Shadows of the Orient

Sergei Parajanov
Sergei Parajanov( sometimes spelled Paradzhanov or Paradjanov; January 9, 1924 – July 20, 1990) was a Soviet film director and artist of Armenian descent who made significant contributions to Soviet cinematography through Ukrainian, Georgian, and Armenian cinema.
He invented his own cinematic style, which was totally out of step with the guiding principles of socialist realism( the only sanctioned art style in the USSR).
This, combined with his controversial lifestyle and behaviour, led Soviet authorities to repeatedly persecute and imprison him, and suppress his films.
Although he started professional film- making in 1954, Parajanov later disowned all the films he made before 1965 as" garbage".
After directing" Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors"( renamed" Wild Horses of Fire" for most foreign distributions)
Parajanov became something of an international celebrity and simultaneously a target of attacks from the system.
Nearly all of his film projects and plans from 1965 to 1973 were banned, scrapped or closed by the Soviet film administrations, both local( in Kiev and Yerevan) and federal( Goskino), almost without discussion, until he was finally arrested in late 1973 on charges of rape, homosexuality and bribery.
He was imprisoned until 1977, despite a pleas for pardon from various artists.
Even after his release( he was arrested for the third and last time in 1982) he was a" persona non grata" in Soviet cinema.
It was not until the mid-1980s, when the political climate started to relax, that he could resume directing.
Still, it required the help of influential Georgian actor Dodo Abashidze and other friends to have his last feature films greenlighted.
His health seriously weakened by four years in labor camps and nine months in prison in Tbilisi, Parajanov died of lung cancer in 1990, at a time when, after almost 20 years of suppression, his films were being featured at foreign film festivals.
In January 1988, he said in an interview," Everyone knows that I have three Motherlands.
I was born in Georgia, worked in Ukraine and I'm going to die in Armenia."
Sergei Parajanov is buried at Komitas Pantheon in Yerevan.
Parajanov's films won prizes at Mar del Plata Film Festival, Istanbul International Film Festival, Nika Awards, Rotterdam International Film Festival, Sitges- Catalan International Film Festival, São Paulo International Film Festival and others.

Antareen( The Confined) is a 1993 Indian film in Bengali language, directed by Mrinal Sen, based on a story named" Badshahat Ka Khatimah"( 1950) by Saadat Hasan Manto( but with a different ending in the screenplay).
It stars Anjan Dutt and Dimple Kapadia.
" Antareen" was the first non-Hindi project Kapadia took part in since" Vikram"( 1986).

Insisting on playing her part spontaneously, Kapadia refused to enroll in a crash- course in Bengali as she wrongly felt that she would be able to speak it convincingly.

At the 1993 National Film Award, it was awarded the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Bengali.
