The Armenian Genocide has inspired diverse artistic expressions, with film emerging as a particularly powerful medium due to its emotional impact and wide reach. This article explores key cinematic works that depict the genocide, analyzing their thematic concerns, narrative techniques, and reception. It examines how these films confront denial, shape memory, and reflect political pressures – particularly Turkey’s efforts to suppress international awareness. Through a transnational lens, the article considers how filmmakers of Armenian, non-Armenian, and even Turkish origin approach this sensitive historical subject and its enduring legacy.
