Sergei Parajanov

Sergei Parajanov (January 9, 1924 – July 20, 1990) was a Soviet Armenian film director and artist, renowned for his distinctive visual style and poetic storytelling. Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, he studied at the Moscow State Institute of Cinematography. His masterpieces, including Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965) and The Color of Pomegranates (1969), blend folklore, religious symbolism, and surrealism, profoundly influencing world cinema. However, his creative freedom was suppressed by Soviet authorities, leading to multiple arrests and imprisonment. Despite a troubled career, Parajanov's works were later reevaluated as pioneering examples of film poetry. He died in Yerevan, Armenia, leaving a rich artistic legacy. more

“The practice of translation rests on two presuppositions. The first is that we are all different: we speak different tongues, and see the world in ways that are deeply influenced by the particular features of the tongue that we speak. The second is that we are all the same - that we can share the same broad and narrow kinds of feelings, information, understandings, and so forth. Without both of these suppositions, translation could not exist. Nor could anything we would like to call social life. Translation is another name for the human condition.”
