On May 22, the Pietermaritzburg-based University film club is showing Andrei Rublev, directed by Andrei Tarkovsky (1966), the final film for this semester.

It is a long film, with an interval for wine and snacks. Dark, sensual, magical, mysterious, powerful – all words used to describe Tarkovsky’s epic recreation of 15th century Russia, seen through the eyes of a monk who was to become a master-painter of icons, Andrei Rublev.

Membership: R100 for entry into all films shown this semester; individual viewings: R15 (R10 students).

Films are shown in the CVA lecture theatre in Ridge Road at 18h00.
