One hundred years of Sergei Parajanov
Update: 2024-11-25
Description
2024 marks one hundred years since the birth of the great Sergei Parajanov, who turned Soviet cinema on its head in masterpieces like Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors and The Colour of Pomegranates. Persecuted for his experimental artistic approach and queer identity, his work still provokes vital questions about post-Soviet culture.
What exactly does Parajanov mean today? To answer this question, host Sam Goff speaks with Carmen Gray, a critic and programmer specialising in the cinema of eastern Europe and the Caucasus. Read Carmen’s beginner’s guide to Parajanov here and head over to Klassiki to watch Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors and Hakob Hovnatanyan now.
