YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 29, ARMENPRESS. “Houses Without Doors” movie by Syrian-Armenian filmmaker Avo Kaprealian was one of the two wins for the Best International Documentary award in the 34th Torino Film Festival, reports Asbarez.

“Out of an impossible situation, he shows what is impossible to show – from the balcony of his family’s home he looks at the whole world. He makes us feel that Syrian and Armenian people are all humanity and makes us trust in the tools of cinema to help humanity to exist and resist in all times,” the jury saying as quoted by Asbarez.

The movie tells about the story of an Armenian family amid clashes in Aleppo's Armenian-populated Nor Gyugh (New Village) district. The movie was shot from the balcony of Kaprealian's home and shows the hardships of the civil war.

Parallels were drawn between the Armenian Genocide and the current sufferings of the Syrian people.
