Ground Operations
Ground Operations (2004)

Themes Documentary films about war, Documentary films about historical events, Political films

Ground Operations follows the story of combat veterans who operated in the armed forces, and served in Iraq and Afghanistan. This documentary goes through each individual’s story from joining their respective branches, to how the war has changed them personally. It also follows each person's story as they transition to civilian life, and struggle with a highly flawed Department of Veterans Affairs. This leads them all unknowingly to the world of organic farming, which helps them heal from their traumatic emotional scars. The farming serves as a duel purpose to fix a damaged agricultural system, and helps calm the PTSD exacerbated by War Traumas, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

An autobiographical documentary film that goes beyond the barriers of the genre and is something between videoart, experimental film and home video and seeks to throw light on the consequences of the Armenian Genocide of 1915, which forced the director´s family to emigrate to France. In the spirit of Bertolt Brecht´s theory of art and distanciation, Khazarian frees himself from reality, combining in the film amateur films about his own family and contemporary footage from the battlefield in Nagorno-Karabakh. His film is not a recapitulation of historical fact, but rather a visual meditation on the fetishist aesthetics of war, diverse sexual orientations and the consequences of emigration. The film deals with topics such as war, destruction and sexuality, which, in the director´s view are indissolubly linked.
