Andrey Tarkovsky. A Cinema Prayer (2019)

The son of Tarkovsky himself wrote and directed the precious self-account of Tarkovsky, the director's father, throughout the film, and echoed each other with the poems of the poet's grandfather Arseniy, explaining the film poet's philosophy and belief in the face of art and life. The film reveals Tarkovsky's interpretation of some of his works even more rarely, leaving a note for his dream-like image world. Taking the creative process of seven feature films and a short film as the scripture, and the thinking and pursuit of film art as the latitude, eight chapters connect Tarkovsky's artistic creation and growth experience, between the birth and death of personal life, the flow of poetry and spirituality under the lens is as firm and everlasting as a prayer. Apart from the questioning of the truth of life and the meaning of creation, we can also see that the artists are reluctant to part with their hometown. In the eyes of the director, in the stream of time, the figure of my father is always bright. "I look forward to leading the audience to get a glimpse of the source of his creation and share my feelings when I interact with him. He is a great artist, a great man, and my life mentor. He's my father. "── Andre Antakovsky
