Maker of film on Armenian genocide Fatih Akın says "it is worth dying for art" + Trailer movie.(HD).
Turkish-German director Fatih Akın’s recent film “The Cut,” which takes the Ottoman killings of Armenians in 1915 as its starting point, is one of the films competing for the coveted Golden Lion award at the 71st Venice Film Festival.
Speaking at the festival after its premiere, Akın said he was "ready for the polemics" that would inevitably follow a film about such a sensitive subject.
“There are not many films on the Armenian genocide. This is why this film is necessary ... I have spent seven years of my life preparing for all of the polemics that may be caused by the film. I can say that I have already received threats, but it is worth dying for art,” he said. Hmmm....In a country like 'Erdoganistan' this is exactly what might happen to this brave man, expect a hate campaign against him being launched by the ruler of this country.Hrant Dink is only an example of many.Read the full story here.
