Across seven features, Andrei Tarkovsky fused philosophy, time and image to chart a course through the landscapes of the human soul and rewrite the language of cinema. From Ivan’s Childhood to The Sacrifice, his films utilised groundbreaking practises and technologies and fought for a new vision of the medium which examined the metaphysical amidst the mundanity of contemporary life and a rapidly modernising world. We’re celebrating this enigmatic genius — one of the most influential directors of all time — in a complete retrospective of his feature films, running from March to May.
“Tarkovsky is for me the greatest, the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream.” – Ingmar Bergman
