Russian Film Symposium 2003
Logistics FAQ

Logistics Frequently Asked Questions, Answered

1. Do you have a schedule of the events?

   The Symposium Web site lists all the known times and dates for each screening, discussion, and so on. A compiled listing including all venues and events will be distributed at the symposium.

2. Are the times listed on those pages final?

   As final as we can tell you right now. Any changes will be immediately announced on the Web site.

3. Will you give free passes to any/all of the events? In exchange for talks/movie bootlegs/ice-cream sundaes/assorted Soviet memorabilia?

   Nice try.
   Actually, what kind of memorabilia?

4. What are some hotels where I could stay?

   These are close to the University:
   Holiday Inn, 100 Lytton Avenue, +1 (412) 682-6200.
   Wyndham Garden Hotel, 3454 Forbes Avenue, +1 (412) 683-2040.
   There's also a more comprehensive list.

5. Where can I find maps? driving directions?

   The University of Pittsburgh provides campus maps and directions.

   Driving around Pittsburgh this year is going to be particularly exciting, with construction and road closings. Those driving in from the airport will need to take a detour (PDF) around the Fort Pitt Tunnel, which is undergoing repair. Pittsburgh's loveable Coneman with canine sidekick Caution have more information.

   Wait! What's this I hear about a marathon on Sunday?

   Any visitors arriving in Pittsburgh on Sunday, May 4, 2003 should be aware that many city streets around the university district (Oakland) are closed for this annual mayhem; see street maps and street closing times.

6. How can I contact you?

   Kindly note that because of the large volume of e-mail, we will be unable to respond to questions that are answered elsewhere on this Website.
   You are welcome to e-mail the Symposium Organizers.
