Toronto-based sales outfit Syndicado has boarded “The Black Garden,” which will have its world premiere in the main competition section at documentary festival CPH:DOX. The film focuses on children Samvel and Avo, soldier Erik and lumberjack and veteran Karen, who live in the Armenian community of Talish, in Nagorno-Karabakh, a region plagued by a century-old conflict. “A large part of the film takes place in Armenia since most of my characters are exiled today, but I also made their homeland exist by going back to Nagorno-Karabakh: what is left of it, the desolate and disfigured landscapes, its lost souls like that of Karen, who is a refugee in Stepanakert.
