A Hawk And A Hacksaw

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 Sergio Paradjanov’s classic film «Shadows Of Forgotten Ancestors» (USSR. 1964. 92min. Subtitled).


S…et high up in the Carpathian mountains, the film tells the age old tale of a peasant’s love and loss in a preindustrial 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 Paradjanov’s visionary blend of folklore, sorcery and religious symbolism.
