Serj Tankian is composing the music to 1915 The Movie, a new film
about the Armenian Genocide.
“Grammy Award winning musician Serj Tankian is composing a hauntingly
beautiful original score for 1915 The Movie. Internationally celebrated
as the frontman for System of a Down, and for his symphonies Elect the
Dead and Orca, Tankian will be making his feature film debut as the
composer of 1915,” reads a post on the movie’s official Facebook page.
“1915 is an incredible feature film full of rich trauma, profundity,
suspense, and some magic all while remaining picturesque and modern
— a rarity in today’s films. I am relishing in creating the musical
world for it,” Serj Tankian says.
A mind-bending psychological thriller set against one of the most
terrifying events of modern history, 1915 The Movie follows one man’s
controversial mission to bring the ghosts of a forgotten genocide
back to life.
