ANJA'S LONGING, 33min., Taiwan Directed by Elen Ji “If I could live my whole life on my own will, what would it be like?” Anja, a 22-year-old biracial film school undergraduate, imagines her ideal life from birth to death. The perfection of her fantasy starkly contrasts with the incompleteness of her reality, highlighting Anja's deep longing and the story of her life. Get to know the filmmaker: 1. What motivated you to make this film? When I worked as a teaching assistant during my postgraduate studies in the Department of Motion Picture, I encountered a 5-minute doc by college student Anja about her original family. The film was short, but I was deeply touched by the unspoken emotions inside. I wanted to do a film about her, but didn't yet know in what form. Later, I attended a course called "Documentary Production", which required finishing a short doc in one semester. I thought to myself, instead of recording something ongoing, what about recording someone's inner world? Anja came to my mind. I wanted to record Anja's longing. So I developed an idea to shoot Anja's fantasy about her ideal life and invited Anja to play herself in this world. 2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? It takes about nine months. In the first three months, the crew developed the idea, shot the film, and made the rough cut. Then I put the materials aside and turn to prepare my graduation project. It was two years after my graduation that I came back to the materials and re-edited the film. It took another half year to finish the whole work. 3. How would you describe your film in two words!? Authentic & creative. 4. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? Since it was the first time I told a story about another person in a non-fiction way, I needed to tackle the subject more carefully. I tried my best to present Anja's inner world and real life. Meanwhile, I bore in mind that I needed to avoid any possibility of exploiting someone's pain. So, regarding what to tell, how to tell, and where to draw the line are challenges for me. 5. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? The audience feedback is very sincere and insightful, extremely precious to me and the crew members. I was both impressed by their high levels of appreciation and deeply touched by their capacity for empathy. I appreciate that a lot! 6. When did you realize that you wanted to make films? When I was a child, like 5 or 6 years old, my favorite game with my pals was making up stories and acting them out. Now looking back, that "childhood pretend play" is the seed, and it naturally turns into making films. 7. What film have you seen the most in your life? The classic films by world master directors, such as Ingmar Bergman, Andrei Tarkovsky, Krzysztof Kieslowski, David Lean, Ozu Yasujiro, and Abbas Kiarostami. Recently, I've become a fanatic about Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver". 8. What other elements of the festival experience can we and other festivals implement to satisfy you and help you further your filmmaking career? More physical screenings and more audience interaction. 9. You submitted to the festival via FilmFreeway. How has your experiences been working on the festival platform site? As always, it is handy and efficient. However, as the platform expands and thus includes more festivals, you need to make a more careful selection. 10. What is your favorite meal? A daily meal cooked by my mum. She emphasizes the original flavor of the ingredients and knows how to make a nutrition-balanced one. Oh, I missed her cooking since we live in different cities right now. 11. What is next for you? A new film? At the moment, I'm working on my first feature-length script, a story about four women's friendship and their entangled destiny. Hope everything goes well, and it will be made into a film in the near future. —— Subsc

"I want to underline my own belief that art must carry man's craving for the ideal, must be an expression of his reaching out towards it; that art must give man hope and faith. And the more hopeless the world in the artist's version, the more clearly perhaps must we see the ideal that stands in opposition to it—otherwise life would become impossible! Art symbolises the meaning of our existence." ― Andrei Tarkovsky, Sculpting in Time (1986) The Cold War Cinema team is joined by guest Taylor R. Genovese to discuss Andrei Tarkovsky's debut feature film, Ivan's Childhood (1962), a Soviet masterpiece about the Great Patriotic War and prime example of Thaw–era cinema. Taylor R.

His multimodal and transdisciplinary research focuses on Marxism, historical memory, and borderlands.

The Soviet astethetics of Alexander Bogdanov (1873–1928), as articulated in his book Art and the Working Class, which Genovese translated from the Russian in 2022.

