    FILMMAKERS FEATURED AT NEXT CAPE ANN FORUM

    Gloucester Daily Times, Massachusetts
    Feb 12 2014

    A father-daughter team of local filmmakers whose current work in
    progress documents their trip to Armenia and the 100th anniversary
    of the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians in Turkey will be the guest
    presenters for the first 2014 Cape Ann Forum, set for Sunday, Feb. 23,
    at the Cape Ann Community Cinema.

    Nubar and Abby Alexanian will be showcasing their
    documentary-in-progress "Journey to Armenia: Three Generations from
    Genocide," which is planned for release in 2015 to coincide with the
    anniversary of the 1915 massacre in Turkey.

    The duo hopes the film will spark renewed conversation about the
    long-hidden past. The genocide is still denied by many countries,
    including Turkey and the United States.

    Unbar Alexanian, who lives in West Gloucester with his wife Rebecca
    Koch, is a documentary photographer and filmmaker who has traveled
    to more than 30 countries and worked for the New York Times Magazine,
    Life, Fortune, Geo, Time, Newsweek, and National Geographic.

    His films include "Flamenco Nuevo" (2007) and "Flamenco Shorts" (2004)
    shot in Spain and Canada for the Bose Corporation; "The Professor
    of Swing" (1998), a cinematic portrait of Wynton Marsalis; and "The
    Clifford Ball" (1994) on the band Phish.

    Abby Alexanian, Nubar Alexanian's daughter and co-producer, is
    a graduate of Vassar College and worked on many of her father's
    photography and film sets.

    The Cape Ann Community Cinema event, like all presentation of the
    nonprofit Cape Ann Forum, is free and open to the public. For more
    information about this and other forums planned for 2014, as well
    as an annotated archive of previous forums, go to the Cape Ann Forum
    website at www.capeannforum.org.
