"Parajanov takes you beyond the visible, immerses you where eyes are not needed, where, being part of the soul of things, the spirit, giving birth to forms and images, brings them into the world, into the light – where we open our eyes again." ~~ Garegin Zakoyan, image from "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors"

"Parajanov is a myth-maker. Everything - from the way of his existence in the world to his individual works - are just details of one single myth. The mythmaker creates only once, but throughout his life." Garegin Zakoyan
