Aztag Daily- Hamazkayin Lebanon’s Central Executive had organized a meeting with French-Armenian director and member of the Paris Armenian Audiovisual Association Jacques Kebadian on Friday, November 13, 2015 at 8:30pm at the Hamazkayin Levon Shant centre’s K. & H. Armenian hall.
Hratch Tokatlian welcomed guests with his opening remark and then presented Franco-Armenian director Jacques Kebadian. He said that the Kebadian is an author and director of documentaries. He has directed the documentary “Sans Retour Possible”, which deals with the survivors of the Armenian Genocide. The documentary aired for two weeks straight in France and left a positive echo within the French community.
In the film “Sans Retour Possible” survivors of the genocide recount their faith as to how they survived the atrocities, followed by the trials and tribulations they faced once they arrived to France and their fight to build a better life and future. All the survivors in the film speak of a wound that has not yet healed. Jacques Kebadian has masterfully edited the film, bringing together both acting and reality into a beautiful work.
At the end of the film screening, Jacques Kebadian answered the questions raised from members of the audience.
Hratch Tokatlian, in his closing remarks, thanked the director, as well as those present.
