George Danopoulos
Director - Photographer
Studied sound theory and film history. From 2001 through 2013 he worked at the Greek National Opera as sound engineer and video creator. In 2010, on his own initiative, he made his first directorial attempt filming the documentary "Operetta, your inner world", in order to support the operetta performances of the Greek National Opera. He did so because the secondary stage of operetta performances at the Acropole Theatre was about to close. Since then he has worked in film and television productions as a photographer and videographer. He has created video clips and theatrical trailers and has participated in the training programs of the Caravan Project. In 2018, he completed the short documentary "Rita". It is a film that thoroughly studies a prostitute character in a brothel located in Athens that has already participated in 30 festivals both in Greece and abroad. “Rita” has received awards in 7 of them.
