Parajanov

USSR, 1998, video, color, 60 min.

Drawing on archival footage, fragments of interviews, and scenes from his films, this newly constructed portrait of Sergei Parajanov was composed by the highly accomplished Armenian director Don Askarian (Komitas, Avetik). According to the director's synopsis: "The year is 1989. The place is the film festival in Rotterdam. Farewell at the Hilton Hotel. And Paradjanov says, ‘Help me make Confession.’ I answer, ‘As a child of two fathers, the film will be born a bastard.’"
