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.
