Sergei Parajanov was born on January 9, 1924 in Tbilisi, Georgia. He completed his secondary education there before entering the VGIK, the Moscow Institute of Film Studies, where he studied directing under Igor Savchenko. In 1952, he began directing at the Alexander Dovzhenko Studio in kyiv. Before 1963, Parajanov directed four feature films and three short documentaries that went unnoticed. In 1964, his film "The Fire Horses" (Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors) brought him worldwide recognition. Paradoxically, it was from this film that his problems began. In 1965, he began working on "The Kiev Frescoes", a film committed to the war, which was quickly banned by the censors. In 1966, Parajanov was invited to Armenia and began working on "Sayat Nova". After many difficulties, the film was released in 1969 under the title "The Color of Pomegranate." This film is considered his finest work, and it was after this that he was banned from making films for 15 long years. There was a huge difference between official Soviet art and poetic cinema, of which Paradjanov was one of the brilliant representatives. Paradjanov was arrested and imprisoned twice on false charges, in 1974 in Ukraine and in 1982 in Tbilisi. It was during his years in prison that his talent as a visual artist became apparent. "I was forbidden to make films, so I started making collages. Collages are compressed films." At the end of his life, he made two more feature films: "The Legend of the Suram Fortress" and "Ashik Kerib." Sergei Parajanov died in 1990 in Yerevan, where his museum opened in 1991.
