Pittfilm Travel to Collections Grant (University of Pittsburgh)

 

The University of Pittsburgh's Slavic and East European video and DVD
collection is the leading collection outside of the Russian Federation, with
a holding of more than 6,000 items, including extensive holdings in Russian,
Slovak, and Central Asian cinema.  Online information about the Pitt
collection, which is non-circulating, is available at
http://www.pitt.edu/AFShome/s/l/slavic/public/html/video/.

 

Supported by Pitt's Russian and East European Studies Center (REES), the
Slavic Department, and Film Studies, the 2006-2007 Pittfilm Travel to
Collections Grant solicits applications from scholars with developed
research projects that would benefit from on-site access to this collection.
The selection committee would look favorably on those applications that
include a research presentation as a public lecture. 

 

Travel awards are $ 1000 each, intended to defray costs of domestic airfare,
two nights' lodging, and a modest per diem for three days.  Two scholars
will be chosen in the 2006-2007 competition. 

 

DEADLINE: 15 October 2006.

 

Recipients will be notified by 15 November 2006 and funds must be spent by
30 June 2007.

 

Interested scholars should send an electronic copy of a one-page,
single-spaced project description (including preferred dates and a list of
anticipated research materials in the Pitt collection) to Prof. Vladimir
Padunov at padunov at pitt.edu with the Subject Heading "Pittfilm
Travel-to-Collections Grant."
