ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RECOGNITION: "1915 THE MOVIE" SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
Monsters and Critics.com
April 17 2015
Starting April 17 "1915 The Movie" will be shown in eight different
theaters in Los Angeles and will continue to be screened in various
cities across the globe. The movie is a major stepping stone towards
global recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
Why is this important? Because one hundred years ago this month,
the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) enacted a systematic plan to exterminate
its minority Armenian population. Between 1 million and 1.5 million
people were killed or died of starvation. Yet the Turkish government
still won't admit this fact.

The event was replete with dignitaries, human rights leaders,
producers, actors, media, and special guests who all converged in
the courtyard of the historic Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood for the
US premiere of 1915 The Movie, co-hosted by AFFMA and the American
Cinematheque.
A riveting psychological thriller starring Simon Abkarian (Casino
Royale), Angela Sarafyan (Twilight), and Sam Page (Mad Men), with
an original score by Serj Tankian (System of a Down), 1915 will be
released in Los Angeles theaters on Friday, April 17, in a definitive
moment in the movement to end a century of genocide denial.
"2015 marks not only the hundredth anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide, but also the close of an entire century of forgotten
genocides," said Garin Hovannisian, who directed the movie with Alec
Mouhibian. "'1915' is about denial - how we try to escape history,
how history continues to haunt us. It is also about the need to face
the ghosts of our own pasts."
As the dramatic centerpiece of the Armenian Genocide Centennial, 1915
opens in theaters across Southern California on April 17: MGN Five
Star Cinema (Glendale), Laemmle Town Center (Encino), Laemmle Music
Hall (Beverly Hills), Laemmle Playhouse (Pasadena), and many others.
"1915" will have its Moscow premiere on April 19, New York on April 22,
Yerevan on April 25, and enjoy wide release across the United States,
Russia, and Armenia this April.
