Michael Cacoyannis, a renowned director and writer, entered this world on June 11, 1922, in the vibrant city of Limassol, Cyprus, a nation situated at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
As a master of his craft, Cacoyannis left an indelible mark on the film industry, particularly with his iconic works such as Zorba the Greek (1964),a cinematic masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences to this day, Electra (1962),a poignant and thought-provoking adaptation of Sophocles' timeless tragedy, and Eroika (1960),a cinematic celebration of the human spirit.
Tragically, Michael Cacoyannis' life came to a close on July 25, 2011, in the eternal city of Athens, Greece, a metropolis steeped in history, culture, and beauty.
