Sokurov Retrospective

Pushkin House is delighted to present a film programme dedicated to the acclaimed Soviet and Russian filmmaker Alexander Sokurov. Running from 1 to 15 November, this special event features the UK premiere of his most recent work, Fairytale, and offers the opportunity to explore the major facets of his cinematic universe.

Alexander Sokurov’s films are known for their meditative pacing, rich visual language, and exploration of existential themes. Often compared to his mentor, Andrei Tarkovsky, Sokurov has developed a rich tradition of spiritual and philosophical inquiry in cinema, creating a substantial body of work that delves into history, memory, love, war, and the human condition.
