The University of Pittsburgh, in conjunction with Carnegie Museum of Art,
Pittsburgh Filmmakers and the Beehive, will hold the Pittsburgh Russian Film
Symposium from 1 to 6 May 2000. This year's symposium explores the theme
of Nation, Fetish, Identity, through images in cinema. The week begins with
historical reenactment of a Soviet '30s-style May First parade, and
continues with screenings of feature films and student works, and panel
discussions
involving journalists, scholars, and filmmakers from Russia, the US, and the
UK. Director Vadim Abdrashitov and actor Sergei Makovetski will attend.
Panels and small screenings lead by scholars from Russia and America will
address the symposium topic, Nation, Fetish, Identity. Additional

lodging locations and more is available at http://www.rusfilm.pitt.edu.
