Volcano Sergey Parajanov

January 9, 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sergei Paradzhanov, an outstanding director, creator of the films "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" and "The Color of Pomegranate". His work did not correspond to socialist realism, and he openly criticized Soviet cultural policy. In 1974, Parajanov was sentenced to four years in prison, where he continued to create, drawing and making dolls. He returned to cinema in 1983. In 1989, he began shooting the autobiographical "Confession", but illness did not allow him to finish the film. His passing was perceived as a personal tragedy — he left a deep mark on the destinies of many.
