About this project

UPDATE: Funds still needed. NEW GOAL $2,250. The extra $1,000 will go towards music rights, subtitling, and fees!

Funding will be used to design and publish a new website for the documentary, "Meeting Andrei Tarkovsky". The temporary site can be viewed at www.trakovskyfilm.com

Pledges will be used in this way:

50% will cover graphic design.
30% will pay for technical aspects involved in posting the site (slicing, HTML, publishing).
20% will go towards upkeep and maintenance once the site has been posted.

The film itself explores the legacy of one of Russia's most influential directors, Andrei Tarkovsky. Besides investigating the heritage of this cinematic genius, the documentary ponders a more universal, philosophical idea that was often expressed by Tarkovsky: that death doesn't exist.

Connected as Dmitry Trakovsky (1315 friends)

Dmitry Trakovsky, 26, is a director fascinated by the spiritual possibilities of expression that the language of film offers. His first work, "Meeting Andrei Tarkovsky", received much of its funding from a fledgling Kickstarter in 2009. The movie went on to become an international success, screening at more than 100 venues around the world. Please help the filmmaker begin his second feature-length project, a documentary about Alaska’s Yup’ik people currently titled "Arctic Cross".
