YEREVAN, JULY 23, ARMENPRESS: The feature film "Parajanov" was
recognized the best Ukrainian feature film in the Odessa Film

be considered Armenian in Armenia, French in France and Georgian in
Georgia. This is the infinity of Parajanov", - shared his impressions
on the Festival the director and the main actor Serzh Avetikyan with
the Armenpress correspondent. As noted by Serzh Avetikyan, probably
the film will meet diverse audience and would have an interesting
destiny. "Now we should know when "Parajanov" will appear in the
Armenian rent services. I think that the Armenian audience is ready
to watch it", - stated the director of the film.

see Parajanov newly discovered by authors who is beautiful over both
in the film and in life. The film shows happy years of Parajanov in
Kiev and then his arrest in 1973.
