TAVIANI BROTHERS’ FILM TO BE SCREENED AT BERLIN FESTIVAL

 

*

 

Paolo and Vittorio Taviani’s film "Masseria delle Allodole" (Skylark’s Farm) shot on the basis of Antonia Arslan’s novel will be screened at the 57th festival film in Berlin (Germany) on February 8, 2007, independent journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net.

 

This film tells about the Armenians Genocide through the story of a family which lives in Western Armenia and awaits the arrival of their parents from Italy.

 

Alas, the First World War prevents this family from joining and the family members fall victims to the genocide perpetrated by the Turks. This film with total budget of 9,7M € ($9M) is a co-product by Italy, Spain, Belgium, France and Eurimages.

When an Italian born friend told me that they had olive gardens/massaras back in Napoli.

My reaction was …

What?

Say that again!

Massara?

You mean “ma-a-sara”, as in the Arabic “ma’sara”, as in “olive press/juicer”?

Not to forget the so called Armenian surname “mahserejian/maaserejian” to mean “owner/operator of an olive press.

The pace at which the Turkish press is able to keep up on a not very publicized Italian film about the Armenian Genocide is incredible. They're all over it (and it hasn't even been released yet). I don't read Turkish, but I don't think they're very happy about it...

Take every words you recognize, like Berlin Film festival, Turkey, 'Ermeni Soykirmi', the name of the producers etc., and replace all those holes of the words you don't understand with 'so-called alleged Armenian claims of so-called Armenian "genocide."' And you will have a good translation.
