Screening of Zerkalo by Andréi Tarkovski

We will close the first of these cinema seminars with a screening of Zerkalo (1975), one of the most representative works of the russian filmmaker. Tarkovski is the director with the most defined theoretical vision of time as a means of emotional expression. His essay Sculpting in Time is the inspiration for the name of the 2022 conference.

Zerkalo is not only a masterpiece of cinema, but also constitutes the autobiographical artistic legacy of one of the most influential filmmakers in history. It is a film that delves into the emotional springs and memory – whether faithful or tragic – that define the man behind the artist.
