"The atmosphere, symbolism and historical context of his cinematic storytelling went beyond the art form that he worked in and inspired young filmmakers," Greek President Karolos Papoulias said Wednesday. "(This) occurred at a time when he was extremely creative and the country was in need of his insight, making his absence all the more painful."

In The Travelling Players, set in 1952, a troupe of actors recall Greek political history and their own personal histories since they last visited the country, in 1939. Nearly four hours long, the film consists of just 131 shots, allowing the audience time to assess the situation rationally. The Hunters follows the eponymous group across a snowy mountainside in northern Greece as they come across the body of a Greek guerrilla fighter killed in 1949. At the subsequent inquest, each member of the group, as well as various peasants and workers, speaks of his experience of the civil war and the years that followed. Shot in pastel shades, the film slowly unravels the various strands in this inquisition of the right, using dream, memory and fantasy, and the powerful symbol of the corpse as the silent accuser.
