On August 26, on the eve of Russian Cinema Day, in the film club “Fitil” there will be a presentation of the exhibition “House of Tarkovsky. The contours of the Moscow Museum "

The last time at the house on the tongs. Before leaving to the west, 1982

Behind the “contours” the mirror of our usual, in the spirit of Saltykov-Shchedrin is the absurdity and egregious spit in relation to his own culture, and therefore to himself, shines through.

Pit

The idea of ​​creating the Tarkovsky Museum inspired the leading filmmakers back in 1988. Two-story house at the address: 1st Shchipkovsky per., 26, p. 1, was intact.

In 1934, they moved to communal apartment No. 2: father is a poet and translator Arseniy Tarkovsky, mother - editor and corrector Maria Vishnyakova and their children - two -year -old son Andrei and just born daughter Marina. The two -room communal apartment was visited by famous writers, poets, translators, artists. In such an environment, the talent of Andrei Tarkovsky, who lived here for almost 30 years, was formed.

During these years, the first films “skating rink and violin”, “Ivanovo childhood”, the beginning of work on “Passion on Andrey” (“Andrey Rublev”) had to create. Many episodes of the “Shopkovo” childhood became part of the legendary “mirror”. At that time, the spiritual union of the father and son of Tarkovsky, unprecedented in the history of art in their congeniality, developed.

Elek Klimov, Oleg Yankovsky, Rolan Bykov joined the organization of the museum ... But so far they gathered with forces ... The Union of Cinematographers had impaired. The house returned to the Moscow department. They found an investor, he wanted to post his offices, and highlight the “zone” to the museum. Yes, here the "stalker" of the new formation went bankrupt. Around the same times, another beautiful idea was born: to make a museum three -tier: on different floors to place the expositions dedicated to Tarkovsky, his fellow practitioner at VGIK Shukshin and their master Mikhail Romm ...

That time, the building drew ... In 2004, the roof collapsed. The house could still be saved (although the perspicacious Marina Tarkovskaya took the door hand, saying goodbye to the hope of restoration). The house was dismantled, the logs were taken into red Pakhra (they tried to reconstruct the cinematic house of creativity there, but instead they sold it).

But the center of Tarkovsky did not refuse to arrange in Moscow. They dug a large pit under the foundation, which had to be urgently strengthened. Then Yuri Norshtein gave his monetary prize received from the Japanese: the pit was strengthened with concrete. Bella Akhmadulina, Andrei Voznesensky, Ekaterina Maksimova, Gleb Panfilov, Alla Demidova and other representatives of the color of the nation signed letters to different bosses with requests to support-help.

In 2007, the Moscow deputy Yevgeny Bunimovich joined the case, thanks to his patronage, Luzhkov wrote a resolution, they say, to the museum with Kinodec and the cinema hall-to be! And so it went. Officials were at the Radili about an important cultural enterprise and periodically adopted the correct resolutions.

So in July 2008, it was decided to recreate the "Cultural Center" House of Tarkovsky "(Decree of the Government of Moscow No. 586-PP). Dates: 2009-2011.

And the noble undertaking stalled again. Gorin said correctly: “The Russians are harnessed for a long time, but then they don’t go anywhere. They simply harness and straighten, harness and straighten. This is our special way. ”

He arrived in 2012 for the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Tarkovsky to the library named after Eisenstein Sergey Kapkov in front of the cameras vowed: “To be a museum!” An announced a tender for the project. And at the end of 2013 it was discovered that the project was not accepted. But the plan for creating the Tarkovsky cultural center has already been laid down in the city investment program. The construction should be completed in 2016. A responsible employee of the Department of Culture at Echo of Moscow assured that the restoration of the museum would begin next year ...

And the pituitary jet-veteran almost without any restoration to this day was a monument of this-in the spirit of Tarkovsky-a hopeless-mountain enterprise. Around the pit, fenced with a metal mesh, is a variety of garbage and dry branches. But instead of announcing a subbotnik and moving the case from a dead point, at night, as the locals say, dump trucks come to the pit and dump the soil into the pit. It is impossible to get to the bottom of whose order are performed by drivers. But they do not deny that the order was ...

