Russian Film Symposium at Reed

[evgenii bershtein]

Understanding Russian Culture through Film

The Mellon Symposium
March 30–April 1, 2007
Psychology 105
Reed College, Portland, Oregon


The symposium presents screenings, discussions, lectures, and scholarly 
panels that focus on trends, patterns, and mechanisms in Russian culture 
as seen through cinema. Participants include renowned Russian 
documentary filmmaker (and Emmy winner) Sergei Miroshnichenko, noted 
film historian Yuri Tsivian (University of Chicago), prominent 
Eisenstein scholar Anne Nesbet (UC Berkeley), and a number of scholars 
of Russian culture from leading liberal arts colleges (Reed, Williams, 
Pomona, Oberlin, and Dartmouth). The symposium intends to facilitate 
interdisciplinary discussion among scholars of Russia who focus on film, 
but approach it with different methodologies and intellectual agendas; 
and to provide the Reed community and general public with a greater 
opportunity to explore Russian film and cultural history. The symposium 
is organized by the Reed Russian department, with funding provided by 
the Mellon Foundation. All events are free and open to the public.
