Producer Gracia Volpi said at a press conference in Yerevan, Tuesday.
She joins the film’s directors Taviani Brothers who do not rule out
that the Skylarks Farm will be demonstrated at schools in Turkey. Ms
Volpi said the Turkish party exerted pressure on the creative staff
in the course of shooting. "It is easier to tell and write about
the Genocide of Armenians than to shoot a film about it. However,
we tried to be as objective as possible when shooting the Skylarks
Farm. Positive Turk characters once more prove that we were far from
creating ‘a black image’ of Turks," Ms Volpi said. To recall, the
film was demonstrated in Yerevan for the first time on July 9 at the
opening ceremony of Golden Apricot the 4th International Film Festival.
