Meeting Andrei Tarkovsky

Given the huge audience of "Blog by Blake," I'm under a constant barrage of requests to plug people's projects via the site. Usually I just respond to the emails with the standard, "While I do think your ________ is interesting, I don't think the content corresponds fully with the spirit of a Blog by Blake and thus....." or something like that. Until now.

Last year UC Santa Cruz alum Dmitry Trakovsky traveled to Sweden, Italy, and Russia in a search for the legacy of Russian film god Andrei Tarkovsky. His journey is documented in "Meeting Andrei Tarkovsky," a film that takes a penetrating look at the life, death, and what remains of the mythic Russian director.


Come meet Dmitry and watch his film, either at:

the Sao Paulo International Film Festival, from October 17-30th in Brazil.

or at the 22nd Leeds International Film Festival, from November 7-8th in the UK.