We've covered our fair share of recent releases over the past few years, but 2025 has been selective—only Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and John Candy: I Like Me have made the cut so far. So today, we return to another standout from last year. Starring Daniel Day-Lewis in his long-awaited return after seven years away from the screen, and directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis in his debut, Anemone is a meditative exploration of prayer, pain, silence, and reconciliation. At its core, the film traces a fractured father-son relationship shaped by internal suffering, yet still reaching—however distantly—toward hope. Joined by returning guest Tyler, we dive deep into the film's layered influences and ideas: echoes of The Searchers, threads of Greek and Egyptian tragedy, shades of Andrei Tarkovsky, and the meta-text of a real-life father-son duo bringing this story to life. We also explore themes of paternal and fraternal order, the weight of legacy, and the quiet epiphany of fading archetypes. And yes… we ask the important question: does he drink our milkshake (again)?

In this episode, we explore the haunting and deeply personal world of The Mirror, one of the most poetic and unconventional films ever made. Directed by visionary filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, the film blends memory, dreams, newsreel footage, and fragmented narrative to form a cinematic meditation on childhood, war, family, and the passage of time.Rather than following a traditional plot, The Mirror unfolds like a stream of consciousness. Through shifting timelines and recurring imagery, Tarkovsky reconstructs the inner life of a man reflecting on his past—his mother, his upbringing in rural Russia, the trauma of war, and the lingering emotional echoes of memory. The film becomes less a story and more an experience, inviting viewers to piece together meaning through atmosphere, symbolism, and personal reflection.We'll discuss how Tarkovsky's signature visual language—long takes, natural elements like wind, fire, and water, and carefully composed frames—creates a dreamlike space where memory and reality merge. We'll also explore the autobiographical aspects of the film, including the use of poetry by Tarkovsky's father, Arseny Tarkovsky, and how the director transforms personal memory into universal cinema.Join us as we unpack why The Mirror continues to challenge audiences and inspire filmmakers, and how its emotional logic reveals deeper truths about identity, nostalgia, and the fragile nature of memory.______________________________________________________Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

Publicada originalmente en 1961, Solaris se aleja de las historias de exploración espacial convencionales para ofrecer una reflexión radical sobre la ciencia y la incapacidad humana para comprender lo verdaderamente ajeno. La trama sigue al psicólogo Chris Kelvin en su llegada a una estación espacial donde la tripulación sufre trastornos mentales debido a la influencia de un océano inteligente que cubre el planeta. Esta entidad, que no posee células ni órganos, actúa materializando los recuerdos y problemas del pasado de los investigadores, lo que sirve como una metáfora sobre los límites de nuestra percepción y el antropocentrismo del conocimiento. La obra ,que cuenta con una aclamada adaptación cinematográfica de Andrei Tarkovsky, plantea que el universo puede contener fenómenos que, simplemente, no son comprensibles para la mente humana.

In the Season 4 finale, Justin and Chuck trek deep into the Zone to take on Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, a haunting masterpiece that bends time, faith, and reason. They dig into the film's hypnotic rhythm, its shifts from grime to transcendence, and the strange pull of the Room at its center. Along the way, they draw eerie parallels to Annihilation (both book and film), debate the motives of the Stalker, the Writer, and the Professor, and swap stories from the film's grueling production. It's a journey through mud, miracles, and meaning, with a few laughs to keep you from losing your mind in the Zone.

Aw, the Tarkovsky's Tales retrospective has come to an end. Unfortunately, Andrei Tarkovsky did not live much past the release of his final film, 1986's The Sacrifice. He died from cancer as a result of the conditions of the area they film Stalker in. This film eerily enough showcases that he knew his time was […]

