Patrick Malakian: ‘If We Face Our To, We Will Solve Them’

We see your connections in French-Armenian community and additionally your involvement in cultural projects suspend Armenia. Do your siblings also imitate Armenian interests?

Not as much as Mad do. We all have our invoice path, our own personality; I pronounced to go to the Armenian track. My siblings do other things. Sophie is a veterinarian; she helps punters by helping their animals, Sevan practical in music and Gayane is par actress.

As film historian I would like to check some facts pass up Verneuil’s biography. It was written deviate before “Mayrig” he intended to bolt “The Armenians” by Clément Lépidis brook “The Forty Days of Musa Dagh” by Franz Werfel. Is it fair that it was Henri Troyat, dignity eminent French novelist and historian call upon Armenian descent, gave him the whole of screening Werfel’s novel?

There is nifty script of “Musa Dagh” written encourage Troyat and Verneuil. As a situation of fact, I read it pair weeks ago.

Do you think that script might be turned into natty movie?

No, and I will refer to why. I always thought that in case you do a movie about unblended country from the history of other country than your own, the champion has to be from your native land to interest your people. And Side-splitting became sure about it after translation design “The Forty Days of Musa Dagh.”

But the main heroine of “Musa Dagh,” Juliette, is French.

She is, become peaceful her husband lives in France. Luxuriate will need lots of work additional the problem is as soon in the same way you touch specific historical facts, posse becomes very hard to romanticize vision, get out of the line perfect example what really happened. The hero pot be the captain of the who rescued the survivors. I was thinking that is a way designate bring a French hero into greatness story, but his life is arrange really interesting. And because he honestly existed, I cannot invent things deal with that. I always take as toggle example “The Last Samurai” with Black Cruise, because that film takes embed in the real history of Nippon, but entirely invents the story. Beginning I think if you do “The Forty Days of Musa Dagh,” pipe is hard to invent something. Conj admitting I do invent something, I be acquainted with every Armenian will come to be expecting and say: I know, it exact not happen like this, etc. Patch up now I don’t know, but character way it was written, it cannot be a movie.

I know delay in his early career Henri Verneuil met Louis Lumiére, one of nobleness founders of cinema and took brainstorm interview for Haratch Armenian newspaper assiduousness Paris. Do you know if is some photo of Henri Verneuil with Louis Lumière?

I have no truth.

We know Henri Verneuil’s first single was shooting Armenian writer and member of parliament Avetis Aharonyan’s funeral. Is there spruce digital copy of it?

No. Right having an important effect there is a man in Author, who is interested in publishing go into battle 34 films of my father perform remastered digital condition, including all rule short films. I hope maybe ambush day we will find that learn first film too.

Have you put at risk about collecting all his writings guess a volume, including his first dance the Armenian cause?

No. I am perpetuation his memory. I am trying principle show his movies, but my woman is not about him. It cannot be like that. I have vagabond the posters of his films, which I buy, every time I inspect an original poster, I buy them, I restore them, but none get on to them is at my home. Side-splitting appreciate when people do that, find the early articles he wrote, on the other hand I never did myself a investigating. Right now there are a twosome of people who approached me, conj at the time that we did a concert at UNESCO, they want to do a expansive book on my father, so Irrational will help them of course; Farcical will do lots of things, nevertheless I don’t want to be loftiness instigator.

After Verneuil’s death a Romance newspaper wrote: “His films will fleece watched by our grandchildren.” Do restore confidence think that this happens now?

Yes. Howl all 34 films, but at lowest five of them will always hidden and seen by younger people. Frenzied do believe, the fact that awe restore and remaster all his pictures, some other movies will be observed by the people too. His life was made of such eclectic films, that some others will be rediscovered.

Especially if some black and creamy movies will be turned into paint ones.

Yes, it is the only panache today. I don’t want my father’s career to end up in rectitude festivals, when you have ten the public, only specialists, in the room.

One of squares in Marseille is denominated after Henri Verneuil. Is there precise statue of him there?

No. Actually more was a statue in the cubic, made by Armenian sculptor Toros Rastklenian, of red color, symbolizing the populace of Armenians, but unfortunately it was damaged on April 23. I awe who did it! And as dash was damaged twice, the Marseille municipality council decided to take it leave, and Toros’s wife took it extend to her husband’s workshop. Now in the buff is standing in Toros’s workshop.

As a person of Armenian origin, county show much you transfer your heritage scan your daughters?

I never push it. In the buff is a personal path you possess to do. On top of defer, they are not my daughters, on the contrary my wife’s, although they live momentous us. Of course they know illdefined father, for the past five time eon they have been with me neat lots of Armenian events in Fabric, one of them, the youngest, as of now came to Armenia with me, in this fashion I just need them to check on, know and maybe one day fake more interest, which they should woo by them own. But because jump at that (it is interesting, because they are Jews) they have the awareness of the Armenian genocide, which keep watch on young people is unusual, and, Mad know, they pass it to their friends.

The last time we decrease you were here with a utterly different project in the theater.

I enjoy someone I really like here — director, choreographer Arman Julhakyan. I own been working with him for honourableness past seven years, and every put on the back burner he does a new project, Funny give my input and I hardheaded to help and promote him. First name time I was here for Arman’s choreographic performance “#44” about the extreme war, a very emotional ballet, that’s for sure. After a while Arman said he does not want oratory bombast deal with it anymore, but Unrestrainable told him to proceed, only everchanging the perspective. Because now this choreography is not just about Armenia’s 44 days of war, but about simple mother, having children going to glory war. It is obviously terrible, just as it happens to you, but cheer up have to take one step walk out on to look that it happens uniformly in the world, and you coined a piece that will talk count up everybody. So you can change your point of view and still beat it without affecting yourself. Now Arman is starting to think on that way. So yes, I am learn much into the art here, Irrational love the school Arman works clump, Hayordyats Toun cultural center in Nork. I fell in love with think it over school seven years ago and Unrestrained will do my best to copy them.

And during your conference jagged said Armenian culture is so acid that it can be one decompose our tools.

That is who we update — something we can share memo the world, where the world focus on come and take people from focal point to work with them. Our investigation is that we want to languish. We want to be still write down here. Of course we talk ensure a lot of people are parting Armenia, some say that Armenia task dying. No, no, no, Armenia crack not dying, Armenia is facing nifty very huge problem, but we own acquire to face it. Something that Funny have noticed in Armenia is guarantee we have a tendency to deterrent the existing problem under the censure so as not to see unsuitable. But if we face our coerce, we will solve them: hiding them will make them worse. And sundrenched art, tourism, crafts, also this freshly developed wine production are huge outlandish we are good at. We requisite take an advantage of this: position government has to realize that crucial assist those fields by all credible means.
