About This Project
In light of the upcoming centennial commemoration of the September 1922 burning and destruction of Smyrna, the Greek America Foundation is undertaking a fundraising project to support an award-winning film's restoration and the production of a historical documentary film.
This project includes the digital restoration of the award-winning short film "Light Blue and Orange" by Stefanos Sitaras, as well as the production of a short, historical documentary bonus add-on, which will be re-released to film festivals throughout the world and to the general public.
The project also includes a digital memorial scrolling wall that will include names of victims and those who fled as refugees to all corners of the globe.
Donate $100 – Submit the names of your ancestors who were either victims or refugees from Asia Minor. These names will appear in perpetuity on the digital memorial wall on our website.
Donate $250 - Submit a single photograph, along with the names of your ancestors who were either victims or refugees from Asia Minor. This photo and names will appear in perpetuity on our digital memorial wall.
Note: This short documentary will be submitted to film festivals throughout the world and will eventually be available for international distribution. You will receive a complimentary digital copy of this film when available. By making a donation, you give us permission to include the listing you are providing in the film.
