This 2008 Russian film is a coming-of-age tale and a love-letter to Soviet life during the 1970s.

"The Vanished Empire" centers on a high-spirited teenage love triangle: best childhood chums fall for the same beautiful girl and are forced to re-evaluate their friendship. As the three partake in teenage discoveries --– sex, drugs, rock and roll –-- the overarching Soviet ideology begins to lose its grip.

Presented as part of the Three Rivers Film Festival. Show times and tickets are available from ProArts Tickets by calling (412) 394-3353.
