Open Shelf Films February 13, 2009

Andrei Rublev
Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky
205 mins

Open Shelf Films on Fridays offers screenings of films that have influenced exhibiting artists. February's films are selected by Jonas Burgert. Andrei Tarkovski's 1966 masterpiece about the great 15th century Russian icon painter is a complex and demanding narrative about the responsibility of the artist to participate in history rather than documenting it from a safe distance.
