Life and Dreams in the Burgh
Sunday, April 9 at 3:00 pm
You are invited to a free screening of the locally-produced film project Life and Dreams in the Burgh hosted by the film’s creator, former City of Asylum artist-in-residence Tatiana Istomina. Life and Dreams in the Burgh is Tatiana’s experimental film weaving together factual and fictional stories recorded in Pittsburgh. The film conjures up the psychological landscape of the city troubled with social and economic tensions, haunted by memories of its past, and the dreams of possible and impossible futures.
