Brilliant Soviet Director Andrei Tarkovsky, ordinary person. In his work, many-sided and deep, there was a place for photos. Today, 4 April, the Soviet film Director and screenwriter birthday.

The idea to make a Polaroid of Andrei Tarkovsky picked up from Michelangelo Antonioni in the late 1970s, Italian filmmaker for quite a long time led his visual diary in the form of images. When I have followed in his footsteps and also began to take pictures — family, Sparrow hills, a village near Ryazan where he had a house. If his films — "Stalker", "Solaris", "Andrei Rublev" and others — has become a real classic, the photographer Tarkovsky is well known only to a narrow circle of fans.

Appreciation of talent, Tarkovsky did not disappear even with his premature death in 1986, making the discovery of these photos even more exciting. These pictures were taken in the period between 1979 and 1984, before his death, the famous Director of cancer, presumably, near the site of the filming of "Stalker". Photos shot on a Polaroid captured the last months of the Director in the Soviet Union and the years of work and research, when Tarkovsky filmed in Italy.
