SUMMARY:'Validity'
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay’s third Emerging Filmmakers Showcase of July is a thought-provoking medical drama.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Here!\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay’s third Emerging Filmmakers Showcase this month is a sneak peak at a fascinating new drama about medical ethics.  \n\n\n\nValidity was written and directed by Pittsburgh-based artists Kate Vargish and Randy Kovitz\, respectively. Their film\, inspired by true events\, follows a hypothermia researcher struggling with the morally tricky notion of using potentially life-saving data that was obtained from a terrible source. \n\n\n\nKovitz’s feature directorial debut will screen at The Lindsay on Thursday\, July 31\, at 7 p.m. Tickets are free\, but RSVPs are recommended in advance. \n\n\n\nAmy Marsalis stars as Dr. Sidney Randall\, a researcher who stumbles across invaluable data that was gathered during experiments at long-defunct Nazi death camps. Dr. Randall recruits a team to help her navigate the cutthroat world of health-ethics debates and (hopefully) earn the medical establishment’s approval to validate her findings. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe main cast also includes Kovitz\, Dominique Brock\, Daniel Klein\, Lisa Ann Goldsmith and Ken Bolden. \n\n\n\nKovitz is an actor\, writer\, musician\, producer and award-winning filmmaker. His acting credits range from Broadway and regional theater to TV and feature films. He also teaches acting for the camera at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama while also directing\, producing and editing the school’s acting and musical theater showcase video material. Kovitz has also worked as a fight director and stunt coordinator and performer—most notably\, as Raul Julia’s fencing double in 1991’s The Addams Family big-screen adaptation. \n\n\n\nVargish is a writer and producer with an MFA in dramatic writing from Carnegie Mellon University. She has produced several independent web series and short films in the Pittsburgh area\, as well as working on projects in Seattle and Los Angeles. Vargish has also produced film work for Pitt Stages\, CMU\, 1Hood Media and Ryse Professional Wrestling.

SUMMARY:The Filmworks of Max Cianci
DESCRIPTION:Local filmmaker Max Cianci will screen a selection of his narrative shorts and commercial work.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay’s second Emerging Filmmakers Showcase of July shines the spotlight on one of Pittsburgh’s most talented independent filmmakers. Max Cianci is a Hermitage\, Pa.\, native who has been living and working in Pittsburgh since 2014. The Point Park University alumnus has plenty of experience directing both narrative and commercial shorts. Cianci has plans for many projects down the pipeline—and he’s giving Lindsay patrons a taste of what’s to come. The Filmworks of Max Cianci will exclusively screen at The Lindsay on Thursday\, July 17\, at 7 p.m. This event is free\, but RSVPs are recommended. The evening will include a few Cianci-directed commercials\, three narrative short films\, a proof-of-concept short\, and an in-person Q&A with Cianci. \n\n\n\n\n\nCianci will unveil his proof of concept short film\, Tiny Toe. This is a short that he intends to make into a larger project. It follows a hunter who discovers an unusual creature in one of his traps. His hope is to create something that stands amongst the great lineage of creature and monster filmmaking here in Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\nThis event will also be the rare chance to see two other Cianci shorts on the big screen: 2020’s Loopy: A Quarantine Short Film\, co-directed by and starring Cianci\, is about a man investigating a seemingly abandoned building; and 2021’s The Sale\, about two thieves who get more than they bargained for during a looting run. Loopy was selected for over twenty film festivals during its run\, including the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY). The Sale received the Audience Choice Award at Pittsburgh Short’s Thriller Chiller screening. \n\n\n\nHe will also screen Crypt\, a 48 Hour Film Project production that won Best Cinematography\, Best Actress\, and Audience Choice. Crypt follows a woman who must escape after she wakes up during the process of being mummified. Cianci and his team created this film completely over the course of a single weekend.

SUMMARY:'Little Rich Lives'
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay’s latest Emerging Filmmakers Showcase is a dramedy about friendship and identity.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Here!\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay’s next Emerging Filmmakers Showcase is a locally shot dramedy with big ideas. \n\n\n\nLittle Rich Lives hails from Squirrel Hill-based filmmaker Eli Zazu. This 50-minute feature follows two best friends with opposing dispositions on a journey of self-discovery over one particularly eventful night. \n\n\n\nZazu’s film will premiere at The Lindsay on Monday\, July 14\, at 7 p.m. Tickets are free\, but RSVPs are recommended. Though it’s not required\, Zazu would love if all attendees dressed in formal attire. The film will be followed by an in-person Q&A with Zazu\, stars Kain Davis and McKenna Howell\, director of photography Steven Croner\, and first assistant director Sophia Beigi. \n\n\n\nDavis stars as Richie Hilton\, a privileged but insecure aspiring real estate professional. Richie’s best friend\, Tanner (Robert Starzynski)\, is more playful and grounded. Tanner is generally amused by Richie’s behavior\, but his erratic tendencies have increasingly become a source of exasperation. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe main cast also includes Howell\, David Ogrodowski\, Alyssa Wenzel and Mya Favata. Ogrodowski\, a prolific Pittsburgh actor\, also produced Zazu’s feature directorial debut. \n\n\n\nZazu has been directing\, writing and editing films for the last eight years. The Milwaukee native moved to Pittsburgh in 2022 and quickly began churning out short films like Purple and 80 Grand. Zazu finds purpose in connecting with people and working closely with actors to bring his stories to life.

