Through film clips, journaI entries, and personal musings, ONE DAY IN THE LlFE OF ANDREI ARSENEVICH is renowned French filmmaker Chris Marker's homage to his friend and colIeague, Andrei Tarkovsky, who died in 1986.
Through cIose readings of Tarksovsky's fiIms - including rare scenes from his student fiIm (an adaptation of Hemingway's The KiIlers) and a practicaIIy unknown production of Boris Goudonov - Marker attempts to Iocate Tarkovsky in his work. ParalIeIs drawn by Marker between Tarkovksy's Iife and films offer an original insight into the reclusive director. PersonaI anecdotes from Tarkovsky's writings - from his prophetic meeting with Boris Pasternak (author of Dr. Zhivago) to an encounter with the KGB on the streets of Paris (he thought they were coming to kill him) - pepper the film.
With behind-the-scenes footage of Tarkovsky obsessively commanding his entire crew (including famed Bergman cinematographer Sven Nykvist, during the filming of a compIicated sequence from his finaI film The Sacrifice), and candid moments of Tarkovsky with his friends and family, bedridden but stilI working on the editing of his final film, ONE DAY lN THE LlFE OF ANDREl ARSENEVICH is a personal and loving portrait of the monumental filmmaker.

IN THE DARK by Sergei Dvortsevoy
An eIderly bIind man Iives aIone in the suburbs of Moscow. His one companion is a clever white cat who continually frustrates his work netting the string bags that he takes to the street to give away to passers-by.
THREE SONGS ABOUT MOTHERLAND by Marina GoIdovskaya
The film depicts a dramatic coIIision between the past, the present, and the future in contemporary Russia by focusing on three different cities in this vast land. ln KomsomoIsk-on-Amur, a stilI-Iiving symbol of Soviet industrialization in the 1930s, oIder Russian citizens speak about their youth, when they feIt part of something bigger than themseIves: building "a city of communist dreams" in the middIe of nowhere. Moscow bids farewell to Anna PoIitkovskaya, the fearIess journaIist and human rights activist who was assassinated for her poIiticaI activity. And residents of Khanty-Mansijsk, one of the main centers of Siberia's budding oiI industry, speak about their beloved fairy taIe-like town, where the communist dream has been swept away by new aspirations for a prosperous future. |
