Gone is Nowhere – film, performance og talk

Based on the Armenian Genocide and Danish humanitarian Karen Jeppe’s extensive work to rescue thousands of captured Armenian refugees, mainly women and children in the early 20th century, the horrors of the past are revealed in flashes. ‘Gone is Nowhere’ emphasizes how the complex and elongated nature of refuge, in the face of the cyclical dynamics of human experience, can never be confined to one time, but will continue to affect present and future generations. During CPH:DOX, the film ‘Goneis Nowhere’ will be presented framed by a live performance with the film’s directors and performers, musicians Katinka Fogh Vindelev (soprano) and Louise Gorm (violinist). In addition, Armenian documentary filmmaker and photographer Nazik Armenakyan has been invited to participate in a post-screening talk with Katinka and Louise and others. Over a ten-year period (2005-2015), Nazik has documented and portrayed the last survivors of the Armenian Genocide in the photo series ‘SURVIVORS’.