SUMMARY:Vintage Car Display\, with Pittsburgh Cars 'N' Coffee
DESCRIPTION:We’re celebrating F1: The Movie‘s opening day with an exclusive exotic car show!\n\n\n\n\n\nF1 fans: Start your engines! \n\n\n\nThe Lindsay is celebrating the opening day of F1: The Movie by partnering with Pittsburgh Cars ‘N’ Coffee to bring an exclusive vintage car display to Sewickley. Anyone walking through the Green Street Parking Lot—located directly beside The Lindsay—on Friday\, June 27 will get to marvel at and take photos with a variety of exotic cars. \n\n\n\nPittsburgh Cars ‘N’ Coffee is giving automobile aficionados the rare chance to get up close with an Ariel Atom\, Ferrari 458 Italia\, McLaren 750S Spider\, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera and more vintage vehicles. \n\n\n\nF1: The Movie stars Brad Pitt as an older driver who is coaxed out of retirement to mentor a young hotshot. The film was directed directed by Top Gun: Maverick‘s Joseph Kosinski\, produced by F1 legend Lewis Hamilton and was filmed during real F1 Grand Prix weekends. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPittsburgh Cars ‘N’ Coffee was founded in 2010 and has since grown into Western Pennsylvania’s premier exotic and modern performance automotive enthusiast group. The group meets biweekly at Generoasta Coffee & Cafe in Warrendale and organizes multiple shows and charity events throughout the year. \n\n\n\n“Pittsburgh Cars ‘N’ Coffee is thrilled for the premier of the new F1 movie!” says Clifford Laschon\, the group’s founder and president. “Many of our members are huge Formula 1 fans and the involvement of many of the current F1 drivers\, including Lewis Hamilton as a producer\, means that this should be an exciting and realistic film. \n\n\n\n“We are honored to team up with The Lindsay Theater\, which is a wonderful venue in the heart of Sewickley. We are also happy to be bringing out a selection of privately owned exotic vehicles for the public to view on display during the movie.” \n\n\n\nNote: The Green Street Parking Lot is shutting down at 1 p.m. on June 27 for the first Night Mart of 2025. At that point\, the lot will only be accessible to approved vendors and the Pittsburgh Cars ‘N’ Coffee members whose vehicles are on display.

SUMMARY:'Caregiving'
DESCRIPTION:Bradley Cooper produced this film about the joys and struggles of life as a full-time caregiver.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Here!\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay\, WQED and Comfort Keepers are partnering to show a new PBS documentary about the triumphs and challenges of being a caregiver. \n\n\n\nCaregiving spotlights the stories of everyday folks—both paid and unpaid—as they navigate the rewarding and exhausting work inherent in caring for ill or aging loved ones. It was produced by Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper and narrated by Emmy winner Uzo Aduba\, who both served as caregivers for a sick parent. \n\n\n\nThe Lindsay is showing Caregiving on Thursday\, June 26\, at 7 p.m. The 30-minute screening will be preceded by a reception in the Theater’s Community Room from 6-7 p.m. and followed by a Q&A with local experts in caregiving and at-home care. \n\n\n\nThis event is free\, but RSVPs are required. It is being co-sponsored by Comfort Keepers\, an organization providing in-home care to communities across Western Pennsylvania\, and WQED\, Pittsburgh’s PBS affiliate that also recently collaborated with The Lindsay on the public premiere of the documentary Steel Links. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCaregiving largely focuses on the experiences of six family and professional caregivers. The featured caregivers include Matthew\, a young father caring for both his wife and son; Jacob\, a 14-year-old who\, along with his father\, shares the role of caregiver for his mom; Tracy\, a young woman looking after her dementia-stricken father; and Zulma\, a paid home health aide with a family of her own. \n\n\n\n“Making this film has been an inspiring and humbling experience\,” says Chris Durrance\, the film’s director and senior producer. “We have come to appreciate that every family has a care story and we hope that this film inspires viewers to share their own\, building new communities of care that will bring us all closer together.” \n\n\n\nThose care stories extend to Hollywood stars Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook) and Aduba (Orange is the New Black). The film was partially inspired by Cooper’s experiences taking care of his late father\, who had lung cancer. “Their ability to focus and give all of themselves is something that I stand in awe of\,” Cooper says during Caregiving in regards to his fellow caregivers. \n\n\n\nAduba played a similar role for her late mother\, who died in 2020 after a 495-day battle with pancreatic cancer. “I belong to the caregiving community\,” she told USA Today. She hopes that Caregiving serves as “a reminder that every single one of us is touched by the need for care.”

SUMMARY:'The Piano Lesson'
DESCRIPTION:Commemorate Juneteenth with this gripping adaptation of August Wilson’s Pittsburgh-set play.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets Here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Lindsay is partnering with the Sewickley Community Center’s Juneteenth Committee for a special presentation of The Piano Lesson in observance of Juneteenth. \n\n\n\nThis screening will take place on Thursday\, June 19\, at 7:15 p.m. General admission tickets are on sale for $11. \n\n\n\nThe Piano Lesson is a 2024 cinematic reinvention of Pittsburgh playwright August Wilson’s groundbreaking 1987 play. This supernaturally tinged tale is set in 1930s Pittsburgh and follows the brewing conflict between two siblings with vastly different ideas about what to do with an heirloom piano that physically displays their enslaved ancestors’ stories. \n\n\n\nThis take on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play is the third Wilson adaptation produced by Denzel Washington\, following 2016’s Fences and 2020’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. The Piano Lesson was a family affair: It stars John David Washington\, Denzel’s eldest son\, and was the feature directorial debut of Malcolm Washington\, the Oscar winner’s youngest son. \n\n\n\nThe film also stars Samuel L. Jackson\, Danielle Deadwyler\, Ray Fisher\, Michael Potts\, Corey Hawkins and Skylar Aleece Smith. The Piano Lesson currently holds a cumulative critics’ score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. \n\n\n\n“The Piano Lesson brings another powerful August Wilson play to the screen\,” raves The Wrap. “With performances that will resonate and a directorial debut that will not soon be forgotten\, The Piano Lesson is a lesson in love\, friendship and family.”

