LOS ANGELES-In honor of the 100th anniversary of the forgotten genocide
that ravaged the Armenian population of Ottoman Turkey, Bloodvine
Media, in conjunction with Strongman and mTuckman Media, plans to
release "1915" in theaters on April 17 and on demand April 22, 2015.
The psychological thriller is directed by Armenians Garin Hovannisian
(author of Family of Shadows) and Alec Mouhibian, and features a who's
who of Armenian cast and crew, including executive producer Raffi K.
Hovannisian (Armenia's first foreign minister), Grammy Award winning
composer Serj Tankian (from the band System of a Down, soon to go on
a tour dedicated to the Genocide), and actors Simon Abkarian (Casino
Royale) and Angela Sarafyan (Twilight). The filmmakers will also
join tens of thousands of Armenians on a march for justice on April
24 in Los Angeles to bring attention to the first genocide of modern
history - which has been denied by the government of Turkey for an
entire century. In Yerevan, a historic premiere is being planned at
the Moscow Theatre for April 25.
"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. "'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."
Exactly 100 years after the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey,
a mysterious director (Simon Abkarian) is staging a play at the Los
Angeles Theatre to honor the victims of that tragedy - a horrifying
crime forgotten and denied for an entire century. But as protesters
surround his theatre, and a series of strange accidents spread panic
among his producer (Jim Piddock) and actors (Angela Sarafyan, Sam Page,
Nikolai Kinski), it appears that the director's mission is profoundly
dangerous, and the ghosts of the past are everywhere.
"1915" is directed and written by Garin Hovannisian and Alec Mouhibian,
produced by Terry Leonard, Garin Hovannisian, and Alec Mouhibian,
executive produced by Raffi K. Hovannisian, with original music by
Serj Tankian (from the band System of a Down), cinematography by
Leigh Lisbão Underwood, production design by Michael Fitzgerald,
costume design by Lauren Oppelt, and editing by Dan Dobi and Paul
Forte. The film stars Simon Abkarian, Angela Sarafyan, Sam Page,
Nikolai Kinski, Debra Christofferson, and Jim Piddock. For more

Foundation.
