Wasserman Cinematheque, Sachar International Center
The release of "The Master and Margarita," adapted from the celebrated Soviet-era novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, has sparked major political controversy in Russia, fueled in part by the film’s open critique of authoritarianism and the director's anti-war and pro-Ukranian stance.
Bulgakov’s famous line, that “every form of power is violence over people” («всякая власть есть насилие над людьми»), resonates as powerfully in today’s Russia as it did in Bulgakov’s USSR.
The screening will be followed by conversation with director Michael Lockshin. Advance registration is required, and a valid university-issued ID is required for admittance. Sponsored by the Russian Studies Program and the Department of Theater Arts.

Brandeis University has "The Three Chapels" and the Muslim Prayer Space. At the time of its founding and building, the University had a very small number of Muslim students, thus no chapel. The chapels are the Jewish BERLIN Chapel, the Protestant HARLAN Chapel and the Catholic BETHLEHEM Chapel.
Situated together, the campus chapels make up one of the most celebrated locations on the campus, a place of spiritual and serene reflection. They continue to stand as testaments to the history, mission and legacy of the University, and to provide a sacred space of religious observance and personal reflection for the entire University community.
Situated in a shady, tree-lined corner of the campus around a heart-shaped reflecting pool, the architecturally placid buildings (architect and designer, Max Abramovitz) and peaceful buildings are designed so that none casts its shadow on another. This, in the philosophical essence, is the message of these buildings and a vision of the University's founders, a unity that inter-religious cooperation and respect can provide for a campus. They are often referred to as a prime example of the mission of Brandeis and the social diversity it encourages.
Over the years, the Chapels have been used for religious services, weddings, funerals and special University events. For more information or to plan an event, contact Center for Spiritual Life:
