France, SACEM France. Represents Greece at the FERA (Federation of European Directors) D irector, Author, Impresario, Entrepreneur etc, Costas Ferris was the primary creative force behind the production of the 1983 film "Rebetiko" as well as the 1991 Television special series for NGTV, which was essentially a Guided tour of Rebetiko music, titled " Stou Thoma - O Kosmos Tou Rebetikou" (At Thomas's - The World of Rebetiko) . While his film " Rebetiko " is now well known and has reached near legendary status among avid Rebetiko Aficionados on both sides of the Atlantic, those fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to witness the " Stou Thoma " production are equally unanimous, that it too is destined to become a special event and as satisfying and illuminating a video experience as was the 1983 movie. Ferris has been one of the seminal forces behind the movement to bring the Rebetic Ethos, along with it's marginal Sociological connotations in from out of the cold to shine a more realistic light on this seldom whispered about past. By doing so he has cast new insights on this most absorbing Hellenic musical treasure from the first part of the 20th century. His film "Rembetiko", focused on a good deal more then just the musical content of the genre. The film's primary significance stems from the fact, that it gave a tangible and realistic human context to people, places and events from a period in time, that for many has always been something of a Sphinx Enigma. This is particularly true for individuals who are now second or third generation English speaking descendents of the late 19th century Greek Diaspora, that left the Greek mainland a long time ago. It is this Demographic in particular which often has a difficult time relating to various elements from their own Ethnic history, that the labors of individuals such as Ferris have been most instructive and something of a revelation. One that serves to remind a few of us who we really are and from where we actually came.
