Help with Film Series

[Ivan Eubanks]

Armenian filmmaker Sergei Parajanov made four spectacular films: Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, Color of Pomegranates, Legend of the Suram Fortress, and Ahsik Kerib. Georgian director Tengiz Abuladze's Repentance is a good film. And I might also recommend a Kyrgyz film called Descendant of the Snow Leopard (dir., Tolomush Okeyev).

We would like to show films that are accessible to the general public who have little background in the region, but that demonstrate the wide array of ethnicities, religions, languages and/or cross-cultural interactions in this vast territory.
