“When the eyes of the artists meet in truth, a real spark lights up”, writes the distinguished director Pantelis Voulgaris about the loss of the actor Costas Kleftogiannis, who passed away at the age of 75, defeated by the coronavirus.

Kleftogiannis’s career in cinema was connected almost exclusively with Pantelis Voulgaris. He played in “Petrina Chronia”, starred in “Fanela me 9” (Galantis), and in “Psychi Vathia” (Brigadier General of the National Army, Tsaglis / Tsakalotos), while he also participated in “Little England”.

“And Costas! No. Good actor, good collaborator, good photographer, good friend. We collaborated on four films, but we also made a lot of friends between the cinematic adventures. Saturday night, at the hospitable house of the Kleftogianni, then, in Maroussi. The company is great, all ages. The warmth is guaranteed.

Nice man, gentle, modest. I admired his quality on stage with Thanasis Vengos. We were in the mountains of Kastoria, in Mankovic, in the cold and the agony of shooting. In the eyes of Kleftogiannis, worship and respect for Thanasis. When the eyes of the artists meet in truth, a real spark lights up. We were seen by those who were there, the crew, the accomplices and the people who had come up from the city to watch the shooting “, said Pantelis Voulgaris.
