Restor(y)ing / Ashes in the Snow of Thessaloniki (Documentary, 2023)
Original music composed and performed for solo oud by Yoel Anteby.
The documentary examines the public silence surrounding Jewish property in Greece and explores how this cycle of silence can be addressed through dialogue rather than confrontation. The music supports the film’s reflective and investigative tone through an intimate acoustic sound world.
The film has been praised by critics for its moral courage and depth, and for avoiding conventional and formulaic approaches often found in historical documentaries. Yoel Anteby’s original score contributes to the film’s distinctive atmosphere and narrative clarity.
The film received the Award for Best Direction at the XIII edition of the Asti International Film Festival (2023).
