Past Russian Film Symposia

The Russian Film Symposia have been held each year in Pittsburgh since 1999 with the exception of 2020 when the global Covid-19 Pandemic resulted in the event being cancelled. Past Russian Film Symposia brought many Russian and East European films, film-makers, critics, and academics the University of Pittsburgh and created a place for debate and academic discussion of these works in particular and the world of Russian and East European films in general.

Explore our past Russian Film Symposia to see photos and videos, to listen to film introductions, responses, and other audio clips, and view the materials that were produced for each years event including posters, flyers, programs, tshirts, gifts, and more. We are very proud of the work that we have done in the past and look forward to a bright future for the Russian Film Symposium.
