Dan Georgakas - Stella (1954) and women in Greece

Women in Cacoyannis’ films

Question: It was very interesting to read your essay on the women in Cacoyannis’ films. What inspired you to write on that topic? (Neal Ratto / Koury Hajjar)


Greece's response to Stella’s actions

Question: With Stella being so different from other films, and the principal character representing a woman who opposes common culture, denounces marriage and explores a new sexual role, did Greek men or women take offense to Stella or did they admire her? I know that the film won many awards, but was there tension about the way Stella was acting and depicted in the film? (Jillian Mastroianni)


Perception of women since Stella

Question: In your essay on Stella, you briefly discussed the perception of Greek women during the time period directly after World War II. How do you think, if it all, the perception of women has changed since films Stella and Never on Sunday? (Pat Mullane)
