SUMMARY:We're All Going To Die: "A mostly funny documentary"
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nPreppers\, climate doomers\, bunker-dwellers … journalist and filmmaker Ben Knight explores the world of people preparing for total social and ecological collapse in the film We’re All Going To Die\, screening as part of The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center’s Emerging Filmmakers Showcase. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShowcase events\, a staple at The Lindsay\, are designed to encourage exchanges between local filmmakers and the public\, and are free to all. Knight\, based in Berlin and an alumnus of Allegheny College in Meadville\, is currently touring the U.S. to promote the film. \n\n\n\n“Supporting filmmakers throughout the region with Showcase events is a core value at The Lindsay\,” says Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor\, the Theater’s CEO. “We are delighted to welcome this innovative filmmaker to our Theater and offer audiences the opportunity to explore this topic from a global perspective.” \n\n\n\nAsking the question “What would you do if the world was going to come to an end?” Knight embarks on a four-year journey from Berlin to London to Kansas to Norway to the Chicxulub crater in Mexico\, to learn from those convinced humanity will soon expire. \n\n\n\n“For anyone with eyes and ears and an internet connection\, it has become difficult to ignore the global crises encroaching on us\,” Knight says. “When I began this work\, I thought this would make for an amusing subject for a film\, but soon enough I realized that I shared many of these people’s fears myself. So the film has\, somewhat unwillingly\, become about my own confrontation with the world’s mortality.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStill\, We’re All Going To Die doesn’t ignore the humorous aspects of the topic\, as its tagline is “A mostly funny documentary.” \n\n\n\nOn the international festival circuit\, We’re All Going To Die was an Official Selection at the Košice International Film Festival in Slovakia; the Signs of the Night International Festival in Berlin; the Depth of Field\, Docs Without Borders and Nature Without Borders international film festivals; and a semi-finalist at both the 2023 Rotterdam Independent Film Festival and Palermo International Film Festival. \n\n\n\nKnight\, a journalist completing his first film\, has written for Deutsche Welle\, the Guardian\, the New Statesman\, Prospect\, der Freitag\, and others. His articles have covered a small German town that armed the world\, cults in Germany and illegal fishing in Sierra Leone\, among other topics. \n\n\n\nThe 93-minute screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Knight\, who will be joined by special guests Father Thomas Sorka (Moon Township\, PA) and Pat Hanavan\, of Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\nFr. Sorka  is the Rector of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in McKees Rocks\, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America. He’s a frequent speaker in parishes on various spiritual topics including parish revitalization\, growth and leadership\, and can also be heard regularly on Ancient Faith Radio’s “Ancient Faith Today Live” program. \n\n\n\nWorking as an innovative partner for local businesses\, Hanavan is a creative consultant and brand strategist who runs Super Deep Creative and Some Good Print. Pat is also a co-owner of Survival Ready in Ambridge\, PA\, a shop that aims to “inspire preparedness through trusted products and services.” \n\n\n\nWhile admission is free\, those attending are asked to RSVP at The Lindsay’s ticketing page to ensure seating for all.

