|||
'''Deanna Casaluce''' (born [[February 7]], [[1986]] in [[ Mississauga]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]]) is a [[Canada|Canadian]] [[actor|actress]] of [[Italian people|Italian]] descent. She is perhaps best known for playing the character [[Alex Nuñez]] on ''[[Degrassi: The Next Generation]]''. She originally auditioned for the parts of both [[Paige Michalchuk]] and [[Ashley Kerwin]]. Three years later, the casting director called her to play the role of Alex. |
|||
'''Sergei Parajanov''' ({{lang-hy|Սարգիս Հովսեփի Փարաջանյան}} ''Sargis Hovsepi Parajanyan''; [[Georgian language|Georgian]]: სერგეი (სერგო) ფარაჯანოვი; {{lang-ru|Сергей Иосифович Параджанов}} ''Sergej Iosifovich Paradzhanov''; also spelled '''Paradzhanov''' or '''Paradjanov''') ([[January 9]], [[1924]] — [[July 20]] [[1990]]) was a [[Soviet]]-[[Armenian people|Armenian]] [[film director]]. He invented his own unparalleled cinematic style having taken inspiration from early works of [[Andrei Tarkovsky]] and [[Pier Paolo Pasolini]]. His oeuvre is extremely poetic, artistic and visionary and is acclaimed worldwide. But as it was highly unfit with principal rules of [[socialist realism]] (the only sanctioned art style in USSR) and his controversial stance and escapades to boot, cinema authorities regularly denied him permission to make films. |
|||
As of season five, Deanna has been given an official starring credit on ''[[Degrassi: The Next Generation|Degrassi]]''. She was a guest star in every episode she appeared in up until season five. Deanna has stated that season seven will be her last season on Degrassi, as she is going to move to [[Los Angeles]] and further her acting career in film. |
|||
Although he started professional film-making in 1954, he later disowned all of his pre-1964 works as "garbage". After directing ''[[Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors]]'' (renamed ''Wild Horses of Fire'' for most foreign distributions) Parajanov had become something of an international celebrity and simultaneously a target for Soviet oppression system. Nearly all of his film projects and plans from 1965-1973 got banned, scrapped or closed by film administration, both local (in [[Kiev]] and [[Yerevan]]) and federal (infamous [[Goskino]]), almost without discussion until he was finally arrested in late 1973 on trumped-up charges of [[rape]], [[homosexuality]] and [[bribery]]. He was imprisoned until 1977, despite plethora of pleas for pardon from various esteemed artists. |
|||
Even after release (he was yet to be arrested for the third and last time in 1982) he was [[persona non grata]] in Soviet cinema. It was not until mid-80's, when political climate started to supple, that he could resume directing. Still, it required help of influential Georgian actor David (Dodo) Abashidze and other friends to have his last feature films green-lighted. |
|||
His health seriously weakened by 4 years in labor camps and 9 months in Tbilisi prison, Parajanov died of [[lung cancer]] in 1990, at the time when, after almost 20 years of suppression, his films were finally again allowed to be featured in foreign film festivals. |
|||
She recently starred in a Lifetime movie, ''[[Devil's Diary (2007 film)| Devil's Diary]]'', alongside Degrassi actress [[Miriam McDonald]] and [[Alexz Johnson]] from ''[[Instant Star]]''. She also had a small role in the 2007 Lifetime Movie "They Come Back". |
|||
==Early life and films== |
|||
He was born to artistically-gifted [[Armenians|Armenian]] parents Iosif Paradjanov and Siranush Bejanova, in [[Tbilisi, Georgia]]. His childhood was filled with beauty and was blessed with having access to art from early age. In 1945, Parajanov traveled to Moscow, enrolled in the directing department at [[VGIK]], one of the oldest and highly respected film schools of [[Europe]], and studied under the tutelage of directors [[Igor Savchenko]] and [[Aleksandr Dovzhenko]]. |
|||
'''She can be seen next in the HBO Web series Hooking Up, premiering October 1st, 2008 at www.hookingupshow.com''' |
|||
In 1950 Parajanov married his first wife, Nigyar Kerimova in [[Moscow]]. She came from a [[Tatar|Muslim Tatar]] family and converted to [[Eastern Orthodox Christianity]] to marry Parajanov, to terrible consequences: she was later murdered by her relatives in retaliation for her conversion. As a result of this tragic event Parajanov left [[Russia]] for Kiev, [[Ukraine]]. There he produced several documentaries (''Dumka'', ''Golden Hands'', |
|||
''Natalia Uzhvy'') and a handful of narrative films based on [[Ukrainians|Ukrainian]] and [[Moldovans|Moldovan]] folktales, such as ''Andriesh'', ''Ukrainian Rhapsody'', and ''Flower on the Stone''. He learned and became fluent in Ukrainian, remarried (Svetlana Ivanovna Sherbatiuk in 1956). She gave him a son (Suren, 1958). |
|||
==Break from Soviet Realism== |

