology films, establishing himself as one of the most

has worked with very important actors and actresses, such
as Vaggelis Kazan, Manos Katrakis, Marcello Mastroianni,
Jeanne Moreau, Harvey Keitel, Erland Josephson,
Thanassis Veggos, Maia Morgenstern; while he has kept the
