James Bridges Theater
Melnitz Hall

Film director, documentarian, cameraman, photographer, artist, Vartanov
was a beloved and respected figure in the dissident circles of Soviet
cinematography. A close friend and colleague of directors Sergey
Parajanov, Artavazd Peleshyan, and Gennadi Melkonyan, of international
repute, he directed "Color of Armenian Land" (1968) offering insights
into Parajanov's filming of his masterpiece "Color of Pomegranates"
(1969), he shot Peleshyan's moving natural pastoral "Seasons of the
Year" (1975), and completed his film career with a trilogy of
documentaries in English around the Post-Soviet transition, of which the
final piece is "Parajanov: The Last Spring," in which he presents his
perspective on the director's filming of his incomplete final film
"Confession".

Vartanov's two sons, also active in film, will respond to the work at a
Q&A session.