|||
[[Andrey Tarkovsky|Tarkovsky]]'s first film ''[[Ivan's Childhood]]'' had an enormous impact on Parajanov's self-discovery as a filmmaker of genius (later the influence became mutual, they were also close friends). In 1964 he abandoned [[socialist realism]] and directed the poetic ''[[Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors]]'', his first film in which he had complete creative control and which won numerous international awards. Despite the numerous awards it received and its frequent comparison with [[Sergei Eisenstein]]'s ''[[The Battleship Potemkin]]'', Parajanov's |
|||
''Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors'' did not conform to the strict standards of the Soviet board of censors. Unwilling to alter his film, Parajanov was quickly blacklisted. The film became famous worldwide because Parajanov authentically recreated a forgotten world (the story takes place in the wilderness of the Ukrainian [[Carpathians]], which might seem completely alien for ordinary Western audiences). Also, his use of colors, costumes, music and camerawork was essential in both telling a story visually and inspiring the viewer's awe. |

Casaluce is a graduate of the Regional Arts Program at [[Cawthra Park Secondary School]]. As of 2007, Casaluce attends the [[University of Guelph]] in Guelph, Ontario.<ref>[http://www.uoguelph.ca/news/2007/02/u_of_g_student_1.html U of G Student Stars on Degrassi: The Next Generation]</ref> |
|||
Parajanov departed Kiev shortly afterwards for his motherland of [[Armenia]]. In 1968, he embarked on ''[[The Color of Pomegranates|Sayat Nova]]'', a film which many consider to be his crowning achievement, though it was shot under relatively poor conditions and had a very small budget.<ref name=autogenerated2>[http://www.kinema.uwaterloo.ca/hollo961.htm Sergei Parajanov - interview<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Soviet censors intervened once again and immediately banned ''Sayat Nova'' for its allegedly inflammatory content. Parajanov re-edited his footage and renamed the film, ''[[The Color of Pomegranates]]''. It remains his best-known and most emblematic film. There have been few films where soul and high art blend together like in ''Color of Pomegranates''. Few films have had such sublime magic. [[Parajanov]] gave the world a rare film which represents a cinematic insight into the artistic mind. It best justifies critic Alexei Korotyukov's remark: "''Paradjanov made films not about how things are, but how they would have been had he been God."'' |

By December 1973, Soviet authorities grew increasingly suspicious of Parajanov's perceived subversive proclivities (particularly bisexuality) and sentenced him to five years in a hard labor camp in [[Siberia]] for "a rape of a Communist Party member, and the propagation of pornography."<ref name=autogenerated1>"http://www.mig.com.ua/events.php?act=1&cat=1057&eventID=10849</ref> Three days before he was sentenced, [[Andrei Tarkovsky]] wrote a letter to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Ukraine, asserting -”In the last ten years Sergei Paradjanov has made only two films: Shadows of Our Forgotten Ancestors and The Colour of Pomegranates. They have influenced cinema first in the Ukraine, second in this country as a whole, and third - in the world at large? Artistically, there are few people in the entire world who could replace Paradjanov. He is guilty - guilty in his solitude. We are guilty of not thinking of him daily and of failing to discover the significance of a master.” |

