привет. While we can't speak Russian, in the next few weeks, we would like to explore & seek to encounter the Russian culture and traditions through the works of Andrei Tarkovsky. From his films, to even Tarkovsky's diary, we will investigate and critique, as we strive to understand what drove Tarkovsky to create in the ways that he did. Some of Tarkovsky's films we will view include:
The Killers - 1956
Ivan's Childhood - 1962
Mirror - 1975
Stalker - 1979
Voyage in Time - 1982; documentary
...as well as his diary titled, "Time Within Time: The Diaries 1970-1986"
We will begin in following the next weeks, by striving to understand the environment in which Tarkovsky created films. Through using the various books and articles we have been able to compile, we will then become one of his audience members and as we watch our first of Tarkovsky's films, The Killers. As a team, we will progress into movie critics as we evaluate his films.
As college students, we are seeking to have a better understanding, as well as acceptance, of world cinema. We hope other fellow college students will become audience members with us, as we immerse in the works and life of Andrei Tarkovsky.
