My Perestroika: campus visit

[Dianna Murphy]

Dear Colleagues,

I am glad to hear of the interest in "My Perestroika"!  I hope that many 
of you will come to a screening of the film at the 2012 AATSEEL 
Conference. Robin will be offering a special discounted rate on copies 
of the DVD for AATSEEL members and conference participants.

Information about this film screening, as well as other special events 
at the 2012 AATSEEL Conference, is online at: 
www.aatseel.org/program/special-events/

"My Perestroika" was shown at the Wisconsin Film Festival in Madison 
last year, to a sold-out audience.  We brought a group of Russian 
students; the response was terrific.

Best regards,
Dianna

> Yesterday we had a campus visit by filmmaker Robin Hessman to screen her documentary "My Perestroika" and it went so well that I wanted to encourage others to do the same.  In addition to visiting a class and having lunch with students, she conducted a wonderful Q&A about the film after an evening screening.   Robin was a truly engaging speaker.  If you haven't seen the film yet, try to catch a screening or get it for your library!
