HOMELANDS: The Romanian Film Festival Seattle, 9th Edition
Sponsored by:
Center for Russian East European and Eurasian Studies
See Details

The University of Pittsburgh's Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies is proud to sponsor the 9th edition of the RFF titled Homelands. This year's festival reflects on current events, while celebrating the power of film to map out new meanings into a world where people have been displaced by wars, economic crises, political instability, and natural disasters. Internationally acclaimed movies featured in a carefully curated selection, covering all forms and genres, as well as film-related events with special guests, will redefine the sense of homeland and belonging, in relation to our families, neighbors, countries of origin, and, by extension, to our planet itself.

Films will be screened online with free tickets provided to Pitt faculty and students. More information to be announced.
