Sergei Parajanov: The Rebel

(Sergueï Paradjanov, le rebelle)

  • In Person

A portrait of Sergei Parajanov as a filmmaker, designer, and collage artist, made at the time when he was shooting his last film, Ashik Kerib. Filmed in Tbilisi, Georgia; Yerevan, Armenia; and Paris, this documentary includes archival footage and interviews reflecting upon the artist’s pluralistic view of the Caucasian people and their cultural traditions. Patrick Cazals also considers Parajanov’s successive terms of imprisonment by the Soviet government and the artist’s strength of spirit.
