Emery Tales is a 2015 Greek documentary film written and directed by Susanne Bausinger and Stelios Efstathopoulos. Set on the island of Naxos, the film illustrates the declining emery industry in an isolated and struggling mining community.
The film premiered at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival on March 3, 2015.
In 2014, a group of miners try to mine as much "smyrigli", or emery, as possible in the mountain of Naxos. They are only able to mine two or three times every year. Apeiranthos, one of many communities on the island,[2] is dwindling due to its dwellers transferring to other more beneficial places in Greece.
