LES CHEMINS ARIDES

<p> <em>LES PETITS PRINCES</em> and <em>ADALIOS</em> present</p> <p> STONY PATHS a documentary by Arnaud Khayadjanian</p> <p>  </p> My name is Arnaud Khayadjanian and I'm filmmaker. At the age of twenty, I discovered that in 1915, my great-grandparents survived the Armenian Genocide with the help of the Righteous. <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Profillinkeldn-1415183223" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/134846/profilLINKELDN-1415183223.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> This story changed my vision of the genocide, the Turks. Since then, I have traveled in the footsteps of my origins in Armenia and Turkey; I was supported by the <em>Hrant Dink Foundation</em> to conduct historical research; and I wrote this documentary: <strong>STONY PATHS</strong>   <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Anna_vahan-1414171857" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/131296/ANNA_VAHAN-1414171857.png"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><strong>SYNOPSIS</strong></u></p> <p> In Anatolia, a 47 km walk in the footsteps of my great-grandparents, survivors of the Armenian genocide. Along the way, the same one used by the deportees, snowy landscapes enter into dialogue with the voices of survivors and descendants of the Righteous.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Fumi4-1414170156" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/131274/FUMI4-1414170156.jpg"></p> <p> © Anton Ginzburg</p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><strong>PURPOSE</strong></u></p> I want to explore places witnesses of history, the last traces of the past. The mountains, the river, the earth, the sky - where human time has stopped, leaving the pace set by nature. <p> These landscapes, whose immensity seems conducive to contemplation, are for me the impalpable echo of past suffering.</p> What remains to be taken from these places abandoned by the action, delivered to "nothing"? What is he hiding in this emptiness? <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Returninghome-1414412142" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/131779/returninghome-1414412142.jpg"></p> <p> © Nuri Bilge Ceylan</p> <p>  </p> <p> I do not limit myself only to honor the memory and the pain of the Armenian Genocide victims; I will also hear the word of the descendants of righteous condemn their world to remain speechless.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The painting, <em>The Good Samaritan</em> will occur first as an enigma, before gradually revealing its resonance with what concerns me.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Tableau_recto-1414402222" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/131722/TABLEAU_RECTO-1414402222.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><strong>TEAM</strong></u></p> <p> Writer, director and co-producer: Arnaud KHAYADJANIAN</p> <p> Producer: Magali CHIROUZE</p> <p> DOP: Thomas FAVEL</p> <p> Sound: François BAILLY</p> <p> Translator: Şafak DUYAN</p> <p> Editing: Aurélie JOURDAN</p> <p> Music: Jack BARTMAN</p> <p>  </p> <p> <u>BROADCASTING</u></p> <p> <strong>STONY PATHS</strong> will be broadcasted on BIP TV.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>SCHEDULE</u></strong></p> <p> December 6-22: Shooting</p> <p> January-February: Post-production</p> <p> April 2015 : Release film</p> <p>  </p> <p> Un movie produced by:</p> <p> ADALIOS - <a href="http://www.adalios.com/" target="_blank">WEB</a></p> <p> LES PETITS PRINCES - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Les-Petits-Princes/174331402763717?fref=ts" target="_blank">FACEBOOK</a></p> <p>  </p>
