DEDICATED TO MEMORY

Dedicated to Memory presents information surrounding the ancient Macedonian burial rituals which emerged during years of archaeological excavations at the royal necropolis of Aegai (Vergina). The death and funeral rites of Philip II; the hero-worship of the chosen one; the fear of the inevitable end; the expectation of an after-life; the pain of separation; the longing for eternal rememberance, are all issues touched upon in this documentary. With the archaeological treasures in the leading role, the film endeavours to illustrate the myth of death.
