Orestis Laskos was a Greek film director, writer, actor and poet. Born in Eleusis, in 1907, from a rich family of landlords. After graduating high school, he moved to Athens to join the Medical School and later the Military Academy but after a while he quit. He started as a actor and singer, but in the early 1930s we was attracted to filmmaking. One of the pioneers of Greek silent cinema, Laskos directed 'Dafnis kai Hloi (1931)', regarded as a groundbreaking film for its time, due to nudity and original photography. Apart from films, he wrote poems, which he enjoyed reciting at the theater. He married twice, and had a son. Died in 1992.
