    Full-length feature film by Artak Igityan "Sunrise over Lake Van"
    will be screened in Yerevan's Moscow cinema on April 23, 2011.

    This is the first time, where the subject of Genocide is observed
    from the view of its impact on several generations of emigrants, as
    well as first time a Turkish actress is engaged in the Armenian film.

    The events of the film are the results of distant 1915 and are taking
    place in Garapet Pamboukchyan's family.

    This family presents the 4th generation of Armenian emigrants in the
    US, who are endangered to assimilate with this enormous international
    tank, called "America," The film tells about Garapet's son, from one
    side, who revolts against father's attempts to save the roots, and his
    grandson from the other side, who has a love affair with Turkish girl.

    Garapet, who is already eighty, and whose mother had survived by
    a miracle during the genocide, tries to awake and strengthen the
    connection between his lost motherland and his generation Americanized,
    thus trying to save the family from estrangement and separation.

    How is he going to control the situation and how to take his son
    and grandson back to the roots? He relies only on the genetic memory
    existing in every Armenian's blood, which is impossible to erase or
    slay, no matter where he or she lives. But is it going to work?

    The film has been shot in the United States, France, Western Armenia.

    It stars various nationality actors and actresses from abroad: Jean
    Pierre Nshanyan (USA), Aren Vatyan (Russia), Arevik Martirosayn
    (France), Gunish Zan (Turkey), Karen Jhangiryan.

    The film is directed by Artak Igityan and Vahan Stepanyan. The
    script writers are Armen Vatyan and Aren Vatyan, the operator is
    Rouben Shahbazyan. Art director is Gagik Babayan. The music has been
    composed by Hayko.
