Best Music 2012:
“Letters Never Received” by Ilias Demetriou (42′)

Synopsis: Letters Never Received  is a history documentary based on the book The Ten-Day Diary of Agapi Molyviatis-Venezis. This diary is the sad epic of a hero, Kemalettin, who did not hesitate to risk his life and career-despite his traumatic experiences during Asia Minor war, while trying to save Ilias Venezis, the beloved brother of Agapi, from the war battalions. Out of 3.000 Greek men from Aivali that were taken to war battalions, only 24 survived. Among them was Ilias Venezis. Agapi and Kemalettin proved beyond any shadow of doubt that when people want to, even in the midst of war, they can create a piece of heaven here in earth.
