Daniel Bird:
In this World - Sayat Nova Outtakes

Daniel Bird directed The Hamo Bek-Nazarov Project, a film preservation and restoration programme focussed on the South Caucasus, Central Asia and Ukraine. He devised Temple of Cinema #1: Sayat Nova Outtakes, which opened Art Directions at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2019. He produced Parajanov Triptych, a programme of restored short films that have been acquired by Centre Pompidou and MoMA. He has worked with the World Cinema Project, part of the Film Foundation, on restorations of Parajanov's The Colour of Pomegranates, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors and most recently Ardak Amirkulov's The Fall of Otrar. Together with Olena Honcharuk, he recently curated Ukrainian Rhapsody, a retrospective of Parajanov's films in Ukraine at Il Cinema Ritrovato.
