Sofiko Chiaureli (21 May 1937 – 2 March 2008) starred in Sergei Parajanov‘s 1969 masterpiece Sayat Nova (The Color of Pomegranates). Paradjanov also cast her in all his later films: The Legend of Surami Fortress, Ashik Kerib, and The Confession, which survives as Parajanov: The Last Spring by Mikhail Vartanov. Vartanov’s suppressed 1969 documentary The Color of Armenian Land also features Sofiko Chiaureli whom Paradjanov directs on the set of Sayat Nova. (სოფიკო ჭიაურელი, Софико Чиаурели)
