Fatih Akin's Intense 'The Cut', To Screen at Venice

As reported by Shipra Gupta at Indiewire, German filmmaker Fatih Akin returns with “The Cut” — a dark survival drama set in the midst of the Armenian Genocide.

“The Cut,” which will premiere in competition at the end of next month at the Venice International Film Festival, tells the story of a young man who is separated from his family via deportation. After learning that his daughters may still be alive, the man goes searching far and wide across the world, in hopes of reuniting with them.