SUMMARY:'Steel Links' Public Premiere and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay is partnering with WQED to show a new documentary about golf’s deep roots in Pittsburgh.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets Here!\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSteel Links is an hour-long WQED documentary chronicling Pittsburgh’s industrial roots and its rise to the forefront of technology\, culture and sports—including golf. \n\n\n\nThe film will play at The Lindsay on Sunday\, June 8\, at 5 p.m. and Monday\, June 9\, at 7 p.m. The June 8 showing is sold out\, but general admission tickets for the June 9 event are on sale for $11. Both screenings are taking place ahead of the film’s WQED broadcast premiere on June 10 at 9 p.m. and before Oakmont hosts its 10th U.S. Open from June 12-15.  \n\n\n\nThroughout the film\, former Pirate Neil Walker leads viewers on this heartfelt tour of the Western Pennsylvania he knows and loves. Walker also will be present at the Theater on June 8 for a live Q&A following the screening. There will also be an in-person Q&A after the June 9 show. \n\n\n\nIn addition to Walker\, Steel Links features segments with former Steelers Coach Bill Cowher; former Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch; rapper and Pittsburgh native Wiz Khalifa; professional golfer and Greensburg native Rocco Mediate; World Golf Hall of Famer and Sewickley native/resident Carol Semple Thompson; and other local luminaries representing various facets of Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Steel Links pays homage to a city of grit\, resilience and reinvention\,” says Jason Jedlinski\, WQED’s president and CEO. “It’s both a tribute to our past and a reflection of our future\, chronicling the legacy and evolution of the Oakmont Country Club\, the game of golf and Pittsburgh itself. It reminds us what makes Pittsburgh—and its people—so special.”  \n\n\n\nSteel Links was created and executive produced by veteran filmmaker Brad Turkel. He also produced It’s a Beautiful Day in Pinehurst\, a one-hour PBS documentary about that area of North Carolina’s rich cultural and golfing traditions. Turkel’s vision with Steel Links was to do the same for Pittsburgh ahead of the U.S. Open at Oakmont. \n\n\n\nWestern Pennsylvania became Turkel’s “home away from home” after frequent visits to his wife’s hometown. Through Steel Links\, Turkel was able to dive deep into Pittsburgh’s modern tech\, arts\, music and sports scenes. He even united Walker\, Batch\, Mediate and Semple Thompson for 18 holes at Verona’s Long Vue Club. \n\n\n\nIn the film\, “We hear stories sharing their individual experiences with their sports and Pittsburgh\,” Turkel says. “Steel Links is told through the eyes and voices of well-known Pittsburghers. It’s like a love letter to the Pittsburgh that was\, is and continues to transform. \n\n\n\n“We want to showcase all the wonderful towns in and around Pittsburgh\,” Turkel continues. “Premiering at The Lindsay in Sewickley kind of symbolizes everything this doc is about.”

Josh Axelrod\, The Lindsay’s Director of Communications and an active PFCA member\, will also be on hand.  \n\n\n\nThis free and non-ticketed event will take place in The Lindsay’s Community Room on Sunday\, Feb. 16\, at 2 p.m. These professional critics and journalists will provide their thoughts on this year’s Oscars race\, films that seem to be over- or underperforming with voters\, their ideal Oscars scenarios and much more.

SUMMARY:Billy Gardell's "The Vortex"
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay is hosting the exclusive regional run of Swissvale native Billy Gardell’s new gambling drama.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets Available here!\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center will be the only place in Western Pennsylvania for fans of Swissvale native Billy Gardell to check out his first-ever lead dramatic role in a film. \n\n\n\nThe Vortex is set in the 1980s and stars Gardell as Pete Finnegan\, a gambling addict and the in-house comedian at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Pete ends up playing shrink to a host of colorful misfits while dodging mobsters and “collectors.” \n\n\n\nThe Vortex will play at The Lindsay from Feb. 14-20. Tickets are currently on sale for $11. \n\n\n\nThe Lindsay will be one of only a few theaters around the country licensed to show The Vortex during its initial theatrical run. The film will also debut in Los Angeles\, Chicago and Orlando\, Fla. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n“My hometown has been behind me since the early days\, so I try to share everything I do with Pittsburgh\,” says Gardell\, a comedian most well-known for his starring roles in CBS sitcoms Mike & Molly and Bob Hearts Abishola. “They made me who I am\, and so they will always get the first look.” \n\n\n\nThe film’s title refers to Gardell’s character “being caught in the vortex of his gambling addiction\,” says director and co-writer Richard Zelniker. Its cast also includes Jaina Lee Ortiz (Station 19)\, Jamie McShane (Wednesday)\, Azita Ghanizada (Suits: L.A.)\, Emily Alabi (FBI)\, Nick Gomez (Fargo) and Christopher Titus (Titus). \n\n\n\n“As the co-writer\, producer and director\, I’m humbled and grateful to say I believe we’ve created something truly special\,” Zelniker says. “I envisioned this film being experienced in the sacred space of a theater—on the silver screen\, in the dark\, with an audience.” \n\n\n\nPittsburghers will definitely want to watch Gardell flex his dramatic muscles in The Vortex. \n\n\n\n“It was a great experience to play a different tone as an actor\, and this film gave me a chance to do that\,” Gardell says. “I think that’s the key to continuing to get better and better at your job.” \n\n\n\nAdds Zelniker: “There’s nothing better than seeing a local hero like Billy Gardell shine in such a unique way. He’s phenomenal in this film\, and it’s a treat Pittsburghers won’t want to miss.”

