Sergei Parajanov

Died in 1990

Sarkis Parajanian, known as Sergei Parajanov, born in Tbilisi in 1924 into an Armenian family of antique dealers, graduated from the Moscow film school and worked for twenty years in Ukraine. Prevented from filming from the end of the sixties, he was sentenced in 1973 to five years in a camp on trumped-up charges and was allowed to resume work only after fifteen years of silence. He made only four works that were entirely his own, two in the sixties and two in the eighties. He died in Yerevan in 1990.
