Maria Plyta
Born in Thessaloniki in 1915, Maria Plyta is considered the first Greek woman director. She took her first steps in the field of literature, while in the late 1940s she became involved with film production, working in films by Alekos Sakellarios and Yorgos Tzavellas. In 1950, she made her debut as a director, with the film The Engagement, one of the most remarkable Greek films capturing the era’s social mores, with sets by renowned Greek painter Yannis Tsarouhis. In the following decades and with 17 films to her credit, Maria Plyta will establish herself as one of the most successful filmmakers of her generation, while she also wrote screenplays for other directors’ films. She died in 2006.
