AMERICAN FILM AWARD FOR HUMANIST BROADCASTING FOUNDATION
Los Angeles, October 27, 2006
Dorothée Forma is awarded for The Story of my Name- an Armenian History – at
the Arpa International Film Festival in Hollywood.
>From the festival jury rapport:
The AFFMA film award is given to the filmmaker who best represents the
ideals of independent thought, artistic vision, cultural diversity and
social understanding.
This year, the AFFMA award is presented to Dorothée Forma, film producer for
the Humanist Broadcasting Foundation in The Netherlands.
Ms. Forma¹s documentary ³A Wall of Silence² screened at the 2nd Arpa
International Film Festival in 1999. That film paralleled the personal and
professional lives of Turkish historian Taner Akçam and Armenian historian
Vahakn Dadrian and their call for international recognition of the Armenian
Genocide.
This year, Arpa honors her for ³The story of My Name², a film documenting
Alex Peltekian¹s discovery of his cultural ancestry and his journey to his
grandfather¹s homeland.
³The Story of my Name² was produced with support of the Dutch Cultural
Broadcasting Fund
