Book discussion with Viktoria Paranyuk
Professor Viktoria Paranyuk will present an illustrated lecture on her book Cinema of Sincerity: Soviet Films and Culture During the Thaw, which addresses the efflorescence of Soviet cinema during what came to be known as the Thaw, a period of relative political softening after the death of Josef Stalin in 1953 and before the Soviet tanks rolled into Prague in August, 1968. The book is an important contribution to the fields of film and media studies and Slavic studies, bringing the work of lesser-known filmmakers and critics who shaped vibrant discourse to the center of postwar cinematic modernity.
All are welcome. Popcorn will be served.
