Nikos Koundouros (Greek: Νίκος Κούνδουρος), is a Greek film director, born in Agios Nikolaos, Crete in 1926. He studied painting and sculpture at the Athens School of Fine Arts, and was later exiled because of his political beliefs to the Makronissos island. At the age of 28 he decided to follow a career in cinematography, and started his career as a director of the film Magiki Polis (1954), where he combined his neorealism influences with his own artistic viewpoint. After the release of his complex and innovative film O Drakos, he found acceptance as a prominent artist in Greece and Europe, and has acquired important awards in various international and Greek film festivals.
