Welcome to andreitarkovski.org English language section.
The main purpose of andreitarkovski.org is to
provide a serious and complete info source for Spanish speakers about Andrei
Tarkovski, one of the most important russian filmmakers of the history.
Most of our contents are therefore written in Spanish,
but some of them are though in English. We have arranged them in this page,
so that those who do not understand Spanish well might find them in a easier
way.
Some of the articles and essays above mentioned have
a small introduction in Spanish, but the contents that follow are in English.
In addition, some of the links hereby marked are again written in Spanish,
but we consider the references to DVD or books's titles they provide, might
be of interest as well to our English speakers visitors.
