Programme

‘What is art? Like a declaration of love: the consciousness of our dependence on each other. A confession. An unconscious act that nonetheless reflects the true meaning of life – love and sacrifice.’ A life sculpturing time with his lens, Andrei Tarkovsky created a synthesis of memories, dreams, and spiritual insights in his poetic cinema to contemplate artistry and reality, exploring the many important philosophical questions about life and existence. Leaving behind only seven feature films, the Russian director had nevertheless opened up the road not taken – the road that leads the searchers to the meaning of art and life. Through this film course, we invite you to go on an expedition from his early short films to features, in search of your own faith, morality, love, sacrifice – and ultimately, redemption.
