Martiros Vartanov

약력

When Tarkovsky inscribed and sent his child's drawing to the imprisoned Paradjanov, who annotated and forwarded it to the blacklisted Vartanov for his newborn son Martiros, his journey in arts began. He escaped to Hollywood and graduated from UCLA where he made his first film, entitled The Last Film, which was released by Criterion. He has also served as a juror and a curator at festivals in Beverly Hills, Busan and DOC LA, and worked on the restoration of the masterpiece The Color of Pomegranates selected for Festival de Cannes.

Parajanov: The Last Spring
Screenplay
Made in wartime and edited in candlelight, Mikhail Vartanov's rarely-seen masterpiece tells about his friendship with the genius Sergei Parajanov who was imprisoned by KGB "at the peak of his artistic power". Vartanov takes us back with the scenes from his censored 1969 film The Color of Armenian Land where Paradjanov is at work on his suppressed chef-d'oeuvre The Color of Pomegranates - widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time - and contrasts it with the shocking request Parajanov sent him in unpublished 1974 letters from the Soviet prisons. Vartanov's camera documents Parajanov's striking last day at work in 1990 during the making of the unfinished Confession. A monumental wordless montage - the entire sixth reel - concludes Vartanov's acclaimed documentary, which, despite the prohibitive conditions it was created in, won the admiration of many of cinema's greatest artists, including Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese.

하얀 바탕 위에 석류가 놓이고, 칼이 놓이고 그 밑으로 핏빛 액체가 번져간다. 남자의 발이 탐스러운 포도를 짓이기면 글씨가 기록된 석판 위로 흥건한 과육이 흐른다.
