Serj Welcomes Grandfather On Silver Screen
Posted by ZAk on Monday, November 13, 2006 - 10:07 PM

Screamers, the movie about Americas struggles to recognize the Armenian Genocide, stars the members of System Of A Down, and its finally hitting select silver screens. The movie started screening on Wednesday night as part of the AFI Film Festival, and it will open to the public for a limited showing on December 8 in Los Angeles. Another showing is set for mid-January in New York City.

Serj Tankian, whose grandfather tells his tales of the atrocities he suffered as part of the Armenian Genocide during World War 1 in the film Screamers, explained why the film's message is so important.

"A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to get this organization called The Genocide Project to come in and interview my grandfather and get his memories down and talk about his life and his suffering through the genocide and surviving through it. It was... I've got six hours of footage of him talking on my own video camera, and it was... I don't have an adjective for it. I had heard stories I had never heard in my life, even growing up having known about the genocide."

Screamers sheds light on modern day genocides and how America may not be as eager to get involved in ethnic cleansing conflicts as its rhetoric indicates.

I'm hoping the film gets some attention at Oscar time, in the documentary category. That would project it forth on an international scale.

*crosses fingers*

Anyway, that's awesome about Serj's grandfather. I got some stories from my grandmother as an adult that she wouldn't share when I was a child. That's really cool for Serj, but in a bittersweet way, of course....

man if that gets oscar attention they'll so need to realease it on DVD cause then I' can fight for it on e-bay so I can watch it. I agree with you mom that is cool for serj.
