"Monogramma" has uniquely recorded the individuals who have marked the intellectual, cultural, and artistic trajectory of our country with their presence and work. It has been characterized as a "National Archive" by the press, and for the first time in 2012, the Academy of Athens recognized and awarded audiovisual work, awarding producers and directors George and Ero Sgourakis the Academy of Athens Award for their entire body of work, particularly for "Monogramma." The reasoning behind this was that "…their biographical programs constitute a valuable portrait of Greeks who acted in the past but also in our era and created, as it was characterized, a work "for the next generations".
The idea of creating this series came from producer-director George Sgourakis, to present the life, work, and worldview of individuals who act in the intellectual, cultural, artistic, social, and public spheres, in an autobiographical format so that there is no interference and the cinematic document is preserved in its purest form.
The format of each episode aims at presenting the autobiographical (visual and audio recording) of an individual who operates in the intellectual, artistic, cultural, political, social, and public life, in a way that engages the interest of contemporary viewers.

«Loukianos Kilaidonis» - February 7, 2017: Death of L. Kilaidonis
Loukianos Kilaidonis: His music and songs, his voice, and his style, are recognizable from the very first verse. The troubadour of today's fifty-somethings (and beyond), a graduate of the National Technical University of Athens (Metsovio), after briefly delving into Architecture one morning, dedicated himself to what he loved and what we also came to love. Songs that, from the very first moment, sweep you into an allegro, sometimes even a melancholic dance.
Songs that you want to listen to and sing again. Songs with lyrics of his own, but also in collaboration with great lyricists. A lover of live performances and open spaces, after the Party in Vouliagmeni in 1983, the Greek Woodstock, as it was characterized with 70,000 attendees, he continued incessantly with his concerts, enriching music with theatrical and visual events.
Introduced by the producer Giorgos Sgourakis.
