Directed by Chris Marker
Marker pays tribute to two giants of Russian cinema—Andrei Tarkovsky and Soviet director Aleksandr Medvedkin—in this shorts program. In French with English subtitles.
One Day in the Life of Andrei Aresenevich (2000)
Run time: 55min
This incredibly poignant and perceptive portrait of Andrei Tarkovsky—which includes footage of the revered director completing his last film and on his deathbed—is “the most sustained and heartfelt tribute one filmmaker has paid another” (J. Hoberman).
The Train Rolls On (1971)
Run time: 32min
Marker pays homage to one of his favorite filmmakers, Aleksandr Medvedkin (subject of The Last Bolshevik), and his “cine train,” a traveling film studio that ventured to the farthest reaches of the Soviet Union to document the lives of ordinary people.