Hello everyone! Anders Holmes is here with another solo episode where he reviews the sci fi horror film Event Horizon, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. As it is spooky season with October around the corner and Halloween is on the way, Anders Holmes will be talking about some of his favourite horror films in these solo Anders Reviews episodes. Horrors film that are some of his favourites, films that have made a big impression on him and films that people should check out. Whether they be fans of the genre or not. On this episode, Anders talks about one of his favourite horror films from the 1990s. Event Horizon was released in 1997 and Anders's words, it is the perfect definition of a cult film. Event Horizon may have bombed at the box office and received mostly negative reviews, however over the years it has amassed a large cult following. One of those types of films that found its audience and success later on home video, DVD, Blu-ray and streaming. The film stars Sam Neill, Laurence Fishburne, Jason Isaacs, Sean Pertwee, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, Richard T. Jones and Jack Noseworthy. A script written by Philip Eisner. Event Horizon is best described as a haunted house film set in space. It is set in the not to distant future, 2047 to be exact. Prior to the events of the film, seven years earlier, the starship Event Horizon disappears without a trace. The ship was designed for vast space exploration. It reappears and is orbiting around the planet of Neptune. A rescue salvage crew, the Lewis & Clark, led by Captain Miller (Fishburne) is sent out to rescue the remaining crew members and salvage the ship. Along for the ride is Dr William Weir (Neill) who designed and built the Event Horizon. Upon entering the Event Horizon, do they find the ship empty of its crew and also discover evidence of bloody violence. It slowly becomes evident to our characters, that they are not alone. Wherever the ship has been for the last seven years, it has brought something back with it. It is a race against time for the Lewis & Clark crew to figure out what is going on before they suffer the same fate that befell the Event Horizon crew. Event Horizon takes characteristics of the haunted house genre and mixes it together with the stylings of Ridley Scott's Alien, Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris and Clive Barker's Hellraiser. A film that is fun, entertaining and something you want to watch with a large crowd. Having said that, the production history is much more interesting than the film itself. Event Horizon had a rushed production schedule and was put together quickly. Multiple scenes were cut from the film. Those scenes/moments don't exist anymore and the footage that does exist was badly preserved or of bad VHS quality. Chances of an extended cut from Paul W.S. Anderson are slim, but it is still able to stand on its own.We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more solo episodes from Anders during this year's spooky season.Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Follow us on our Instagram page.Also check us out on Letterboxd too!AndersAdam Hosted on Acast.

Believe it or not, 1979's Stalker is one of the earliest and most requested movies to be discussed on The Brandon Peters Show.

Steven Soderbergh's second release of 2002, after FULL FRONTAL, was another very odd move: a remake of Andrei Tarkovsky's SOLARIS (well, more of a new adaptation of the Stanislaw Lem novel). Underappreciated at the time, Soderbergh's SOLARIS has grown in reputation as one of the great science fiction films of the 2000s - so we brought on a bonafide science fiction expert, Aaron Thorpe, to talk about it! Join us for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about the purpose of science fiction, comprehending the vastness of space, grief, blackness in sci-fi, and OSMOSIS JONES. Don't worry, it's plenty stupid, too.

Hola Gerardo aquí en otro episodio de Simplemente Yo; La selección de esta semana es Mirror, es una película dramática soviética de 1975 dirigida por Andrei Tarkovsky y escrita por Tarkovsky y Aleksandr Misharin. Mirror de Andrei Tarkovski no es solo una película; es un viaje reflexivo al subconsciente personal y colectivo de la Unión Soviética. El episodio analiza el proceso de creación de la película, desde el rechazo inicial del guion hasta su estreno limitado debido a la interferencia política. Con la poesía del padre de Tarkovski y una cinematografía evocadora, Mirror construye una narrativa que explora temas de guerra, familia e identidad, manteniendo un retrato íntimo de los recuerdos y emociones del protagonista. Plot: Un hombre moribundo de cuarenta años recuerda su pasado: su infancia, su madre, la guerra, momentos personales y cosas que hablan de la historia reciente de toda la nación rusa. Espero que lo disfruten ;) Información adicional del podcast: Enlace del website official de Filmic Notion Podcast: https://filmicnotionpod.com/ Enlace a nuestra página de Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/446nl
Hey Reservos! This week we are discussing Andrei Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev (1966). Listen as we breakdown this portrait of an artist weighed down by the influences of his environment, testing his confidence and faith in his work and his ability to see the value of his art. Enjoy!

Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing. This week we discuss 1972's Solaris, directed by Andrei Tarkovsky!