Deanna Casaluce (born February 7, 1986 in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian actress of Italian descent. She is perhaps best known for playing the character Alex Nuñez on Degrassi: The Next Generation. She originally auditioned for the parts of both Paige Michalchuk and Ashley Kerwin. Three years later, the casting director called her to play the role of Alex. According to the [[Degrassi]] cast, Being played Alex, Herself and the woman playing Paige according to records of Degrassi they have to play [[lesbians]]. |
|||
As of season five, Deanna has been given an official starring credit on Degrassi. She was a guest star in every episode she appeared in up until season five. Deanna has stated that season seven will be her last season on Degrassi, as she is going to move to Los Angeles and further her acting career in film. |
|||
An eclectic group of artists, filmmakers and activists protested on behalf of Parajanov, but to little avail (among them, [[Yves Saint-Laurent (designer)|Yves Saint Laurent]], [[Françoise Sagan]], [[Jean-Luc Godard]], [[François Truffaut]], [[Luis Buñuel]], [[Federico Fellini]], [[Michelangelo Antonioni]], [[Andrei Tarkovsky]], and [[Mikhail Vartanov]]). Parajanov served four years out of his five year sentence, and later credited his early release to the efforts of the [[France|French]] [[Surrealist]] poet and novelist [[Louis Aragon]], the Russian poet [[Elsa Triolet]] (Aragon's wife), and the American writer [[John Updike]]<ref name=autogenerated2 />. His early release was officiated by [[Leonid Brezhnev]], [[General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union]], presumably as a consequence of the General Secretary's chance meeting with Aragon and Triolet at the [[Bolshoi Theatre]] in Moscow. When asked by the Secretary if he could be of any assistance, Aragon requested the release of Parajanov, which was effected by December of 1977.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> |
|||
While incarcerated Parajanov produced a large number of miniature doll-like sculptures (some of which were lost) and some 800 drawings and collages, many of which were later displayed in [[Yerevan]], where the Parajanov Museum is now permanently located.<ref>[http://www.frieze.com/issue/review/paradjanov_the_magnificent Frieze Magazine | Archive | Paradjanov the Magnificent<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The museum opened in 1991, a year after Parajanov’s death, and hosts more than 200 works as well as furnishings from his home in [[Tbilisi]]. His efforts int he camp were repeatedly compromised by prison guards, who deprived him of materials and called him mad, their cruelty only subsiding after a statement from Moscow admitted "the Director is very talented."<ref name=autogenerated2 /> |
|||
Upon his return from prison to Tbilisi, the close watch of Soviet censors prevented Parajanov from continuing his cinematic pursuits and steered him towards artistic outlets which he had nurtured during his time in prison. He crafted extraordinarily intricate collages, created a large collection of abstract drawings and pursued numerous other avenues of non-cinematic art, sewing more dolls and some whimsical suits. |
|||
She recently starred in a Lifetime movie, Devil's Diary, alongside Degrassi actress Miriam McDonald and Alexz Johnson from Instant Star. She also had a small role in the 2007 Lifetime Movie "They Come Back". |
|||
In February of 1982 Parajanov was once again imprisoned, on charges of bribery, which happened to coincide with his return to Moscow for the premiere of a play commemorating [[Vladimir Vysotsky]] at the [[Taganka Theatre]], and were affected with some degree of trickery. Despite another stiff sentence, he was freed in less than a year with his health seriously weakened.<ref name=autogenerated2 /> By 1984, the slow thaw within the [[Soviet Union]] spurred Parajanov to resume his passion for cinema. With the encouragement of various [[Georgia (country)|Georgian]] intellectuals, he created the multi-award winning ''[[Legend of Suram Fortress]]'' based on the novella by [[Daniel Chonkadze]], his first return to cinema since ''Sayat Nova'' first premiered fifteen years earlier. In 1988 Parajanov made another multi-award winning film, ''[[Ashik Kerib (film)|Ashik Kerib]]'', based on a story by [[Mikhail Lermontov]]. It is the story of a wandering minstrel set in the [[Azeri]] culture. Parajanov dedicated the film to his close friend [[Andrei Tarkovsky]] and "to all the children from the world". |
|||
Casaluce is a graduate of the Regional Arts Program at Cawthra Park Secondary School. As of 2007, Casaluce attends the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario.[1] |
|||
Parajanov then immersed himself in a project that ultimately proved too monumental to withstand his failing health. |
|||
He died of [[cancer]] in [[Yerevan]], [[Armenia]], on [[July 20]] [[1990]], aged 66, leaving his final masterpiece, ''The Confession'' unfinished. It survives in its original negative as ''Paradjanov: The Last Spring'', assembled by his close friend [[Mikhail Vartanov]] in 1992. |
|||
He left behind a book of memoirs, also titled "The Confession". |

Such luminaries as [[Federico Fellini]], [[Tonino Guerra]], [[Francesco Rosi]], [[Alberto Moravia]], [[Giulietta Masina]], [[Marcello Mastroianni]] and [[Bernardo Bertolucci]] were among those who publicly mourned his passing. |

Despite having studied film at prestigious [[VGIK]], he discovered his cinematic genius only after seeing [[Andrei Tarkovsky]]'s dreamlike first film ''[[Ivan's Childhood]]''. Almost all great filmmakers have a limited audience. Parajanov had many admirers of his art but, like in case of [[Orson Welles]] (another unique and very different artist) his unique own vision did not attract many followers. "Whoever tries to imitate me is lost", he reportedly said once. However there are directors like [[Theo Angelopoulos]] and [[Bela Tarr]] who share Parajanov's approach to film as a visual medium opposed to a narrative tool like literature. |

|||
==Quotes== |
|||
"Direction is about truth. It's about God, love and tragedy" |
|||
"Tarkovsky, who was younger than I by ten years, was my teacher and mentor. He was the first in ''Ivan's Childhood'' to use images of dreams and memories to present allegory and metaphor. Tarkovsky helped people decipher the poetic metaphor. By studying Tarkovsky and playing different variations on him, I became stronger myself... I did not know how to do anything and I would not have done anything if there had not been ''Ivan's Childhood.''" |
|||
"He is like a god to me, a god of the aesthetic, master of style, one who created the pathology of an epoch." (on Pasolini) |
|||
"His incredible gift for fantasy is astonishing. But it only goes in one direction -- towards mystification. He possesses a headstrong passion to make his characters larger than life." (on Fellini) |
|||
"Only good can overwhelm the evil" |
|||
"Beauty will save the world" |
|||
"La vie est une fenêtre" |
