A tragic end for Palme d'Or winning filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos

With a career that spanned over 40 years, Theo Angelopoulos was one of the great Greek filmmakers who enjoyed arthouse and festival success, with films such as Ulysee's Gaze and Eternity and a Day. He was working on his latest film The Other Sea, which he'd hoped would be finished in time for this year's Cannes Film Festival when he was struck by a motorcycle.

Angelopoulos was due to visit Australia in June this year, to be present at a retrospective of his films planned for Melbourne and Sydney.

We send our sincere condolences to his wife Phoebe and his children.