This is a preview of a bonus episode! Find the rest on our increasingly reasonably-priced patreon! ----- Neatly positioned between Transporter 1 and 2 in our release schedule here is a movie that frequently sees mention in conversations about the 'greatest movies ever made': Andrei Tarkovsky's 1966 biographical historical epic 'Andrei Rublev'. Andrei Rublev, since canonised by the eastern orthodox church, was an icon painter who lived in the 1400s near Moscow. Little is known of his actual life, so what Tarkovsky gives us is instead a fictionalised biography set against the backdrop of a realistic 15th-century Russia. ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. We're putting all our energy into this one campaign as we have a real chance to get Ahmed and his family out of Gaza.

In our 3rd part of this retrospective, we kind of begin again. Andrei Tarkovsky considers 1966's Andrei Rublev as his first film post a cinematic graduation of sorts. The 3 hour fictional biopic is one rich with thematics in philosophy, art, history, human nature and so much more. Tarkovsky's notable cinematic language and themes of […]
Kyle was sick last week and ended up watching a lot of very weird, very disturbing media. So he wants to talk about it! Joining him is filmmaker Matthew Warren whose own weird movie Delicate Arch is currently streaming on Screambox. From Adult Swim to Andrei Tarkovsky, if it's weird, it belongs in this episode!
The second installment of Tarkovsky's Tales brings us to Ivan's Childhood. While this is Andrei Tarkovsky's first feature film, it's a film he had inherited from a director that was canned. Nonetheless, this film completely showcases Tarkovsky's known talents, techniques and tropes which will appear throughout the rest of the films we discuss. The global […]

Two things about this series. First, there have been both listeners and guests in the past wanting me to do certain films from iconic Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky.

Probably the most inspired and provocative conversation I've ever had on the nature of time and human creativity.Joining me for this trialogue are Eric Wargo, author of From Nowhere: Artists, Writers, and the Precognitive Imagination (previously on FF episodes 117 and 171), and J.F. Martel, author of Reclaiming Art in The Age of Artifice and co-host (with Phil Ford) of Weird Studies podcast (previously on FF episodes 18, 71, 126, and 214). Our discussion centers on the concept of precognition — the ability to perceive future events — as the mechanism of all human creative activity. Both Eric and J.F. argue that art, like shamanistic practices, acts as a means of accessing and expressing precognitive experiences, often manifesting as seemingly coincidental events or uncanny correspondences between art and reality. We talk about the role of trauma and dissociation in stimulating creative breakthroughs — why there seems to be a direct biological and psychological link between suffering, displacement, and the discovery of radical new insights and modes of being. Can we create without destroying, or are rupture and connection one thing?We also examine how emerging media through the ages have shaped our experience of time. Starting with the earliest Paleolithic artifacts and the role of cave art in facilitating or encoding ecstatic experience, we trace the evolution of art through to how the development “the cut” in modern cinema led to new ideas of causality. Each new medium provides novel ways of thinking about leaps across space and time, and their study offers new points of entry into a unifying philosophy of rupture and discontinuity.Lastly, we explore some of my own most potent and disquieting precognitive experiences in light of Eric's argument that the UFO phenomenon may actually be the braided precognitive experiences of future human beings and symbiotic artificial intelligences — a thesis that sheds new light on everything from the lives and work of Philip K. Dick, Jacques Vallée, Carl Jung, Andrei Tarkovsky, to The Book of Ezekiel.Where we're going, we won't need roads…Speaking of art, UFOs, psychedelic experience, and time machines, here's the standalone music video for the song we discuss in this episode that was inspired by my UFO (or were they time machine) experiences in 2007. I threw it back in as a coda to the episode but in case you want to view it in its original resolution and in the context of the entire album, here you go.

Join Breht, Amanda, and Evan as they delve into Soviet filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky's first feature film, Ivan's Childhood (1962). The episode starts with a lighthearted discussion about dream dinner guests, then moves into a detailed analysis of themes like innocence lost, war trauma, and symbolic elements such as trees and cobwebs. The hosts draw parallels between the film's depiction of war and ongoing humanitarian crises like those in Palestine. Part of their Tarkovsky series, this episode also touches on broader issues like moral responsibility toward children and insights from the guests' personal work.
