YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 10, ARMENPRESS. Our Atlantis, documentary telling
about the terrible consequences of the Armenian Genocide, has been
included in the main program of the 14th Istanbul International
Independent Film Festival. In a conversation with "Armenpress",
the director of the movie Arthur Sukiasyan noted that it has been
included in the "Home" program of the film festival.
Among other things, the filmmaker underscored: "The documentary will
be screened in Istanbul. Within the framework of the 14th Istanbul
International Independent Film Festival, there will be a special
program dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide,
where the Armenian and Turkish filmmakers will reflect on personal
stories and revealing the complicated issues through movies."
The movie is a joint production of Armenia, France, and Turkey. The
documentary tells about an Armenian camp in Istanbul (Turkey), which
was built by orphans in 1960's and later on taken away by Turkish
authorities. This is a journey between the past and present of the
camp showing how 30 years later children of this camp try not to lose
their camp memories.
As this documentary collects main protagonists personal stories and
memories about camp, a larger story begins to unfold.
In a conversation with "Armenpress", the director of the movie
Arthur Sukiasyan underscored that the film is not about the Genocide,
notwithstanding, it introduces the consequences of that tragedy.
"The movie has been completed. The documentary was cut in France in
the spring and summer. The creation of the movie was supported by
the National Cinema Center of Armenia and "Hrant Dink" foundation,"
Arthur Sukiasyan noted.
