Whispering Memories

WHISPERING MEMORIES tells the story of a three-day long rural wedding, the cultural richness and history of the Taurus mountain region in Turkey. Village youngsters curious to know of past times, engage in conversations with their elders. 'Whispering Memories' is not a story of Armenians who had to leave but of those who stayed behind and silently became Muslims; they are now called the 'Converts'.

Memories without Borders

Memories Without Borders is a unique Turkish-Armenian-Azerbaijani documentary, following impacts of troubled histories in individual lives today. Crossing a region as divided by closed borders as rival readings of the past, the film traces legacies of violence stretching from mass murder in Ottoman Turkey in the early 20th century, to war in Nagorny Karabakh in the 1990s. Memories without Borders is a collaboration between CAM Film (Istanbul), Internews Media Support NGO (Yerevan), Internews Azerbaijan (Baku) and the Stepanakert Press Club. It was made in partnership with the UK-based independent organization Conciliation Resources.
