See this touching account of the lives and passion of two influential filmmakers
Italian artist Yervant Gianikian returns to Tate Modern following a 2011 film retrospective to present the UK premiere of a new feature film exploring the diaries of his late wife and artistic collaborator, Angela Ricci Lucchi. Over the last five decades the couple have pioneered new forms of artistic and cinematic representation to engage with unwritten histories of the twentieth century, exploring the spectres of war, social inequality, colonialism and environmental disaster.
Angela’s Diaries offers a very personal look at the couple’s working process and life, which were so intricately bound. Filled with drawings, watercolours and written memories, Angela's diary entries chronicle everything from their regular activities – cooking, gardening, making wine, painting, writing, reading – to their research in film archives and their journeys to Armenia after the 1988 earthquake, to Moscow after the collapse of the Soviet Union and to Bosnia and Herzegovina moments after the end of the Bosnian War, among many others.

Yervant Gianikian, Angela Ricci Lucchi // The Arrow of Time
Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi visited the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980s. It was during the closing years of the Soviet Empire, and the words on everyone’s lips were glasnost and perestroika. They wanted to gather the memories of the cinematographic literary and artistic Russian avant-garde of the ’20s and ’30s, seeking out survivors and listening to their life stories.
They both had the habit of filling up notebooks with thoughts, drawings, notes and recipes: a hotchpotch which reflects their own way of working.
The volume features a selection of pages from these notebooks, reproduced here for the first time, thus providing us with access to the very source of their inspirations. Essays by Corinne Diserens and Eva Fabbris follow, along with an interview by Andrea Lissoni examining the work of two of the most important artists and filmmakers on the contemporary scene.
Yervant Gianikian (Merano, 1942) and Angela Ricci Lucchi (Lugo di Romagna, 1942). Since 1975 their research has united experimental filmmaking with archive theory. After their initial ‘scented films’, their interest turned to found footage concerning the most dramatic vicissitudes of recent historical events. Through their ‘an
