A Hawk and A Hacksaw rescore Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (CTBA) S
Dir: Sergei Parajanov Cast: Ivan Mikolajchuk, Larisa Kadochnikova 92 mins, 1964, USSR, Subtitled Sat 3 Dec 20:30
New Mexico's widescreen roving folk duo A Hawk and A Hacksaw (accordionist/drummer Jeremy Barnes and violinist Heather Trost) present a brand new rescore of Soviet director Sergei Parajanov's classic film Shadows Of Forgotten Ancestors. Set high up in the Carpathian mountains, the film tells the age old tale of a peasant's love and loss in a pre-industrial age where magic and ritual are as much a part of existence as back-breaking work and violent family feuds. The colour, grandeur and gut-wrenching romance of A Hawk and A Hacksaw's music is the perfect counterpoint to Parajanov's visionary blend of folklore, sorcery and religious symbolism.
Presented in collaboration with Qu Junktions.
