A Russian Film Symposium, featuring recent major films and short independents, is being presented by the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Beehive, from April 30 through May 5.
All events are free and open to the public.
Several films never before screened in the United States will be premiered and discussed in the context of current post-Soviet cinema. The event also will involve Russia's best-read journalists, scholars, and critics. All films will have English subtitles and will be repeated a second time later in the month. Two independent films will be screened at the University's Masonic Temple. Both programs feature the work of Necrorealist director Evgenii Iufit.
