Description
Developed during the “Armenia-Turkey Cinema Platform (ATCP) Project Development Workshop” in Yerevan (July 13–14, 2015), as part of the 12th Golden Apricot Yerevan International Film Festival.
Epistemic Space (2015) a documentary short film developed during the Armenia-Turkey Cinema Platform Project Development Workshop at the Golden Apricot Yerevan International Film Festival. Set in April 2015, the film reflects on a mass march along Istiklal Street, where thousands gathered under the slogan “We are here.” Layering this charged moment with the contested history of Kamp Armen, it traces the presence of Armenian lives in the city. Through this palimpsest of protest, memory, and buried histories, the film constructs an epistemic space evoking the ghosts of past violence while questioning how collective histories are continuously negotiated and made perceptible.

“The screen itself is the cerebral membrane where immediate and direct confrontations take place between the past and the future, the inside and the outside, at a distance impossible to determine, independent of any fixed point.
