The article reveals a discrepancy in content versus description of Parajanov's 'Andriesh', highlighting archival insights.
The article is devoted to a recent sensational discovery made at VGIK during the digitization of its film archive. The presumably lost short film "Andriesh" by S. Parajanov was found. The viewing of the film revealed an obvious discrepancy between its content and the description given by Rostislav N. Yurenev, a renowned film critic, who attended the presentation of the graduation film, in his memoirs "In Justification of This Life" (Р.Н. Юренев, «В оправдание этой жизни», М., Материк, 2007). The authors of the article attempted to research into the history of this mysterious event based on the available archival documents. Although unable to solve the mystery, they managed to discover a lot of interesting material related to this page of the great director's artistic career.
