I Am Armenian: The Color of Pomegranates
Tuesday, Dec. 15, 7:30 p.m. | Hammer Museum
Restored by Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation, this masterpiece is a can’t-miss for students of film. Its director graduated from the Soviet Russian All-Union State Institute of Cinematography in Moscow in 1951, but during the film’s original release was jailed courtesy of Soviet authorities. A chronicle of the life of Sayat Nova, the revered Armenian troubadour, it is no standard biopic but instead a cinematic poem. (1968, Dir. Sergei Parajanov, 88 min.)
