Parajanov: The Last Spring
Armenia/U.S., 1992
An intimate look at the final days of Sergei Parajanov, this documentary captures the director working on his last, ultimately unrealized autobiographical film The Confession. Made by Parajanov’s close friend Mikhail Vartanov and edited by candlelight during Armenia’s wartime blockade, this touching tribute from one persecuted artist to another features behind-the-scenes footage of Parajanov shooting The Color of Pomegranates, the filmmaker’s prison art as well as a tour of his teeming Tbilisi home (now the Sergei Parajanov Museum).
DCP, color, in Russian, Armenian, Ukrainian, Georgian and English with English subtitles, 60 min. Director: Mikhail Vartanov. Screenwriters: Martiros Vartaniants, Mikhail Vartanov. With: Sergei Parajanov, Mikhail Vartanov, Aleksandr Kaydanovskiy, Leila Alibegashvilli.
Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive in collaboration with the Parajanov-Vartanov Institute.
