Georgian-Armenian filmmaker who was born in Tbilisi
(Georgia) and died in July 1990, Paradzhanov is
considered as one of the greatest contemporary
filmmakers. He leaves an unfinished but essential work
for Soviet and Russian film history. His work reflects
the ethnic wealth of the Caucasian people. This film was
shot at his strange residence, both workshop and
capharnaum, on the set of his last film «Ashik Kerib», in
Yerevan’s Paradzhanov museum, in Paris and Tbilisi. This
portrait of a fiercely independent artist deals too with
his various talents (painter, decorator, designer…).
Among those interviewed Sergey Paradzhanov, Sofiko
Chiaureli, Eduard Shevardnadze and others.
