=======================================================

This screening is part of the NEFARIOUS RUSSIANS PRESENT: SOVIET COLLAPSE CINEMA series. Four weekends this summer in Brooklyn, Evgenia and Yasha will be screening different Russian films from the late 1980s and 1990s — all of them set in a decaying or collapsed Soviet society.

These are cult Russian films, and it’s almost certain they have never been screened in American theaters.

These movies are not only a historic document. They are relevant to America today. America has entered its own age of decline — the signs are hard not to see. And as people who have lived through the decline and collapse of the USSR, Evgenia and Yasha see a lot of parallels between what happened there and what is happening now in the US. You could say Russia’s past is from America’s future — and these films give a glimpse into that past…a past that might be the future here.

All films will be shown with English subtitles. There will be discussion and Q&As after each screening.