SUMMARY:The TRIP Local Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis scary season\, Los Angeles-based director\, actor\, writer and producer Dean Jacobs will return to his native Pittsburgh for the local premiere of The TRIP\, a haunted house/slasher film honoring the legacy of late director George A. Romero as well as the city of Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\nFeaturing local and nationally known actors\, the film screens Thursday\, Oct. 26\, at 7:30 p.m. as part of The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center’s Emerging Filmmakers Showcase. Showcase events\, a staple at The Lindsay\, are designed to encourage exchanges between local filmmakers and the public\, and are free to all. \n\n\n\n“Supporting local filmmakers with Showcase events is part of The Lindsay’s mission\,” says Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor\, The Lindsay’s CEO. “It is always such a thrill to see local filmmakers get a chance to show their work on the big screen\, and we are especially delighted to see Dean bring the results of his West Coast experience back home.” \n\n\n\nThe setting is a farmhouse in Westmoreland County’s Mount Pleasant\, where four childhood friends visit with plans for a relaxing weekend. But\, Jacobs says\, “the group soon finds out the house has something else planned.” \n\n\n\nRaised in McMurray and a 2002 graduate of Peters Township High School\, Jacobs began performing at the age of 10 for South Park Children’s Theatre\, Little Lake Theater and others.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter graduating from Indiana University of PA\, he landed some film roles\, including a small role in the locally shot feature\, A New York Heartbeat\, opposite future Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan. Afterward\, Jacobs decided to make the move to LA. \n\n\n\n“Filmmaking can and should be accessible for everyone with a desire to create\,” Jacobs says. “If you have a (phone) camera—and almost everyone does—that’s a good start. Tell a story. Give the audience something to invest in. \n\n\n\n“George Romero wrote the textbook on making a great independent film on a minimal budget. My intention was always to pay tribute to the city of Pittsburgh and\, in some small way\, hopefully honor the legacy of Romero in the process\,” Jacobs says. “The casting of Lori Cardille and John Amplas furthered that intention.” \n\n\n\nIn Romero’s third zombie film\, Day of the Dead\, Cardille played the lead role\, a tough-edged woman who had to fight off her rage-fueled male counterparts as well as zombies. She’s the daughter of “Chilly Billy” Cardille\, host of Pittsburgh’s Chiller Theater from the 1960s to the mid-1980s\, who played a small role in Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. \n\n\n\nAmplas\, in addition to his roles in  Romero films (Dawn of the Dead\, Day of the Dead\, Creepshow\, Martin and Knightriders)\, served as Romero’s casting director. Theater director at the Pittsburgh Playhouse\, Amplas taught theater at Point Park University for more than 20 years. \n\n\n\nOther stars of The TRIP include: Doug Bradley\, who played the lead role of Pinhead in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser\, Luke Edwards\, whose film credits include The Wizard\, Newsies\, Little Big League\, Jeepers Creepers II\, and Hannah Fierman\, a horror film veteran known for films and television shows including V/H/S\, Siren\, Creepshow\, Dynasty and Vampire Diaries. LA-based actor Evan Sloan and Salt Lake City-based Calvin Dittmore round out the main cast. \n\n\n\nDirector of photography Ethan Leisie is from Cranberry Township and supporting crew all live in the tri-state area. \n\n\n\nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers. Big Spring Spirits\, a community-centric craft distillery that is based in Bellefonte\, Pa. and operates a store in Sewickley\, will also be on hand with “The TRIP-inspired” signature cocktails available for purchase. \n\n\n\nWhile admission is free\, those attending are asked to RSVP at The Lindsay’s ticketing page to ensure seating for all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick Me!

SUMMARY:Some Like It Hot co-presented by the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center\, in collaboration with the Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club\, will present a one-time screening of the legendary\, Oscar-nominated 1959 film Some Like It Hot on Sunday\, Oct. 15\, at 1 p.m. \n\n\n\nThe picture follows two musicians\, played by Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis\, who disguise themselves as women after witnessing a mob crime; Curtis’ character falls for the singer portrayed by Marilyn Monroe. Some Like It Hot\, directed by six-time Oscar winner Billy Wilder\, was made without approval from the Motion Picture Production Code (Hays Code) because of its LGBT themes. \n\n\n\nSince then\, the film’s reputation has grown\, and it is widely considered one of the greatest of all time. The Library of Congress selected it as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the National Film Registry\, and the American Film Institute voted it as the top comedy film on their list of AFI’s 100 Years…100 Laughs poll in 2000. \n\n\n\n“Wilder’s 1959 comedy is one of the enduring treasures of the movies\, a film of inspiration and meticulous craft\,” said the late critic Roger Ebert\, giving the film four out of four stars. “What a work of art and nature is Marilyn Monroe. She has the gift of appearing to hit on her lines of dialogue by happy inspiration\, and there are passages in Some Like It Hot where she and Tony Curtis exchange one-liners like hot potatoes.” \n\n\n\n“No one but Billy Wilder could bring you such a madcap comedy\,” says Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club President Wendy Whittick\, who will introduce the film. The club strives to promote and preserve classic films from Hollywood’s Golden Age with screenings personally curated by their expert members. The club is a haven for classic movie fans to share their love of classics with like-minded members.   \n\n\n\nTickets are on sale now. 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:2023 Pittsburgh Moving Picture Festival: Thriller Picture Show
DESCRIPTION:Regular admission is $15 for all seats and all shows. An ALL-FESTIVAL PASS is available for $45.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Pittsburgh Moving Picture Festival: Thriller Picture Show is the cinematic celebration of the macabre\, the exciting\, the bizarre\, and the mysterious. \n\n\n\nFilm Screenings\n\n\n\nIn partnership with the George A. Romero Foundation (GARF)\, the Thriller Picture Show is also home to the Romero Lives commemorative event. Romero Lives 2023: The State of Nature showcases two George A. Romero classics that exemplify Hobbesian maxim that life in the state of nature can be “solitary\, poor\, nasty\, brutish\, and short”: Day of the Dead and the 50th anniversary of The Crazies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay of the Dead (1985\, 102 min)\n\n\n\nSaturday\, Oct. 7 at 5 p.m.\n\n\n\nDay of the Dead\, the third film in George A. Romero’s seminal Living Dead series\, presents a world where zombies have been on the rampage for so long that there are very few humans left alive. Trapped in an underground missile silo in Florida\, a small team of scientists\, civilians and trigger-happy soldiers battle desperately to ensure the survival of the human race\, but tension inside the base is reaching breaking-point. Romero describes it as a “tragedy about how a lack of human communication causes chaos and collapse even in this small little pie slice of society.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Crazies (1973\, 103 min)\n\n\n\nSunday\, Oct. 8 at 8:30 p.m.\n\n\n\nCynicism about the military industrial complex wasn’t exactly a fringe position in 1973\, but George A. Romero’s The Crazies is scathing nonetheless. When a military plane carrying a secret bioweapon crashes near the sleepy town of Evans City\, Pennsylvania\, the unsuspecting locals watch in terror as their formerly friendly neighbors turn into homicidal maniacs. Amid the mayhem\, a pair of firemen (and\, significantly\, Vietnam War veterans) named David and Clank lead a small band of survivors attempting to escape both the growing number of infected townspeople and the military’s doomed\, scorched-earth attempts to control the contagion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOfficial Selections\n\n\n\nThe Thriller Picture Show proudly presents a handpicked selection of imaginative horror\, thriller\, science fiction\, and dark comedy films crafted by visionary independent filmmakers from around the world. Every film is a testament to the boundless creativity of the cinema of thrills. From takes on classic favorites to original masterpieces\, you’ll witness the full spectrum of independent filmmaking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram A: Sunday\, Oct. 8 at 4:30 p.m.\n\n\n\nBedtime Story by Jake Jackson \n\n\n\nKnife-Bricker by Jack Culbertson \n\n\n\nRed Image by Alex (Jinwoo) Kang \n\n\n\nTo Moher by Max Levine \n\n\n\nDark Side of the Moon by Lincoln Reed \n\n\n\nBandaid by Jack Paluka \n\n\n\nNow is Not the Time by Matthew Garvin \n\n\n\nGreed & Gore by Adam Kirkey \n\n\n\n–5:30 p.m.\, approx.— \n\n\n\nFire by Wes Fisher  \n\n\n\nBill Murray Lost in Berlinale by Ana Trkulja \n\n\n\nGolden Shopping Arcade by Neri Ricci \n\n\n\nYou’re Early by Felix Wollner \n\n\n\n–6:30 p.m.\, approx.— \n\n\n\nSunset Drive by Michael Thomas DeLano \n\n\n\nScarpedicemente by John Vamvas & Olga Montes \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nProgram B: Monday\, Oct. 9 at 4 p.m.\n\n\n\nSnaggletooth by Scott David Lister  \n\n\n\nUltrapolice by Thibault Fauconnet \n\n\n\nEnter the Room by Harry Waldman \n\n\n\nWaiting for Galdot by sheri ratik stroud; Deryl Davis; E.

Early in the 20th century\, Pittsburgh was a worldwide manufacturing leader in iron and\, later\, steel. The labor requirements to produce such output was enormous\, with much of the manpower being supplied by the immigrant populations living in and around the mills. Due to the lack of leisure activities and the need to live close to the mills\, local movie theaters emerged to offer a brief respite from the mundane mill-to-home routine. By 1914\, it was estimated that there were approximately 200 movie theaters in the Pittsburgh region. \n\n\n\nThe Pittsburgh Moving Picture Festival honors Pittsburgh’s rich film heritage by showcasing features and short films from around the world and providing a theatrical opportunity for independent film in a setting that reflects both the history and the prestige of cinematic exhibition. \n\n\n\nImage987 Productions\n\n\n\nImage 987 is a Pittsburgh-based film production company.

