Frida Cinema: Ivan's Childhood

Soviet September continues with the darkest days of World War II with Ivan’s Childhood, Andrei Tarkovsky’s mercenary debut feature film and the fourth entry in our Soviet September series.

Adapted from Vladimir Bogomolov’s 1957 short story “Ivan”, Tarkovsky’s film tells the story of 12 year old Ivan Bondarev. Taken in by a Soviet Army outfit on the frontlines

The Frida Cinema is proud to partner with our friends at South East European Film Festival (SEEFest) to present Soviet September, a series of nine acclaimed films representing six decades of cinema from the former Soviet Union (1922 – 1991).
