In 'Passions on Andrei' Tarkovsky depicts the situation of a man in the world. The film maker is convinced that a man is a source of destructive and creative forces of being. A source of evil in each person is revealed in its aspiration to isolation and domination over environmental world and other people. But a human being is also a source of similarly powerful good forces which are capable to change the world, to make it better and harmonious. Tarkovsky considers that the most important of these forces is love. The highest example of love is life of Jesus Christ who sacrifices himself for the sake of all people - and love can change the world only in the act of self-sacrifice. In 'Stalker' Tarkovsky suggests that there is a possibility of relations between people that differ from those dominating our civilization. Three people - Stalker, Writer and Professor - go through the Zone, a mysterious place visited once by strangers from outer space, with the purpose of visiting 'room of desires' which is the place where most cherished desires come true. We understand that Stalker leads people in Zone to find among them a person who is capable to become his 'disciple', to become a stalker as he is, to reconstruct relations with the world. As a result of their 'trip' Writer realizes the meaning of Zone for one's life. He is ready to reject independent 'I' and submit to being for its saving, for averting world apocalypse. In the artistic world of late films of Tarkovsky Writer is 'new' Jesus Christ.

The article discusses autobiographical plots of the movie 'The Mirror' by Andrei Tarkovski. The autobiographism is here the starting-point to contemplate the world and the presence of a man in it. The autobiographical situation may be understood as the submersion in temporality and spatiality of the world in order to establish - with the help of cultural act of self-reading - the category of individual life ('bios') and transcend it in the pursuit of universal life (eternity). According to creative philosophy of the Russian director, the real life has its sense and source in eternity. Tarkovski's film perpetuates time as life; time by the matter of the art transforms into eternal memory. Tarkovski's movie art appears therefore as an attempt of portraying and overcoming the conflict between the spiritual and historical worlds. The article points to a connection of Tarkovski's artistic search and his conception of the art together with philosophic and religious reflection of Russian thinkers such as Pavel Florensky or Nikolai Berdyaev.

The topic of the presentation is an analysis of the specific perception of Europe by two great artists from the East: Andrei Tarkovski (Nostalgia 1983) and Tadeusz Kantor (Wielopole, Wielopole, 1980, a theatrical spectacle staged as part of the Florentine programme at Teatro Regionale Toscano, Florence). The motif of the return home is inscribed into the Italian cultural landscape and experiences. The next problem is the inclusion of local, own cultural tradition into the universal entity. Both works share the motif of coming back home, nostalgia, the experiencing of the province, an epiphany of poor reality, and the significance of 'lowest rank regions'. Analysing the structure of those motifs and imagery as well as their concurrence with the essence of the symbol (a confirmation of identity, a token) the author considers the message contained in both visions - cinematic and theatrical - and its meaning for the contemporary European dialogue. This is a meaning concurrent with the ideas of an anthropological-cultural and European insight, aimed at searching for, and discovering unity in diversity.
