Animation exhibition opened at Sergei Parajanov`s Museum to mark his  102nd birthday anniversary

ArmInfo.  To mark the 102nd birthday of the brilliant director, screenwriter, artist, and collage artist Sergei Parajanov, an animation exhibition, "Films and  Celebrities," has opened at his Museum.

As part of the exhibition, fascinating stories featuring Parajanov  and his distinguished contemporaries- Andrei Tarkovsky, Yves Saint  Laurent, Madame de Gaulle, Marcello Mastroianni, and others-are being  shown on large screens at the Museum. Some of these stories were  previously unknown to the general public.

Specifically, Parajanov and famous figures are featured on the first  floor, while his films and Parajanov's story dedicated to the Mona  Lisa are on the second floor. As Museum Director Anahit Mikaelyan  noted, this exhibition format will be maintained, and the animated  films will be continually updated, providing an opportunity to  rediscover Sergei Parajanov-both as an artist and as a person.

According to the press service of the Ministry of Education, Science,  Culture, and Sports, today the Museum also hosted the presentation of  Kora Tsereteli's (Georgian film scholar, critic, and screenwriter)  book, "Collage Against the Background of a Self-Portrait," which  contains memories of Sergei Parajanov.
