1915 Turkish Genocide of Armenians Film Submitted to 2006 Boston Jewish Film Festival
The Genocide Archive Project, Inc. submitted its DVD, 1915 Turkish Genocide of the Armenians, to the 2006 Boston Jewish Film Festival (www.bjff.org). Executive Producer David Davidian of the Genocide
Archive Project and Film Director Franchot Lubin of Lubin Productions, compiled this 32 minute enhancement of an earlier DVD created from Boston's 90th Genocide commemoration.
As the Genocide Archive Project informed PanARMENIAN.Net, the 1915 Turkish Genocide of the Armenians DVD consists of a new, powerful mini-documentary and three survivor accounts spanning the breadth of Asia Minor: Armineh Dedekian from Bandirma (across the Sea of Marmara from Istanbul), Peter Bilezekian from Marash, and John Kasparian from Van. These three survivors were subsequently interviewed by the Boston Globe in April 2005. The creators of this documentary have an accomplished record in pursuit of
Genocide recognition and film making.
The film is specifically aimed to educate students, teachers, and lawmakers. Hundreds of these DVD were hand-delivered to members of the U.S. Congress during March and April of this year by the two major Armenian advocacy groups based in Washington, D.C. The DVD 1915 Turkish Genocide of the Armenians consists of a powerful documentary and survivor accounts, detailing cause, implementation, German complicity, and aftermath of this World War I genocide. World indifference towards this progenitor of modern state-sponsored genocide led directly to its repetition by Nazi Germany against European Jews and other groups.
