Shadows of the Forgotten Ancestors
Set in a remote town in the Carpathians, the film tells of the passionate and romantic love, from early childhood, of Ivan and Marichka. Despite the enmity that eventually pits their families against each other, their love never falters and, when they separate, a star allows them to remember each other.
Sergei Parajanov
Sergei Parajanov (Georgia) was an innovative filmmaker celebrated for his striking visual style and rich imagery. He gained recognition with Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965) and The Color of Pomegranates (1968), both challenging Soviet conventions. Despite frequent imprisonment for his dissent, his legendary status flourished until his death in 1990.
