George Corraface president of the Thessaloniki International Film Festival in 2007.
Georges Corraface is the son of the Greek symphonic and opera conductor, and violinist, Dimitri Chorafas, Cephalonian descendant of the Neapolitan Carafa family.[1] His multi-cultural background enables him to work in French, Greek, English, Spanish, German and Italian, in roles ranging from dramatic leads to eccentric characterizations. He is most popular in France, Greece and Spain, by virtue of box office hits, best actor awards and television celebrity he enjoys in these countries. Corraface won The International Thessaloniki Thessaloniki Film Award in 1996 for Slaughter of the Cock and the State Award for Best Actor of the Year in 2001 for To Tama (Word of Honor).[2] He was the president of the Thessaloniki International Film Festival from 2005 to 2010.[citation needed]
Returning to the stage in Paris, France, in 2011, he created the role of Hook in Pan a musical adaptation of Peter Pan directed by Irina Brook. In 2012, Georges Corraface starred in British independent feature film Papadopoulos & Sons in which he played the playful and larger-than-life "Uncle Spiros".[3] The film was released in the UK through Cineworld on 5 April 2013.[citation needed]
In 2013, he wrote, directed and played in Burn Your House[1] in Paris a play based on a selection of works by Nikos Kazantzakis, he also joined the tour The Other Side of Greece,[4] a series of concerts in Paris, Brussels, Athens, with Filippos Pliatsikas and Babis Stokas and a number of outstanding artists.[citation needed]
He is currently pursuing his career as an actor, as well as branching out in the area of fiction and documentary film production.[citation needed]
He lives in Paris, France with his wife and writing partner Rosalie and their two children (Zoe Corraface, an actress/singer, and Ilya Chorafas, a documentary film-maker) and works in film, television, and theatre.[citation needed]
