Sergei Parajanov (1924-1990) was one of the best known directors
of Soviet films. Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, to an Armenian family,
his work reflected the ethnic diversity of the Caucasus where he
was raised. His first major work was Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors
(1964), which earned him an international reputation for its rich
use of costume and color, and its whimsical portrayal of rural
life. Possibly his greatest work, The Color of Pomegranates (1969),
described the life of the Armenian poet Sayat Nova.
