Cinema of Greece
The Cinema of Greece has a long and rich history. Though hampered at times by war, political instability and a hostile Greek government, the Greek film industry dominates the domestic market, and has experienced occasional international success. Characteristics of Greek cinema include a dynamic plot, strong character development and erotic themes. Two Greek films, ''Missing'' (1982) and ''Eternity and a Day'' (1998), have won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Five Greek films have received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Though Greek cinema took root in the early 1900s, the first mature films weren't produced until the 1920s, after the end of the Greco-Turkish War.〔Vrasidas Karalis, ''(History of Greek Cinema )'' (Continuum International Publishing Group, 2012), pp. ix-xiii.〕 Films during this period, such as ''Astero'' (1929) by Dimitris Gaziadis and ''Maria Pentagiotissa'' (1929) by Ahilleas Madras, consisted of emotional melodramas with an abundance of folkloristic elements.〔Ephraim Katz, "Greece," ''The Film Encyclopedia'' (New York: HarperResource, 2001), pp. 554-555.〕 Orestis Laskos's ''Daphnis and Chloe'' (1931), one of the first Greek films to be shown abroad, contained the first voyeuristic nude scene in a European film.〔Babis Aktsoglou, "(Daphnis and Chloe: Plasticity and Lyricism )," ''CineMythology'', 2003-2004. Retrieved: 15 June 2013.〕 During the Metaxas Regime (1936–1941) and the Axis occupation, the Greek film industry struggled as it was forced to relocate overseas.
Following the Greek Civil War, Greek cinema experienced a revival. Inspired by Italian neorealism, directors such as Grigoris Grigoriou and Stelios Tatasopoulos created works during this period shot on location using non-professional actors.〔 During the 1950s and 1960s, Greek cinema experienced a golden age, starting with Michael Cacoyannis's ''Stella'' (1955), which was screened at Cannes. The 1960 film ''Never on Sunday'' was nominated for five Academy Awards, and its lead actress, Melina Mercouri, won the Best Actress Award at Cannes. Cacoyannis's ''Zorba the Greek'' (1964) won three Academy Awards.
Censorship policies of the 1967 junta and rising foreign competition led to a decline in Greek cinema.〔 After the restoration of democracy in the mid-1970s, the Greek film industry again flourished, led by director Theo Angelopoulos, whose films frequently captured international awards. The drift toward art-house cinema in the 1980s led to a decline in audiences, however.〔 In the 1990s, younger Greek filmmakers began experimenting with iconographic motifs.〔 In spite of funding issues created by the financial crisis in the late 2000s, unique Greek films such as Yorgos Lanthimos's ''Dogtooth'' (2009) and Athina Rachel Tsangari's ''Attenberg'' (2010) received international acclaim.〔Steve Rose, "(Attenberg, Dogtooth and the Weird Wave of Greek Cinema )," ''The Guardian'', 26 August 2011.
