reverse shot : online : spring 2004 The text of the film, the poetry of Sayat Nova, and the life of director Sergei Parajanov are all reflections of the Armenian national identity, which is itself deeply connected to the Christian faith, as they were the first “nation” in the world to adopt the religion, in the year 301. Born Haroutiun Sayakian, he is remembered as Sayat Nova or “king of songs.” Raised in the Georgian city of Tiflis (as was Sergei Parajanov himself), Sayat Nova performed in the Armenian, Azerbaijani, and Persian languages. Parajanov knew that he would be condemned for his films, but he was willing to sacrifice his safety to realize on film the traditions and beauty of his people. www.reverseshot.com /spring04/color.html   (1351 words)

Sergei Parajanov - interview Sergei Parajanov died on 20 July 1990 at the age of 66 in Yerevan, where he is buried.

Domain of Culture - Cultural Events Parajanov's "Sayat Nova" or "The colour of pomegranates" at Athens' Trianon Filmcenter Its influence was even compared to that of Sergei Eisentein's "The Battleship Potemkin." The still camera, the absence of dialogues, the images that look like banners and are notionally self-reliant: all these are connected in a unique way with the 8 parts of the film, which in their turn are connected to Nova's poems. Parajanov's symbolic-poetic film was not an exception and, of course, didn't avoid the censorship (Parajanov had originally to change the title, while later the Russian authorities called director Yutkevich to make it more "appropriate"). www.cultureguide.gr /events/details.jsp?Event_id=44099&catA=3   (504 words)

Blogrel » Only Good Can Overcome Evil After Sergei Parajanov was mentioned in a recent comment by a reader, I discovered that Arevhat Grigoryan’s research on the late, great artist and film-maker was published by the Caucasus School of Journalism and Media Management’s newspaper, the Brosse Street Journal in January. Parajanov was born in the Georgian capital in 1924 and like another great Armenian cultural icon, Sayat Nova, crossed ethnic divides and fault lines in the Caucasus. I guess I have to thank Hagop for mentioning Parajanov as although I had seen Color of Pomegranates, which is in Armenian, I hadn’t seen Ashik Kerib or Legend of Suram Fortress which I bought today. www.blogrel.com /2005/05/08/only-good-can-overcome-evil   (1130 words)
