Cinema Is a Mosaic Made of Time

Il cinema è un mosaico fatto di tempo

Great encounter in Rome with filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky where he develops some of his major ideas on artistic creation and in particular the importance of the temporal dimension in his conception of cinema. Tarkovsky also comments on excerpts from film directors that inspired him like Kurosawa, Buñuel and Antonioni. The "prologue" at the beginning is a quote from Tarkovsky's film Andrei Rublev.
