A father-daughter team of local filmmakers whose current work in
progress documents their trip to Armenia and the 100th anniversary
of the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians in Turkey will be the guest
presenters for the first 2014 Cape Ann Forum, set for Sunday, Feb. 23,
at the Cape Ann Community Cinema.
Nubar and Abby Alexanian will be showcasing their
documentary-in-progress "Journey to Armenia: Three Generations from
Genocide," which is planned for release in 2015 to coincide with the
anniversary of the 1915 massacre in Turkey.
The duo hopes the film will spark renewed conversation about the
long-hidden past. The genocide is still denied by many countries,
including Turkey and the United States.
Unbar Alexanian, who lives in West Gloucester with his wife Rebecca
Koch, is a documentary photographer and filmmaker who has traveled
to more than 30 countries and worked for the New York Times Magazine,
Life, Fortune, Geo, Time, Newsweek, and National Geographic.
His films include "Flamenco Nuevo" (2007) and "Flamenco Shorts" (2004)
shot in Spain and Canada for the Bose Corporation; "The Professor
of Swing" (1998), a cinematic portrait of Wynton Marsalis; and "The
Clifford Ball" (1994) on the band Phish.
Abby Alexanian, Nubar Alexanian's daughter and co-producer, is
a graduate of Vassar College and worked on many of her father's
photography and film sets.
The Cape Ann Community Cinema event, like all presentation of the
nonprofit Cape Ann Forum, is free and open to the public. For more
information about this and other forums planned for 2014, as well
as an annotated archive of previous forums, go to the Cape Ann Forum
website at www.capeannforum.org.
