German-Turkish director Fatih Akin's movie featuring episodes of the
Armenian Genocide is going to be screened in Turkey on December 5,
Daily Sabah reports.
The publication's website quotes the director as saying that he
earlier planned to produce another movie but found no actor agreeing
to play the role of Hrant Dink, the assassinated editor-in-chief of
the Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos.
Oscar-winning director Martin Charles Scorsese lauded Akin as a
unique, open-minded and good-fashioned character.
The movie, entitled The Cut, features actors Tahar Rahim, Simon
Abkarian, Hindi Zahran, Gevord Malikyan and others.
The plot is based on the 1915 mass killings and deportation of the
Armenians. The southeastern Turkish town of Mardin has been selected
as the scene of developments.
