BFI Southbank

BFI Southbank will host a season of Sergei Paradjanov’s films that will include his acclaimed features, short films and a number of documentaries about his life and work by renowned filmmakers from Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany. Some of the screenings will be followed by Q&A sessions with friends, collaborators and experts.

The BFI Gallery has commissioned contemporary artist Mat Collishaw to produce a new moving image installation inspired by the work and life of Sergei Paradjanov.

A symposium on Sergei Paradjanov’s legacy will bring together experts and scholars from around the world to discuss his work and the importance of his filmmaking in artistic, social and political contexts.

A workshop for children and adults will give a hands-on experience of creating artwork à la Paradjanov. Leading tutors in fashion and art will give demonstrations and encourage people to make collages, dolls, puppets, costumes and drawings, making it an exciting way to spend a day with family and friends.
