In prep for this I've read the book for the […]

On this episode of the podcast, host Dr Pasquale Iannone is joined by MSc Film Studies student Lauren Thompson to discuss one of the most critically acclaimed and influential films of all time. Andrei Tarkovsky's fourth feature Mirror (1975) weaves together moments in the life of dying poet in a bold, non-linear style. It's a deeply personal cinematic poem about memory, history and family, and 2025 marks its 50th anniversary.Lauren and Pasquale begin by offering their thoughts on Tarkovsky's work more broadly and then they turn to an extended discussion of Mirror, covering elements such as the use of editing and voiceover. The discussion rounds off with a consideration of the film's influence on successive generations of filmmakers, from Christopher Nolan to Claire Denis.
This episode explores the journey of filmmaker Vibeke Løkkeberg, who spent 52 years creating her film, “The Long Road to the Director's Chair,” which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. Past cinema discussed includes Italian Neorealism and Andrei Tarkovsky.Vibeke's film highlights the struggles and achievements of women in the film industry, delving into the ongoing fight for equality in filmmaking, the challenges faced by female directors, and the impact of commercialism on artistic expression. The discussion also explores personal resilience, the significance of authenticity in storytelling, and the lessons learned throughout a lifetime of filmmaking.What Movies Are You Watching?Like, subscribe and follow us on our socials @pastpresentfeature

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.

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.

Rurik Skywalker (Rolo), author of The Slavland Chronicles, invites us into a labyrinth of ideas where politics, metaphysics, and culture collide. With a personal background bridging Russia and the U.S., Rurik critiques societal norms, examines cultural contrasts, and unveils his provocative "convergence theory," positing an eerie unity among global powers behind the façade of conflict. Known for his deep dives into metaphysical topics and political theory, shares insights that challenge conventional thinking and invite readers to explore the world beyond traditional paradigms.From altered states of consciousness to the metaphysics of rebellion, Rurik intertwines mysticism and geopolitics in a way that centers resistance with art forms.Much of the dialogue revolves around Andrei Tarkovsky's film Stalker, a haunting meditation on human longing and transformation. Rurik likens himself to the film's enigmatic guide, the Stalker, leading his readers and listeners into “The Zone,” a metaphysical landscape where hidden truths and forbidden insights await discovery.Stalker is not just a film but a starting point for the conversation to delve into deeper layers of Rurik's controversial philosophies and a must-listen for anyone who seeks to understand this intriguing and controversial writer.Excerpts from Interview:“ The wars are fake, but the massacres are real.”“If you say something that they don't want to hear, they will come after you. They'll come after your friends. They will they will punish you for having the wrong views. And for me, that was the final red pill about America.“This so called civic society doesn't exist. Participative democracy doesn't exist. The power, so called power of the people's will or the media, also a hoax. That's when I realized actually everything is run by gangs of secret transnational special secret police. And that's sort of the core paradigm or the, or the core view that I operate from when I write my blog”“Art can literally send you into an induced, altered state from which, maybe you could actually discover these hidden aspects of reality, hidden sources of power within yourself. This is what we need. We need sources of power. We need this sort of fuel, this mystical fuel.”Time Stamp Highlights* 01:07 | Exploring Stalker and the ZoneHow Tarkovsky's masterpiece shapes Rurik's vision of resistance and discovery.* 06:42 | Cultural Critique of AmericaThe transactional superficiality of Western interactions versus the deep, enduring connections of Russian culture.* 19:23 | Convergence Theory and GeopoliticsRurik on Convergence theory: “THE WARS ARE FAKE, BUT THE MASSACRES ARE REAL.”* 42:24 | Russian Media and PropagandaInsights into navigating the disinformation labyrinth in the digital age.* 01:06:09 | Plato's DystopiaHow Platonic ideals, once heralded as blueprints for order, may serve as tools of elite control.* 01:16:05 | Dionysian Rites and Music as RebellionThe ancient roots of mysticism and its potential to ignite uprisings in the modern world.* 01:18:36 | The Metaphysics of RebellionTapping into altered states to reclaim individual and collective agency.Slavland ChroniclesNote: Sound sample in interview from Edward Artemiev - Meditation (Stalker Movie Soundtrack) 1979 .

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.

They discuss the nature of time, dreamwork, memories from the future, and the four-dimensional brain. Along the way, they discuss figures like Virginia Woolf, Philip K. Dick, Andrei Tarkovsky, Sigmund Freud, and the sculptor, Michael Richards. Eric Wargo has a PhD in anthropology from Emory University and works as a professional science writer and editor in Washington, D.C. He is the author of three books on precognition: "From Nowhere," "Precognitive Dreamwork and the Long Self," and the acclaimed "Time Loops."

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.

