Sergei Parajanov. A Visit

The documentary features a meeting between Anatolii Syrykh and Sergei Parajanov in Tbilisi in November 1988. While Syrykh intended to film Parajanov discussing his art, the mood was far from conducive. Parajanov, feeling tired and offended, initially forbids filming, leading to a conversation focused on his life experiences instead.

With a runtime of 12 minutes, this film captures a rare moment where Parajanov reflects on the more difficult periods of his life. It offers a unique insight into the mind of an influential artist, showcasing his struggles rather than his celebrated works. The film stands as a testament to the complexity of Parajanov as both a person and an artist, making it a noteworthy piece for documentary enthusiasts and fans of Parajanov's legacy.
