Join us for a screening of City of Wind at Harris Theater, a hauntingly beautiful drama set in the cold, arid landscape of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. This film follows Ze, a teenage shaman, as he struggles to balance his traditional spiritual role with the modern, chaotic world of adolescence. Between rituals and everyday life, Ze's journey through romance and self-discovery reveals the delicate line between two worlds that coexist in his reality. This film is part of the SCREENSHOT: Asia Film Festival, which takes place September 25-29. All films are free for Pitt students, staff, and faculty with a valid Pitt ID. Registration in advance is requested but not required. For the full schedule of films, please visit screenshot.pitt.edu. *Please Note: Pitt ID holders can reserve tickets by clicking “Promo Code” in the upper right corner of the Harris Theater website and using SCREENSHOT24 as the code. IDs will be checked on entry. Content Warning: Some sexual content

In the 1970s, a new genre of samizdat emerged in the Soviet Union: the dissident conduct manual, covering situations ranging from interrogations to apartment searches to interviews with psychiatrists. They spoke not to the age-old question "What is to be done?," but the existential "How should you conduct yourself?" What did self-respect require? Did interrogation rooms and psychiatric wards demand a distinct code of behaviour, a moral state of exception- or did they merely reproduce everyday Soviet reality in a heightened form?

Marc Fogel, a local Pittsburgh teacher, was sentenced in June 2022 to 14 years in a Russian penal colony for 0.6 ounces of medical marijuana prescribed for a decades-long back injury. This year Mr. Fogel was not included in the 24-person prisoner swap — one of the largest since the end of the Cold War — among the U.S., Russia, Germany and three other Western countries. Yet, since Brittney Griner’s 2022 release on a similar charge, US Senators have joined more than 25,000 signatories calling for Marc’s US recognition as “Wrongfully Detained,” to support negotiations for his Russian release back to his Pittsburgh family.
Join us to hear Ambassador Rubin (President of the American Foreign Service Association; Ambassador to Bulgaria: 2016-2019; Deputy Chief of Mission to the Russian Federation: 2008-2011) comment on Marc’s case. The event includes Max Karpman’s short documentary (Did You Forget Mr. Fogel?), an art exhibit by local artist activists and a panel of Pitt experts on hostage diplomacy: who gets released? At what price? If Brittney Griner was “wrongfully detained,” why not Marc Fogel?
