This project is a collection of resources that offers an opportunity to look at Color of Pomegranate (1968) by Sergei Paradjanov, a film about a legenday Armenian Poet in 18th century as a semi-autobiography. Through the research, one can find a significant amount of parallel in between the lives of the subject matter, Sayat Nova and the director Paradjanov as both share undeniably similar ethnic and cultural background as well as the fact that both were creative minds put in exile by authoritative factor, either his religion or oppressive government. It also investigates the political and historical background of this film to suggest Paradjanovs nationalistic aspiration omnipresent throughout not only in this particular film but also in others he created.
