'''Philopoemen Finos''' was a [[Greeks|Greek]] film producer, the founder of [[Finos Films]].

Finos was born in [[1908]], in [[Kato Tithorea]], [[Phocis]] in [[Central Greece]]. He studied Law but never practiced it as his drean had always been to produce films.

In [[1939]], he founded the "Greek Cinema Studio" which produced a single film: "Parting's Song" starring [[Lambros Konstantaras]]. During the German occupation of Greece, Finos' father was executed while his film equipment was seized. The newsreels he had produced were also confiscated and destroyed.

In [[1943]], Finos founded "[[Finos Films]]" on Stournara Street, [[Athens]], which, in [[1957]], moved to Chios Street.

Finos produced 175 films during the golden era of Greek Cinema. He employed such stars as [[Aliki Vougiouklaki]], [[Zoe Laskari]], [[Rena Vlachopoulou]], [[Martha Karayianni]], [[Jenny Karezi]], [[Georgia Vasiliadou]], [[Dinos Eliopoulos]] and many others. He launched the career of [[Irene Pappas]], however, he did not spot the talent of [[Melina Mercouri]] and turned down an offer to produce her film "Never on a Sunday".

Finos produced his last film in [[1977]]. By then, cinema in [[Greece]] had been on the decline and so was Finos' health. He died on [[January 27]], [[1977]].
