SUMMARY:An Evening with Salt Cellar Films
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center’s next Emerging Filmmakers Showcase will be centered around an exciting new production company with big plans for Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNicholas Geisler and Bennett Cordon—co-founders of Los Angeles-based Salt Cellar Productions—will be at The Lindsay on Thursday\, Aug. 15\, at 7:30 p.m. to screen three diverse and compelling short films\, participate in a Q&A\, and reveal exclusive details about the feature film Salt Cellar plans to shoot throughout Pittsburgh next year. This Showcase is a free event\, but guests will need to RSVP in advance due to space limitations. \n\n\n\n“Salt Cellar is dedicated to telling smart\, entertaining\, and humanist stories exploring the interplay between individuals\, technology and their communities\,” says Geisler. “We can’t wait to bring those stories to Pittsburgh’s vibrant independent film scene!” \n\n\n\nThe three films screening at The Lindsay\, all produced by Geisler and Cordon\, are: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n• When You Became Us\, a 10-minute sci-fi comedy written and directed by Geisler. The film follows a couple struggling to remain on the same page in a world where technology can merge our minds with the internet—and each other. The feature film that Salt Cellar intends to shoot in Pittsburgh is a fleshed-out version of When You Became Us that’s also set in this region. \n\n\n\n• Come As You Are\, a 16-minute drama chronicling the experiences of a young gay man navigating new and old relationships following a life-changing diagnosis. \n\n\n\n• Shut Up\, Jack\, a 9-minute comedy that premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival. The film takes place at a house party in which the titular Jack commits an embarrassing faux pas and becomes racked with anxiety. \n\n\n\nThe Salt Cellar duo both believe in\, as Cordon put it\, the importance of “forging community and conversation” through their work.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Salt Cellar imbues every project with a boundless passion for storytelling\,” says Geisler. “We’ve found a similar spirit and love for film at the Lindsay Theater.” \n\n\n\n\n\nAdds Cordon: “We bring stories to life that tackle a spectrum of perspectives and moments of human connection. As we share the power of cinema with a community of film lovers\, we hope to inspire filmmakers to create beauty in unpredictable futures.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmerging Filmmakers Showcase events\, a staple at The Lindsay\, present different artistic voices and encourage exchanges between these filmmakers and audiences. This program is partially funded by The Pittsburgh Foundation and always free to the public.

SUMMARY:Go to the People
DESCRIPTION:This event is SOLD OUT. \n\n\n\nFor the past 32 years\, Dr. Jim Withers has walked the streets and crawled under the bridges of Pittsburgh by night to provide medical care to the city’s homeless people. \n\n\n\nHis remarkable story is told in producer-writer-director Jeff Sewald’s documentary\, Go to the People\, which will be screened for free on Thursday\, Aug. 22\, at 7:30 p.m.\, as part of The Lindsay’s Emerging Filmmakers Showcase. The 60-minute film will be followed by a Q&A with Sewald and Dr. Withers. \n\n\n\n\nNamed one of CNN’s Top 10 Heroes in 2015\, Withers\, an internist\, was inspired by childhood memories of accompanying his father\, a family physician\, on house calls\, and his mother\, a nurse\, on home-care visits.  \n\n\n\n“It was normal in my family to care. And my parents didn’t just talk about it; they put caring into action\,” he told Pittsburgh Quarterly. “Seeing that gave me a sense of purpose\, and it was during those years that I decided to become a doctor.” \n\n\n\n\nWhen he first began his nighttime rounds\, with a formerly homeless man as his guide\, “Dr. Jim\,” dressed like a homeless person and gained acceptance on the streets\, under the bridges\, and in homeless encampments. Before long\, his dedication and compassion inspired others to join him in his mission. The program\, called Operation Safety Net\, is now recognized as one of the nation’s first full-time “street medicine” concerns\, and it continues to set the standard for this unique form of health care. \n\n\n\n\n“When I decided to make this film\, Jim told me that I would be forever changed by it\, and he was right\,” said Jeff Sewald\, an award-winning filmmaker and writer. “I learned from him that every interaction with homeless people must begin by listening to their concerns and\, sometimes\, just hearing their stories.” \n\n\n\n“My work with people living on the streets came not so much from my sense that they needed me\, but that I needed them\,” said Dr. Withers. “I see pieces of myself in every homeless person that I meet\, and consider it a privilege to be welcomed into their camps to connect with them as human beings.” \n\n\n\n\nShowcase events\, a staple at The Lindsay\, present different artistic voices and encourage exchanges between local filmmakers and the public. \n\n\n\nWhile admission is free to all Emerging Filmmakers Showcase events\, those attending are asked to RSVP at The Lindsay’s ticketing page to ensure seating for all.
