Gifted Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-1986) is the subject of a commendable retrospective programme at Ballina Arts Centre in Co Mayo this month. The season, which began on Tuesday with Solaris, continues next Tuesday with Tarkovsky's enthralling final film, The Sacrifice. The post-apocalypse Stalkerwill be screened on January 20th, followed by Tarkovsky's supremely stylish, semi-autobiographical Mirroron the 27th.
In addition, there will be secondary school screenings of his intriguing wartime drama, Ivan's Childhood. www.ballinaartscentre.com
