Four cinematic treasures from master Russian filmmaker Sergei Paradjanov complete this collection. SHADOWS OF FORGOTTEN ANCESTORS, THE COLOR OF POMEGRANATES, LEGEND OF SURAM FORTRESS, and ASHIK KERIB all create dreamlike experiences, balanced with the harsh realities of Russian history and the charm of its mythology. These films have stunned and inspired other directors over the years. They also put Paradjanov in direct conflict with the authorities, who sent him to the gulag for his creative expression. Each frame of these pictures is a testament to one of cinema's greatest magicians.