SUMMARY:Allegheny Sport & Outdoor Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Five exciting documentaries celebrating this region’s athletic spirit—all for $11!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets Available here!\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Allegheny Sport & Outdoor Film Festival will hold a “Local Legends” screening at the Sewickley nonprofit theater on Sunday\, Jan. 26\, at 1 p.m.  ASOFF is a Pittsburgh-based project celebrating sport\, outdoor culture and adventure documentary films with a special emphasis on stories from Western Pennsylvania\, Northern Appalachia and the mid-Atlantic region. \n\n\n\nFive documentaries will be shown\, most of them spotlighting a Western Pennsylvania-based athlete or organization. This event will also include Q&As with a director or subject from each film. Tickets\, including admission to all films\, are available for $11.  \n\n\n\n“The goal is to highlight this region’s outdoor spirit and bring it up to par with festivals and outdoor recreation on the national and international level\,” says Rishi Sethi\, CEO of locally based malhari.media and ASOFF’s communications and operations director. “This ‘Local Legends’ screening should be an exciting way for folks to see what’s going on in their own backyard.” \n\n\n\n\nThe five “Local Legends” films are: \n\n\n\n• We Ride (65 minutes)\, which follows three cyclists from Pittsburgh Youth Leadership endeavoring to cycle across America in just 18 days. \n\n\n\n• To Be The Man (3 minutes)\, which focuses on Michael “Gagz” Gagliardi’s battle for a fifth consecutive win at the Loopy Looper 12-hour Endurance Race. \n\n\n\n• First Waves Beaver County (5 minutes)\, a Sethi-directed documentary chronicling the expansion of the Watersmith Guild’s groundbreaking youth environmental education program into the Beaver and Ohio River valleys following the ethylene cracker plant’s pollution penalties. \n\n\n\n• Richard Hamilton (4 minutes)\, which profiles a wood-cutter and professional chainsaw carver. \n\n\n\n• Heaven on Earth (15 minutes)\, which follows the Highland Park Tennis Club as its members prepare for the start of the 2023 season. \n\n\n\nASOFF’s last engagement was at Downtown’s Harris Theater in November 2024. Festival director Chas Wagner chose The Lindsay for “Local Legends” because “there aren’t a lot of theaters that are welcoming to this kind of community programming.” \n\n\n\n“Part of our mission is to get outside of just the city\,” says Wagner. “The Lindsay is a great venue.”

SUMMARY:First Week-Long Run of Locally Made Thriller Basic Psych
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\n\n\n\nBasic Psych\, a Western Pennsylvania-filmed thriller starring Michael Cerveris and David Conrad\, will play for at least a week at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center. \n\n\n\nCerveris\, a two-time Tony winner also known for his small-screen work in shows like Mindhunter and The Gilded Age\, stars in Basic Psych as psychiatrist Stuart Prince. Conrad\, a Pittsburgh native and Ghost Whisperer series regular\, plays an enigmatic patient who Dr. Prince begins to suspect may pose a threat to others—including his family. \n\n\n\n\nBasic Psych will open at The Lindsay on Jan. 10 and will run through at least Jan. 16. Tickets are currently on sale and available via The Lindsay’s website. \n\n\n\nThis long-awaited product of the Pittsburgh film industry was directed by Melissa Martin (The Bread\, My Sweet) and penned by Jim Tucker\, a local pediatrician and novelist making his screenwriting debut with Basic Psych. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n​​“It’s a thrill for me to have my first screenplay finally come to the big screen at The Lindsay Theater!” says Tucker. “I am overwhelmed by how marvelous The Lindsay Theater is. I love that it’s a theater that has such terrific audio\, outstanding acoustics and perfect picture quality.” \n\n\n\nProduction on Basic Psych was delayed due to COVID-induced shutdowns and was finally completed in summer 2021. Filming took place all over the region\, from a house in Fox Chapel to La Roche University in McCandless to the former Vessel Studio in the South Side. \n\n\n\n“I’m in love with this city\,” says Martin. “Part of the reason I want to keep making movies is because I want to capture this city on film. We love it so much\, and it’s just beautiful.” \n\n\n\nThe Basic Psych cast also features Siena Goines (Days of Our Lives) and regional acting talent such as Cotter Smith (Unsinkable)\, Patrick Jordan (American Rust) and Carl Clemons (A Man Called Otto). Martin also shouted out locally based Basic Psych cinematographer Jeff Garton (Unsinkable) and the post-production assistance provided by Western Pennsylvania-based companies Red Caiman Studios and PMI Digital. \n\n\n\nBasic Psych premiered last year as part of the 2024 Three Rivers Film Festival. It screened two days later at The Lindsay and quickly sold out. Martin attended that Lindsay screening and thinks it’s “wonderful to have a theater here that participates with independent filmmakers.” \n\n\n\nShe can’t wait for a film that was made in her adopted hometown during a global pandemic to play for an entire week at one of her favorite theaters. \n\n\n\n“It’s a thrill ride!” says Martin. “It’s really important\, just like for us to go to the Steelers and Pirates\, to see what homegrown talent can do in this city. We can make a thing that’s a lot of fun and has a really great story.”

