The Peace of All
We had a great conversation with filmmaker Gary Gananian, historian Dr. Heitor Loureiro, and co-producer Armen Karaoghlanian where we discussed living history as it applies to Armenian resilience, tracing the threads of time through their newly released documentary The Peace Of All. The event was held in collaboration with the Armenian Film Society.
The Peace Of All is a feature documentary about the history of Nagorno Karabakh, also known as Artsakh, its people, and their fight for survival in their historical lands. Covering the Armenian Genocide, the end of the Ottoman Empire, and the fall of the Soviet Union up to the 2020 conflict that changed the region's geography, the film captures the different layers of this conflictual story. Amidst the geopolitics associated with Artsakh, certain themes stand out, such as - the human rights of originary peoples, the effects of war, crimes against humanity, and the impunity of the perpetrators.
Gary Gananian is an independent filmmaker. Working in film production companies since 2010 he has been involved in producing many short films, feature films, music videos, and documentaries. The Peace Of All is his latest work. Gananian studied Social Communication at Santa Monica College in California and completed his studies at ESPM in São Paulo, Brazil.
Heitor Loureiro holds a Ph.D. in History (Unesp) and completed a research internship at Matenadaran in the Republic of Armenia. He is also an Associate Researcher at the Studies and Research on the Middle East (Gepom-Brazil).
Founded in 2015 by husband and wife team Armen and Mary Karaoghlanian, the Armenian Film Society is dedicated to shining a spotlight on all the wonderful contributions Armenians have made in film.
