Project Details

🎬 THE GOVERNOR brings to the screen the true story of Ioannis Kapodistrias, the greatest Greek politician and the first Governor of Greece after its liberation from the Ottomans. Kapodistrias played a crucial role in Switzerland’s independence and in maintaining Europe’s balance of power after Napoleon’s fall. Fighting with dignity for freedom and justice, he gives up the love of his life, Roxandra Sturdza, and fearlessly confronts his opponents, sacrificing wealth, glory, and international recognition. The lead roles will be played by Marina Kalogirou, Nick Ashdon, and Antonis Miriagkos. 🇬🇷 Director Yiannis Smaragdis is one of Greece’s most acclaimed filmmakers, a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, known for his successful films: Kazantzakis (2017), God Loves Caviar (2012), El Greco (2007), and Cavafy (1996).