SUMMARY:Holiday Classics at The Lindsay
DESCRIPTION:Season’s greetings! Is it ever too early to start spreading holiday cheer? \n\n\n\nGet ready for two weeks of timeless stories about togetherness\, generosity and keeping your tongue away from frozen poles. \n\n\n\nThe Lindsay will have many flavors of holiday classics on tap this year. Board The Polar Express\, get into shenanigans with Ralphie Parker in A Christmas Story\, hang out with Will Ferrell’s oversized Christmas helper in Elf or join the Griswolds for National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation!  \n\n\n\nInterested in revisiting Hollywood’s Golden Age? Look no further than the trifecta of It’s a Wonderful Life\, White Christmas and We’re No Angels! Don’t forget to mark your calendars for Dec. 21\, which is when we’ll have a sensory friendly Elf screening and Burgh Bus Christmas Vacation event. Tickets are on sale for every holiday classic screening at the links below. We hope to see you at the Theater during the most wonderful time of the year! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s a Wonderful Life\n\n\n\nPG | 2h 10min | Drama\, Fantasy\, Romance\n\n\n\nDirector: Frank Capra\n\n\n\nStars: James Stewart\, Donna Reed\, Lionel Barrymore\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow many of us can remember a holiday season without It’s a Wonderful Life? That’s a testament to the enduring universality of this beautiful drama about a businessman (Indiana\, Pa.\, native James Stewart) seeing what the world would look like without him. \n\n\n\nAlmost 80 years later\, It’s a Wonderful Life remains “a genuine American classic\,” writes The Guardian. Even in 1946\, critics like The Hollywood Reporter‘s Jack D. Grant realized that director Frank Capra had made a film in which “everyone who sees it will agree that it’s wonderful entertainment.” \n\n\n\n“His direction of the individual characterizations delivered is also distinctively his\, and the performances\, from the starring roles of James Stewart and Donna Reed down to the smallest bit\, are magnificent. When Capra is at his best\, no one can top him.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for It’s a Wonderful Life\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElf\n\n\n\nPG | 1h 37min | Comedy\n\n\n\nDirector: Jon Favreau\n\n\n\nStars: Will Ferrell\, James Caan\, Zooey Deschanel\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVery little will get you in the holiday spirit faster than Elf. Director Jon Favreau’s 2003 comedy follows Buddy (Will Ferrell)\, a human raised among Santa’s elves who leaves the North Pole to find his father (James Caan) and remind jaded New Yorkers about the true meaning of Christmas. \n\n\n\nElf is an “irresistibly goofy Christmas comedy” that “takes bold pleasure in unabashed silliness\,” raves Salon. As the New York Post playfully declares: “Yule love it.” \n\n\n\n“Elf is a pleasantly old-fashioned\, gee-whillikers Yuletide confection…Ferrell’s manic\, overgrown-kid energy sweeps all before it\, announcing him as a major leading-man talent who can charm as well as amuse.”The Lindsay will be holding a sensory-friendly Elf screening on Saturday\, Dec. 21\, at 10 a.m. We encourage those who are interested in attending this screening to purchase tickets in advance. \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for Elf\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNational Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation\n\n\n\nPG-13 | 1h 37min | Comedy \n\n\n\nDirector: Jeremiah S. Chechick\n\n\n\nStars: Chevy Chase\, Bevery D’Angelo\, Juliette Lewis\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho could have guessed that Clark Griswold’s (Chevy Chase) grand vision for the perfect Christmas was destined to go delightfully haywire? Well\, just everybody going into National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation who had spent the 1980s laughing along with the Griswolds’ hapless antics. \n\n\n\nChristmas Vacation “may be the only modern Christmas comedy which really stands up to repeat viewings\,” declares Time Out. The third Vacation film finds “Chevy Chase and brood doing what they do best\,” praises Variety. \n\n\n\n“If it doesn’t make you at least giggle\,” adds Empire\, “then you clearly don’t understand the true meaning of the festive season—which is of course combustible toilets and electrified cats.”The Lindsay is collaborating with The Burgh Bus on a Dec. 21 Holiday Ride that will begin with a 6:30 p.m. Burgh Bus tour and culminate in a 7:30 p.m. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation screening. Don’t miss out! \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for Christmas Vacation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’re No Angels\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 46min | Comedy\, Caper\n\n\n\nDirector: Michael Curtiz\n\n\n\nStars: Humphrey Bogart\, Peter Ustinov\, Aldo Ray\n\n\n\nSINGLE SCREENING on Sunday\, Dec. 15\, at 1 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club returns to The Lindsay for a one-time showing of We’re No Angels\, the 1955 screwball comedy about three escaped convicts who are unexpectedly moved to help a kind shopkeeper and his family. \n\n\n\nWe’re No Angels soars thanks to “Michael Curtiz’s directorial pacing and topflight performances from Humphrey Bogart\, Aldo Ray and Peter Ustinov\,” lauds Variety. This Broadway adaptation is an “assured\, entertaining black comedy” that feels “both warm and sophisticated\,” writes TV Guide. \n\n\n\nBe sure you head over to The Lindsay early on Sunday\, Dec. 15\, for a special introduction from Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club President Wendy Whittick. \n\n\n\n\nTickets for We’re No Angels\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhite Christmas\n\n\n\nNR | 2h 5min | Musical\, Comedy\, Romance\n\n\n\nDirector: Michael Curtiz\n\n\n\nStars: Bing Crosby\, Rosemary Clooney\, Danny Kaye\n\n\n\nLIMITED SCREENINGS: Sunday\, Dec. 15\, at 3:30 p.m. & Monday\, Dec. 16 at 7 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFathom Events is bringing White Christmas back to theaters for its 70th anniversary! This lavish musical stars Bing Crosby\, Danny Kaye\, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen as two pairs of traveling performers who combine their talents to save a Vermont inn from closing. \n\n\n\n“With wit\, exuberance\, and some show-stopping hits\, White Christmas is a cracking musical\,” raves BBC. This film is a “cosy crowd-pleaser” with “sumptuous production values\,” commends Total Film. “This was the Mamma Mia! of its day\, a nostalgic blast of popular Irving Berlin show-tunes gift-wrapped in new-fangled VistaVision.” \n\n\n\nPittsburgh Classic Movie Club Vice President Deann Davis will provide a special introduction prior to the Dec. 15 screening. \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for White Christmas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Christmas Story\n\n\n\nPG | 1h 33min | Comedy\, Family\n\n\n\nDirector: Bob Clark\n\n\n\nStars: Peter Billingsley\, Melinda Dillon\, Darren McGavin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll that Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley) wants for Christmas is a Red Ryder Range 200 Shot BB gun. A Christmas Story warm-heartedly chronicles his many efforts to convince the many adults in his life—including Santa—to get him a gift that keeps on giving. \n\n\n\nThis 1983 holiday comedy contains “a treasure chest of familiar moments that almost every kid—even those who don’t celebrate Christmas—can relate to\,” writes IGN. A Christmas Story is “family fare to savor” and simply “a joy to the world\,” declares The Washington Post.”If you’re a Christmas holdout\, a true believer who still hears reindeer on the roof\, and even on an unseasonably warm Christmas Eve holds out hope of waking to a yard full of snow and branches coated like velvet antlers\, then A Christmas Story is for you.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for A Christmas Story\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Polar Express\n\n\n\nG | 1h 40min | Animated\, Adventure\n\n\n\nDirector: Robert Zemeckis\n\n\n\nStars: Tom Hanks\, Peter Scolari\, Nona Gaye\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll aboard The Polar Express! This adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg’s 1985 children’s book follows a young boy who on Christmas Eve is whisked away for a magical train ride to the North Pole. His unexpected adventure teaches him important lessons about friendship\, bravery and the spirit of Christmas. \n\n\n\nThe Polar Express “is a runaway thrill” full of “rambunctious comedy…which buttresses the story’s sage wisdom\,” writes The Hollywood Reporter. Director Robert Zemeckis’ technical marvel “has the quality of a lot of lasting children’s entertainment\,” Roger Ebert wrote in his 2004 review. \n\n\n\n“The Polar Express is a movie for more than one season; it will become a perennial\, shared by the generations…The conductor tells Hero Boy he thinks he really should get on the train\, and I have the same advice for you.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for The Polar Express

