Yannis Spanos: Behind the marquee (2024)

Synopsis

Yani Spanos, the musical genius behind classic songs and timeless melodies who chose to stay away from the spotlight, is revealed for the first time in the documentary “Yani Spanos: A Life Behind the Marquee.” Through his own words and the memories and stories of dozens of renowned collaborators and friends, director Aris Dorizas paints the life and nearly 60-year artistic journey of the man who shaped Greek music, created Neo Kyma (New Wave), and charmed even Brigitte Bardot with his talent, yet whose work remains at odds with his fame. In this unique documentary, Spanos himself, in dialogue with the director, attempts to explain why the creator can never ultimately be greater than his work.
