*Part- Time Job Opening in NYC*

Red Square Productions is currently seeking someone to work part-time in
educational outreach and distribution for our award-winning documentary
film, My Perestroika.

My Perestroika follows five ordinary Russians living in extraordinary times
– from their sheltered Soviet childhood, to the collapse of the Soviet
Union during their teenage years, to the constantly shifting political
landscape of post-Soviet Russia. Together, these childhood classmates paint
a complex picture of the dreams and disillusionment of those raised behind
the Iron Curtain.

The film had its world Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and went on
to be screened at many international festivals and academic conferences
(including the annual AATSEEL conference in 2012). It was released in
cinemas in over 60 cities in the US and Canada and had its Russian premier
in Moscow last year. My Perestroika aired nationwide on PBS in 2011 and is
a New York Times Critics' Pick.

We need a go-getter who is excited to get a behind-the-scenes look at the
independent film distribution market and is able to coordinate interaction
with academic organizations and community groups. This is a paid part-time
position. A minimum commitment of 3 months is required, 2 days a week.
Candidate should have his/her own laptop.

To apply, please email a cover letter and resume to info at myperestroika.com