SUMMARY:Queering the Documentary: An Evening with Filmmaker Connor Lee O’Keefe
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center will introduce regional cinephiles to the singular filmmaking talent of Connor Lee O’Keefe later this month. \n\n\n\nO’Keefe is a nonfiction filmmaker\, artist and teacher who uses a queer lens to shape the realities captured in his films. He’s currently in residence as this semester’s Visiting Documentary Filmmaker at Robert Morris University. \n\n\n\nHe’ll be at The Lindsay on Thursday\, Nov. 7\, at 7 p.m. to share five of his documentary shorts as part of a specially curated Queering the Documentary program. Those screenings will be followed by a Q&A with O’Keefe. Tickets to this event are free\, but RSVPs are encouraged in advance due to space limitations. \n\n\n\n\nSome of O’Keefe’s films that will be screened on Nov. 7 include Our Transition\, which explores O’Keefe’s gender transition from his parents’ perspective; Imagine a Body\, an essay film on the spiritual nature of hormone replacement therapy for transgender men that premiered in 2022 as part of the The New Yorker Documentary Series; and No More Longing\, an immersive portrait of Brazilian musician Jaime Jobim that premiered at SFFilm in San Francisco. \n\n\n\n\n“It is a pleasure to work with our Visiting Documentary Filmmaker each fall semester\,” says Jen Stratakis\, RMU’s Arts & Humanities’ media outreach coordinator. “I have the privilege of helping each one connect with the RMU student body and greater Pittsburgh film community to share their work in a meaningful way. This semester\, Connor Lee O’Keefe brings his beautiful take on storytelling to our campus and our town. He is eloquent and his films are inspiring.”   \n\n\n\nThis is the second year in a row that The Lindsay will be hosting a Robert Morris Visiting Documentary Filmmaker’s public showcase. \n\n\n\n\n“I’m honored to have been able to continue refining my work as an artist with RMU and to have an opportunity to participate in fruitful dialogue with audiences at The Lindsay\,” says O’Keefe. “We need independent theaters to keep this art form doing what it does best—and that’s bringing people together.” \n\n\n\nRMU’s Visiting Documentary Filmmaker program is a 15-week residency that requires participants to teach a documentary introduction class\, create and share their work\, and actively engage with the RMU faculty\, student body and general community. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“We need queer and trans perspectives now more than ever\,” says O’Keefe. “I hope these films immerse you into a space that allows you to wonder\, heal and grow.”

