Movie 1915, devoted to the centenary of the Armenian Genocide to be screened in spring
The directors and screenwriters of the physiological thriller are Garin Hovannisian and Alec Mouhibian, and the American Armenian rock singer, composer and the famous soloist of the System of a Down band Serj Tankian wrote the music to the film, the official website of the movie 1915 themovie.com informs. A mind-bending psychological thriller set against one of the most terrifying events of modern history, 1915 The Movie follows one man's controversial mission to bring the ghosts of a forgotten genocide back to life.
In 1915, as a world war raged in Europe, millions of Armenians were quietly taken out of their homes and marched to their deaths in the deserts of Ottoman Turkey. Towns and villages were burned to the ground, their inhabitants slaughtered. Every trace of the Armenian civilization was erased; the crime was to be denied forever. In April 2015, a whole century later, millions of Armenians will remember what is now known as the Armenian Genocide – the first genocide of modern history and the blueprint for the genocides that followed: the Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia, the Sudan.
This movie takes place a hundred years after the Genocide. It is about memory: What happens when the past is denied, what happens when it is confronted. As we near the centennial of the Armenian Genocide, 1915 The Movie calls upon each of us to end our denial—and to face, at last, the ghosts of our past.
