Wende-Kino

[Keith Langston]

Dear SEELANG subscribers,

My department is organizing a film festival to commemorate the 20th  
anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 1989 revolutions in  
other Eastern European countries (a little late, I know, but we just  
got the funding....). I have two questions:

1. The proposed German title for the film festival is Wende-Kino  
(which I think can be translated as something like Cinema of the  
Change/Turning Point), but we would like to have a corresponding title  
in Russian or some other Slavic language, preferably along the same  
lines, e.g. X Kino/Kino X. Can anyone suggest a catchy Slavic  
equivalent?

2. Does anyone have suggestions for Slavic/E Eur films to include?  
We're looking for films that would appeal to a reasonably broad  
audience and in which the 1989 revolutions (or their aftermath) play a  
central role.

If you could reply to me off-list at langston at uga.edu, I will post a  
summary in case anyone else is interested.

Thanks,

Keith Langston