SUMMARY:Twisters Talk with Local Meteorologists
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center has recruited two of Pittsburgh’s favorite local media personalities—and foremost weather experts—to help enhance guests’ enjoyment of Twisters. \n\n\n\nWPXI’s Scott Harbaugh and KDKA’s Ron Smiley will be at the Theater on Friday\, July 26\, at 7 p.m. for a special conversation tied to Twisters. Our guests are welcome to stick around after the Theater’s 4:30 p.m. Twisters showing or head over before the 7:30 p.m. screening to catch this free program headlined by two of this region’s most accomplished meteorologists. Patrons who have already seen Twisters are also welcome to attend this exclusive event.  \n\n\n\nHarbaugh and Smiley will chat for 20-25 minutes about the art of meteorology\, why the Pittsburgh area has seen so many tornadoes already this summer\, and what the original 1996 Twister got right (and wrong) about one of nature’s most fascinating and destructive weather phenomena. \n\n\n\n“Twister was out right when I was in college\,” says Smiley. “It wasn’t like anything we had ever seen before. On top of that\, the science was accurate! I think that’s what lots of us really appreciate.” \n\n\n\nBoth he and Harbaugh can’t wait to see what Hollywood came up with for Twisters\, which is already garnering strong early reviews. Entertainment Weekly recently declared that Twisters “is just about as good as a summer movie gets.” \n\n\n\n“I think the movie looks amazing!” says Harbaugh. “The technology in it looks phenomenal. It’s the kind of movie where you’re not going to be able to sit back the entire time.” \n\n\n\nBoth Harbaugh and Smiley are excited about this rare in-person opportunity to connect with their loyal viewers—and reconnect with each other. \n\n\n\n“Scott and myself\, we really get along\,” Smiley says. “It’s going to be fun hanging with him\, talking science\, weather and some of the challenges we go through forecasting in Western Pennsylvania.” \n\n\n\nAdds Harbaugh: “Any time I get to hang out with someone in town who does the same thing as me\, it’s always a good time. I’m looking forward to hanging out with Ron and catching up. It’s nice to do something face to face for once!”

SUMMARY:Presentation by Local Motorcyle Expert for The Bikeriders
DESCRIPTION:Note: This event was originally scheduled for Friday\, June 21.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAnyone can watch The Bikeriders  at The Lindsay starting June 21. Plus\, folks heading to the Theater the following Friday will also get to hear from a true motorcycle expert. \n\n\n\nMoviegoers who are either leaving The Lindsay’s 4:30 p.m. showing of The Bikeriders or getting ready to catch the full-throttle drama at 7:30 p.m. will have the chance to meet Mike Seate\, a Sewickley resident\, veteran motorcycle journalist\, and Cafe Racer magazine’s editor and publisher. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeate will be on hand at 6:45 p.m. on June 28 for a 30-minute presentation about motorcycle culture\, his knowledge of The Bikeriders  inspiration Danny Lyon\, and to show off his 1960 Norton Dominator — a popular\, high-performance street bike imported from the United Kingdom — at The Lindsay. \n\n\n\n“Danny Lyon’s The Bikeriders is a seminal work of 20th-century photojournalism that’s respected by motorcyclists around the world\,” says Seate. “That his work inspired a Hollywood movie is a testament to the enduring quality of his photos.” \n\n\n\nThis Seate talk is the perfect companion to The Bikeriders\, writer-director Jeff Nichols’ sweeping tale of loyalty and love centered around a Midwestern motorcycle club. The captivating summer action-drama stars Oscar nominees Austin Butler (Elvis)\, Tom Hardy (The Revenant) and Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road) alongside a stacked cast that also includes Jodie Comer (Killing Eve)\, Mike Faist (Challengers)\, Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead) and Boyd Holbrook (Logan). \n\n\n\nSeate’s presentation will focus on the period of motorcycle history depicted in The Bikeriders and Lyon’s time documenting members of the real-life Outlaws Motorcycle Club that inspired Nichols’ fictional story. Friday’s talk will also include historical items and memorabilia provided by Seate\, along with the chance to purchase his book\, Two Wheels on Two Reels. \n\n\n\nCafe racers originated in the 1960s as British sport and speed bikes favored by urban “rockers” who used the stripped-down motorcycles to sprint from cafe to cafe. Seate has spent years studying and writing about cafe racers and the folks who love them\, even traveling to the U.K. and absorbing information that he has been sharing with local motorcycle enthusiasts ever since. He also hosted 56 episodes of the Discovery series “Cafe Racer\,” which recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of when filming wrapped on its final season. \n\n\n\nWhether you love motorcycles or just want to watch one of summer 2024’s most anticipated new releases\, come on down to The Lindsay for The Bikeriders and the rare opportunity to hang out with a local guy who knows a lot about the world of cafe racers.

