A documentary on the renowned Cypriot Australian luthier Harry Vatiliotis has premiered at the Bridges International Film Festival in Corinth, Greece.

The documentary, titled The Last Violin, has been produced by director Carla Thackrah and producer / composer Romano Crivici. It focuses on Harry, who is Australia’s best regarded and most prolific luthier (someone who creates instruments with string, a neck and sound box).