Museum. Context

Of course, the museum is not only walls, but people are not random, selected through the recruiting agency, but experts, initiative professionals.

Five years ago, the Moscow Department of Culture initiated the creation of the department of the “Cultural Center“ Tarkovsky House ”as units of the library of film art named after S.M. Eisenstein. There were several employees in the department. Among them are the director of the director Marina Tarkovskaya. They developed the concept of the future Center “Tarkovsky House”, which implies a museum, research, exhibition, publishing, educational activities. And there was this diverse activity. International interdisciplinary scientific readings “Andrey Tarkovsky. Context". In the small hall of the library, dozens of evenings, thematic shows, lectures on the life and work of Arseny and Andrei Tarkovsky were held. Large anniversary evenings took place in the House of Cinema, in the film club "Eldar". Over the years, previously unknown movie materials managed to identify. Among them are unique artifacts. For example, two amateur films about the filming of the film “Andrei Rublev” (authors - Lazar Lazarev and Pavel Safonov), a material that did not enter the documentary “Three Andrei” (1966, author - Vladilena Musatova). Rare archival materials were purchased (sometimes with their own money) (recently, the first wife of Andrei Tarkovsky Irma Raush gave their archive to the keepers). The creation of film recording continues. Researchers recorded a big interview with Tarkovsky classmates, fellow students and friends of the director, his colleagues. Exhibitions were held.

The next exhibition dedicated to Tarkovsky was supposed to turn around these days during the Moscow Prime Minister festival within the walls of the library. Eisenstein. But the leadership of the library refused the exhibition. Moreover, the employees of the department of the “Cultural Center of Tarkovsky Cultural Center”, together with their leader Kinov expert Vyacheslav Shmyrov, were forced to quit. Even earlier, Marina Tarkovskaya left (she also gathered precious family relics, but she will not give them to a nomadic homeless meeting).

This is another sad plot in the long history of the hypothetical museum. I will not bore you with bureaucratic casuistry. I can only say that the director of the director’s heritage, according to them, was ordered in a month all the materials collected by bit (including photographs and documents) “museumnize”. Which, in essence, is impossible. A consultant from the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts took at least 3-5 months to such meticulous work. So, most likely, the library is not needed by the Tarkovsky department, only a headache from it.

Yes, and the non -existent museum itself is deposited from the department to the department. Recently, for example, they tried to transfer to subordinate the Moscow Cinema network. Have you decided to turn the Tarkovsky House into a branch of a cinema? And then consider the “livestock” of the audience as evidence of success and payback of costs? They were also going to arrange a museum from the experience of Gogol's House. But what exactly the officials have in mind - the secret is inexplicable. Like a restoration of a pit.

Exhibition "House of Tarkovsky. The contours of the Moscow Museum ”will nevertheless open in the film club“ Fitil ”. There you can see rare materials (manuscripts, documents and photographs of Andrei Tarkovsky, dating back to the 60s-the period of work on “Ivanov’s childhood” and “Andrei Rublev”), the first theoretical work (in particular, typewriter with the author’s editing of the “captured time” article), paintings, drawings and photographs belonging to Pavel Safonov (he worked as an artist of the combined combined filming on Andrei Rublev), the picturesque and graphic sketches of the artist Andrea Chrisanti (Nostalgia), the props to the “mirror” and “stalker”, preserved by the faithful artist of the costume of Nelly Fomina ...

That's what I don't understand. Why sign an order about the speedy construction of the museum with one hand, with the other - to give a command to bury a pit, the third - to disperse competent experts? Maybe someone has their own vision of the future museum? What exactly will be built next year at: 1st Shchipkovsky per., 26? Not a unique museum-kunematographic center that attracts fans of Tarkovsky creativity from around the world? Office Center with the Museum Zone? An ordinary recreation center? A network multisetrator, each hall of which will be named after one of the films of Tarkovsky?

I have what a proposal to the organizers of the exhibition. Make one of the exhibits an album in which visitors could write: why do they need this center, how do they see its “contours”?
