Sorry-- on account of me- John Morris- this posting is a little out of date. Stay tuned for more info on this channel.


Living the good life in Pittsburgh is the art of keeping your ears open for all the *free* events the universities bring here.

This week, University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Germanic Language and Literature hosts its third Wednesday of avant-garde film from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
A “Communist classic” says Professor Randall Halle of 1932’s “Kuhle Wampe” from Germany—showing TONIGHT. The series is Wednesdays (for a few more weeks) at 7:30pm, at David Lawrence Hall Room 205, 3942 Forbes Avenue, Pitt campus.
