Press Release - The Lumiere Brothers Center for Photography presents the exhibition «In the footsteps of «The Sacrifice». In memory of Andrey Tarkovsky». The exhibition is based on photos and interviews made this summer on the Swedish island Gotland, where The Sacrifice, the last Andrey Tarkovsky’s film, was shot 30 years ago.

A special programme of film screenings, lectures and discussions will accompany the exhibition. “Our exhibition is a tribute to one of the greatest directors in the history of Russian cinema 30 years after his death, as well as homage to the Gotlanders who took part in the shooting of the film,” said journalist, photographer and author of the project Victoria Ivleva.

Three decades after The Sacrifice had received the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, photographer Victoria Ivleva (Russia, Moscow) and researcher Ulla Tillgren (Stockholm, Sweden) managed to find the inhabitants of Gotland who worked on the film alongside the film crew: the amateur actor, the embroiderer, the director, the film consultant , the waitresses, the hotel manager, the journalist, the key grip, the cooks, the chimney builder, the cleaning women and the executive producer – all of those who contributed to the success of the film in their way.
