Tarkovsky on a 2007 Russian stamp

Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-1986)[1] was a Soviet film director, screenwriter and film theorist. He directed several student films, co-directed a documentary, and was the author of numerous screenplays, both for his own films and for those of other directors. He directed two stage plays and one radio production, played minor acting roles in several films, and wrote a book on film theory.

Born in the Soviet Union, Tarkovsky began his career at the State Institute of Cinematography with several student films. In 1956, he directed The Killers, adapted from Ernest Hemingway's short story. His first feature film was 1961's Ivan's Childhood, considered by some to be his most conventional film.[2] In 1972, he directed the science fiction film Solaris, which was a response to what Tarkovsky saw as the "phoniness" of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).[3] Solaris won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. His next film was Mirror (1975). His final film produced in the Soviet Union, Stalker (1979) garnered him the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at Cannes. Tarkovsky left the Soviet Union in 1979 and directed the film Nostalghia and the accompanying documentary Voyage in Time. At the Cannes Film Festival, Nostalghia was awarded the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury but was blocked from receiving the Palme d'Or by Soviet authorities. His last film The Sacrifice (1986) was produced in Sweden, shortly before his death. The film garnered Tarkovsky his second Grand Prix at Cannes.