SUMMARY:Pillow Talk co-presented by the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\n\n\n\nSpicy 1950s rom-com Pillow Talk\, starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson\, will screen Tuesday\, June 11\, at 7:30 p.m.\, in partnership with the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay stars as Jan\, an interior decorator\, with Hudson as Brad\, a composer and playboy\, who share a telephone party line and a mutual dislike—until Brad sees Jan in person and hatches a plan to win her heart. The film was nominated for five Oscars and won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay. \n\n\n\n“Pillow Talk is a funny\, heartwarming film that harkens back to the premise of the original screwball comedies\, specifically a hilarious battle of the sexes\,” says Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club president Wendy Whittick\, who will introduce the picture. “This film revitalized the careers of Hudson and Day\, recasting him as a comic actor and giving her a sexier image. It was such a success that they were paired in two subsequent films.” \n\n\n\nThe film topped the U.S. box office for seven consecutive weeks\, and grossed nearly $19 million\, then considered a huge amount. It was named to the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry in 2009\, recognized for its cultural\, historic and aesthetic significance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPillow Talk is “one of the most lively and up-to-date comedy-romances of the year\,” said The New York Times in its original 1959 review. “It is really the clever witty screenplay that accounts for much of the sparkle in this film. With a CinemaScope screen to play on\, (the screenwriters) and director Michael Gordon have much fun. And that fun is transmitted to the audience in an easy and generous flow of ingeniously graphic situations and nimble repartee.” \n\n\n\nTickets are on sale now!

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:Premiere of Restored Pandora's Box with Live Accompaniment
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center\, in partnership with the Pittsburgh Silent Film Society\, will present Pandora’s Box\, starring legendary actress Louise Brooks and accompanied by live music\, on Sunday\, March 3\, at 3 p.m.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConsidered a masterwork of the silent film era\, the picture by G.W. Pabst will be shown in its 2K restoration for the first time in the Pittsburgh area. Lurid and highly controversial upon its release\, the film follows the downward spiral of the fiery yet innocent showgirl Lulu. \n\n\n\nThe film was rediscovered by scholars in the 1950s and began to earn the reputation of an unsung classic. Film critic Roger Ebert reviewed the film in 1998 with great praise\, and included the film on his list of The Great Movies. Director Quentin Tarantino also listed it among his 10 greatest films of all time. \n\n\n\n“Louise Brooks dazzles as the dangerously appealing seductress\,” says the British Film Institute. Brooks’ “rightly acclaimed performance oozes careless vivacity and irresistible charm. But the direction is also brilliantly meticulous\, making memorable use of Günther Krampf’s fluid camera and expressive lighting.” \n\n\n\n“We are pleased to again partner with the Pittsburgh Silent Film Society to bring a treasured silent film to the Theater\,” says Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor\, CEO of The Lindsay. “Audience response to these films has been enthusiastic; particularly because of the texture added by the live musical accompaniment.” \n\n\n\nAccompanying the film will be Ben Opie\, who performs on reeds and electronics\, and teaches music technology at both Carnegie Mellon University and Pittsburgh’s CAPA High School; and Mark Micchelli\, a pianist\, composer\, technologist and educator pursuing a doctorate in jazz studies\, composition and theory at the University of Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\n“We’re thrilled to co-present this brand new restoration of Louise Brooks’ best film at one of our favorite independent cinemas\, and accompanied by some of Pittsburgh’s best jazz musicians\,” says Chad Hunter\, director of the Pittsburgh Silent Film Society\, whose work has been praised by Martin Scorsese. “It doesn’t get any better.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Pandora’s Box is a piece of glowing cinema which has one searching for superlatives\,” says Stage and Cinema. Louise Brooks’ face “defies time and period\, and is as relevant today as it was in 1929 when she was lured to Germany by Pabst to play the doomed Lulu. No other actress of her period could have realized this character so subtly or with such insouciance.” \n\n\n\nThe 141-minute film has original intertitles in German with English subtitles. All tickets are $15\, and no passes can be used. For this and other special events hosted at the Theater\, absolutely no ticket refunds are possible. For regular screenings\, the Theater is pleased to issue ticket “swaps” or refunds when contacted at least 24 hours in advance of the ticketed showtime.

SUMMARY:Azure Festive Families Concert
DESCRIPTION:The third annual Festive Families interactive holiday concert\, a fun event that fosters community among people with autism\, will be celebrated at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center at 2 p.m.\, Sunday\, Dec. 3. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Autism Pittsburgh and Azure Family Concerts\, the free event features music by Red Beans and Rice Combo\, described as a sharp-dressed band that delivers a danceable mix of New Orleans R&B and early rock & roll nuggets\, with a jazzy dash of Tin Pan Alley. The band promises to deliver selections from A Charlie Brown Christmas as well as “jazzed-up Hanukkah selections.”  \n\n\n\n“We are very happy to again partner with Autism Pittsburgh and Azure for one of their most joyous events\,” said Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor\, the Theater’s CEO. “Families share that sensory friendly programming can be limited in suburban and rural areas\, and by working with partners like Autism Pittsburgh and Azure\, The Theater is able to extend inclusive programming from screenings to concerts and other live performance events. Time and again\, parents and educators share the value this programming brings to families impacted by autism and other limitations.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants at Festive Families can opt to sing\, dance\, vocalize or clap\, and a designated quiet space is also available. “All behaviors are welcome\,” Azure says. \n\n\n\n“Azure Pittsburgh recognizes that autism and related challenges can present barriers to attendance and engagement in a formal concert setting\,” says Anitra Birnbaum\, executive director of Azure Pittsburgh. “Our goal is to create an environment where all people are accepted\, embraced and celebrated—a goal that is particularly important during the holidays\, when it is so easy to feel lost and overwhelmed amid all the hustle and bustle.” \n\n\n\nRegistration for the hour long event is available online. On Sundays\, parking is free in Sewickley\, including on the street and the municipal lot next to the Theater (418 Walnut St.); ramps to the Theater offer easy accessibility.
