Markos Zervas

Markos Zervas was a Greek set designer, production manager and writer. His career is inextricably linked to the course of the Finos Film company, participating in 152 of its films, even as a technician and sound engineer, in addition to set designer and production manager. Zervas was born in Athens in 1920. He collaborated with Filopoimin Finos, from 1939, then with the company Hellenic Film Studios, which was newly established and is considered the forerunner of Finos Film. Since 1952, he participated in almost all of the company's films, as a set designer, and from 1958 to 1977, when the company ceased to function as a production manager. Among the most important films in which he participated as a set designer, the following should be considered: I oraia ton Athinon (1954), No Harm's Done (1955), Laterna, ftoheia kai filotimo (1955), The Auntie from Chicago (1957) etc. While as a production manager, the most famous films of the company can be found, such as The Policeman of the 16th Precinct (1959), Makrykostas and Kondogiorgis (1960), Maiden's Cheek (1959), The Wise Guy (1962) and many more. After the end of the company, Zervas was involved in various productions of television and cinema. Finally, he counts more than 200 film credits. Zervas was also involved in painting and collage. In fact, his works were exhibited twice in Athens in 1989, and once in Ermoupolis, Syros in 2001. While, in 2003, the book: Finos Film 1939-1977 (Myth and Reality) was published, a rare document on the first years of the company, and the efforts of Finos, pre-war and post-war. However, twenty days after the presentation of this book, he dies at the age of 83, from a heart attack.
