This occasional seminar series focuses on the relationship between contemporary cinema and war, repression, genocide, and other traumatic events in Eastern and Western Europe. It seeks to explore the unique shapes that cinema gives to the experiences of loss, victimhood, hope, and reconciliation.

Each seminar consists of two parts, a film screening and a 45-minute paper with discussion. All films will be presented with English-language subtitles.

All welcome, no registration or prior warning necessary.