The Wiz RECOMMENDS Stalker (1979) As gorgeous as it is deliberate, Andrei Tarkovsky's science fiction masterpiece is a film that shares the same distinction as films like The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Bruxelles: I'm glad I have finally watched it. I enjoyed Stalker. But it's not quite hitting me the way it hits others. Again, Stalker is quite an astonishing looking film. For a film that is considered science fiction, it surely doesn't feel like it. Scenes of the film are in areas that are real, feel realistic, but have a tinge to it that feels foreign. That distinctness Stalker creates gives the film an incredibly uneasy feeling that permeates throughout the entire film. This is also true about Tarkovsky's direction style. The director uses a very slow, pointed means of creating ambience, mood and tension throughout. As the three men go through "The Zone," the film has an unnerving way to make you feel uncomfortable. But honestly, this direction is also why the film leaves me not as in love with the film as most are. As much as I do appreciate the deliberateness of the way the film runs, it does seem to go overboard. At a near 3 hour film, the fact that the average cut of a camera shot is nearly a minute is exasperating at times. Most times, the slow pace adds tension. Others, it confuses. But sometimes, it just leads to tedium. It's why I would have to say that if you are going to watch Stalker, make sure you are well awake for the 3 hour duration. Personally, as much as I was fascinated by the film, I did have to stop twice to get something to drink and wake myself up to finish the film. But Stalker is just one of those films that if you consider yourself a film lover, you must see it. Though I'm not as enamored with the film as some are, it still is a film I'm glad I finally experienced.

In episode 316, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they explore classical symbolism, experience time through cinema, debate whether great adaptations must be faithful, explore the loss of home, fall in love with a memory, debate what constitutes reality, and finally cast their votes on which one is ultimately the better version: the book or the movie!

In 1979, Andrei Tarkovsky released Stalker after years of a seemingly cursed production process. A production that would lead to his untimely death years later. Fast forward over 1,000 years... it's the year 3000 and two best friends, Cameron Linly Robinson and Kemari Bryant, are here to dissect this classic sci-fi film. It's about to get existential.

A promise of sorts is kept this week: our 4th episode ever was on Andrei Tarkovsky's “Stalker”, 80 episodes later we covered another Tarkovsky with “Andrei Rublev”, and after 80 more episodes we are once again returning to the Russian auteur with his Sci-Fi film “Solaris”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as they discuss too much Tarkovsky, unlikable leads, and breaking from the source material. Also, this week Adam recommends “Sunshine” (available to rent on most major platforms), Britt recommends “Jodorowsky's Dune”(available on Max), and Joey recommends “Lars and the Real Girl” (free on Tubi, Kanopy, or Hoopla). You can listen to us on Apple Podcast, Stitcher, Spotify, & Google Play.

Intro/Outro music is “Bouncy Gypsy Beats” by John Bartmann.
We'll explore the intricate details of Tarkovsky's work, his refusal to adhere to genre conventions and the haunting beauty found in unexpected locations. Our exchange will also touch upon the drastic differences "Stalker" showcases from the original novel and how this film transforms into a fantasy-like odyssey. Mike weighs in on Tarkovsky's storytelling approach, emphasizing time and pacing over mechanics, while Diego reflects on the thematic resonance and the spiritual cautions against materialism.Our chat takes a somber turn as we delve into the toxic filming environment that tragically mirrored the bleakness on screen and consider Tarkovsky's own tragically short life. We juxtapose the societal implications of his films against the backdrop of the USSR's industrial progression, and touch on what could have been Tarkovsky's perspectives if he had witnessed events like the Chernobyl disaster.----------Episode Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:09 Protagonist guides through danger, becomes spiritual.10:53 Finding meaning in everyday things.14:16 Visible to invisible danger, stakes are obfuscated.20:21 Tarkovsky's deliberate pacing clashed with Soviet expectations.25:42 Societal confusion, modern world complexity.33:30 Tarkovsky's view on science and Marxism's impact on society.36:09 USSR's view on waste and aesthetics.43:26 Film manipulation creates cynicism towards beauty.45:13 Perceptions of beauty in Russia.54:41 Shift from rapid development to ethical construction.57:10 Chernobyl: amateur mistakes, leadership failure, lack of education.01:01:48 Societal development at the cost of human lives.01:08:11 Science exploring inner mind.01:14:42 Struggle with modern life, yearning for simplicity.01:17:47 Centralized development.01:23:34 Comparison of fantasy and science fiction storytelling (Solaris & LotR.)01:33:49 Creativity is about personal exploration.01:39:12 Stalker demands the viewer's attention.01:43:58 Tarkovsky: Start with "The Mirror" or "Ivan's Childhood," then consider "Stalker."01:47:39 View Solaris before Stalker for context on deep ideas.01:53:14 Nostalgia and time.01:56:55 Chicken nuggets, Debating on next film, and Outro.----------The Cinedicate on InstagramThe Cinedicate's Discord Community Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy I have a double-whammy for you! I'm joined by special guests and fellow writers, Brad Kelly and Kevin Kautzman of the popular biography-philosophy podcast 'Art of Darkness', which focuses on lengthy deep dives into the full lives and dark psychologies of history's greatest artists, whether they be painters, authors, filmmakers, et cetera. With Brad as a published working fiction author and Kevin as a working playwright and director, armed with their encyclopedic brains about the plights of the artist, we get into more Jung and the shadow complex, the catharsis of art and the similarities to religion and mysticism. We also get into demonology and memetics, exploring our inner mythologies through our art, and the dichotomy of the "sell-out" vs the "real artist." As for specific artists that we bring up throughout the chat, we discuss John Lennon, the director of the cult classic 'Solaris' Andrei Tarkovsky, Stanley Kubrick, Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling, Lucille Ball, Dante Alighieri and many more! We hope you dig it. BHA PATREON BHA DISCORD (invite link expires in 7 days from posting but you can find Black Hoodie Alchemy easily on the app) BHA LINKTREE w/ my books and everything!
