Zvyagintsev won the Golden Lion for his film debut at the Venice Film Festival, as did Tarkovsky before him with his debut Ivan’s Childhood. Screened as part of the Andrei Tarkovsky film programme.

Andrei Tarkovsky
With associative films rich in imagery, such as Andrei Rublev (1966), Solaris (1972), The Mirror (1974) and especially Stalker (1979), Andrei Tarkovsky (1932‒1986) made his name as a leading innovator of the language of cinema. This autumn, Eye presents an exhibition and film programme devoted to the celebrated filmmaker and mystic, focusing specifically on Tarkovsky’s quest for existential truth.
