SUMMARY:Whiskey and Weavers: Scotch Whiskey Tasting and Tannahill Weavers Concert Film
DESCRIPTION:An afternoon of great music and fine spirits is in store at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center Sunday\, May 5 with Whiskey and Weavers. The screening of a live concert film featuring the Tannahill Weavers (recorded at the Greater Pittsburgh Masonic Center in October 2023) will be preceded by a Scotch whiskey tasting to benefit the Balmoral Classic: U.S. Junior Solo Piping & Drumming Championships\, an annual event held in Pittsburgh each fall. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Scotland’s Tannahill Weavers play acoustic instruments\, but the atmosphere at their shows is electric\,” says the Boston Globe. “The quintet is as tight and as versatile as any band in the Celtic music revival. They can summon rock ‘n’ roll intensity or haunting introspection.” \n\n\n\nThe event is presented in partnership with Pittsburgh’s Balmoral School of Piping & Drumming. The Scotch tasting begins at 2 p.m. and the film at 3 p.m. Tickets are available for the film alone\, or for both events.  \n\n\n\nBorn of a session in Paisley\, Scotland\, and named for the town’s historic weaving industry and local poet laureate Robert Tannahill\, the Tannahill Weavers are internationally known for their unique take on Celtic music\, blending beautiful traditional melodies with powerful modern rhythms. \n\n\n\nTheir diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals\, topical songs\, original ballads and lullabies\, and humorous tales of life in Scotland. From reflective ballads to foot-stomping reels and jigs\, the variety and range of the material they perform is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Weavers concert at the Pittsburgh Masonic Center “was a highlight of our year\,” says Balmoral executive director George Balderose. “The May 5 screening is a great way to share that experience and spread awareness of traditional Scottish music to the community.”

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Moving Picture Festival: Double Feature Competitions & Dawn of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:Double Feature Tickets\n\n\n\nDawn of the Dead Tickets\n\n\n\n\nA 45th anniversary screening of George Romero’s classic zombie film Dawn of the Dead\, along with the Double Feature: Trailer Bash and Raging Pages trailer and screenplay competitions\, will highlight the Pittsburgh Moving Picture Festival\, set for Sunday\, May 19\, at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center. \n\n\n\nA celebration of the art of cinema and the region’s rich motion picture tradition\, the event also includes a Q&A with actors from Dawn of the Dead\, filmed at the Monroeville Mall and considered one of the most influential horror films of all time.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe afternoon begins at 12:30 p.m. with the Double Feature trailer and screenplay competitions\, a curated program of Official Selections of coming attractions\, all of which are eligible to earn one of the premiere trailer trophies on the festival circuit—the “Tabby”—for Best Editing\, Best Cinematography\, Best Score\, overall Best Trailer and the Audience Favorite award! \n\n\n\nThis event is free to the public but reservations are requested to ensure seating for all. \n\n\n\nThen\, at 1:30 p.m.\, in collaboration with the George A. Romero Foundation’s “Romero Lives!” series\, the festival continues with a 30-min. Q&A with Dawn of the Dead actors Melissa Dunlap (“Airport Zombie Kid”)\, Bob Michelucci (“Scope Zombie”) and “Blond Zombie” Jeannie Jeffries\, in a rare public appearance\, hosted by fellow “zombie talent” veteran and director/producer Mike Ancas (Day of the Dead\, Chasing Zombies). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the Q&A\, at 2 p.m.\, watch Dawn of the Dead as it was intended to be seen: on the big screen. Romero’s gut-chomping\, genre-defining sequel to Night of the Living Dead premiered April 12\, 1979 at the Gateway Theater in downtown Pittsburgh and is rarely seen on movie screens. The plot follows two Philadelphia S.W.A.T. team members\, a traffic reporter\, and his television executive girlfriend seek refuge from a zombie epidemic in a secluded shopping mall  \n\n\n\nThe late critic Roger Ebert gave the movie four out of four stars and proclaimed it one of the best horror films ever made. Empire named it one of the 500 Greatest Movies of all Time in a 2008 survey. \n\n\n\nThe film also launched the career of makeup and special effects artist Tom Savini\, a Pittsburgh native who went on to work on classic horror films such as Friday the 13th parts 1 and 4\, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