SUMMARY:Animating Reality: An Evening with Filmmaker Kevin Schreck
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nThe tale starts with a rabbit and pink panther\, involves a thief and a cobbler\, and the epilogue focuses on a rapper. These characters are central to the works that award-winning filmmaker Kevin Schreck\, Visiting Documentary Filmmaker at Robert Morris University\, will present on Thursday\, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnimating Reality: An Evening with Filmmaker Kevin Schreck\, is a special free event hosted by The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center. \n\n\n\nSchreck will share his film\, Persistence of Vision\, an acclaimed documentary about “the greatest animated film never made.” Described as a story of obsession and dreams\, Persistence of Vision centers on the would-be masterpiece of Richard Williams\, the Academy-Award winning animation director of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and two of the Pink Panther movies\, among others. \n\n\n\nStriving to make the greatest animated film of all time\, Williams toiled for more than a quarter of a century on his masterpiece\, The Thief and the Cobbler––only to have it torn from his hands. Schreck’s Persistence of Vision weaves together mind-blowing animation\, rare archival footage\, and exclusive interviews with key animators and artists who worked with Williams on his ill-fated magnum opus.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“In animation circles\, it is a legendary story\,” says The Globe and Mail. “With an amazing cache of archival footage—including Mr. Williams’s original animation—Mr. Schreck’s documentary is gripping\, even though we know from the beginning that Mr. Williams’s project will fail.” \n\n\n\nBesides sharing this feature\, Schreck will also screen excerpts from his forthcoming project\, Enongo\, a documentary-animation hybrid and portrait of a young rapper/producer/Ph.D. candidate\, Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo\, better known by her stage persona\, Sammus. This documentary will be the first feature-length film with an animation team composed entirely of Black women animators\, Schreck says. \n\n\n\nAfter the screenings\, Schreck’s discussion of his career in bringing the worlds of animation and nonfiction cinema together will be followed by a Q&A session. Schreck’s latest film\, Antarctic Voyage (in post production) focuses on a scientific research expedition to the Antarctic Convergence and the remote island of South Georgia. Originally from Minneapolis\, Schreck is now based in Brooklyn. Schreck is the 12th Visiting Documentary Filmmaker at RMU (The Arts and Humanities Department and Center for Documentary Production & Study at the School of Informatics\, Humanities and Social Sciences)\, and as part of his semester-long resident will screen films and share his experienced as a filmmaker while teaching a documentary production class.

SUMMARY:Woman In Motion
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center launches its 2023 three-part Science on Screen film/speaker series with Astrobotic\, the CMU spin-off that’s building lunar landers on Pittsburgh’s North Side\, and its affiliated Moonshot Museum\, the only space museum in Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\nThe event recognizes March 28 as National Day of Science on Screen. Importantly\, it also demonstrates that not only does science impact the cultural landscape\, but culture can significantly impact the world of science. \n\n\n\nWhen the high profile National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was struggling to recruit team members and earn public support in 1977\, Nichelle Nichols\, the late Star Trek actress (Lt. Uhura)\, began an initiative that diversified the agency\, recruiting more than 8\,000 Black\, Asian and Latinx men—and women. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers: Elena Petrak\, senior quality assurance engineer at Astrobotic\, the Pittsburgh-based lunar lander builder\, who also promotes STEM careers with children through young adults. At 7 p.m.\, before the screening\, Petrak will give the brief presentation Now Launching: Engineering\, Lunar Landers and Alternative Pathways to STEM Careers. She also will be available to answer questions after the film. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLauren Shalek\, manager of operations and visitor services\, and Mike Hennessy\, manager of programs and learning\, at the Moonshot Museum\, will share information about Pennsylvania’s first space museum\, which encourages the next generation of space engineers with views of behind-the-scenes assembly action. \n\n\n\nShalek and Hennessy will welcome people at their information table in the Theater’s lobby– where attendees have the opportunity to write a message that will be carried to the moon. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Nichols is credited with opening the eyes of NASA to the idea that ‘the right stuff’ was not the exclusive purview of white male test pilots\, while helping to convince women and minorities of the same thing\,” says the Wall Street Journal. \n\n\n\n“And overnight—in mere months—the culture changed\,” remarks Roger Moore’s Movie Nation. The “eye-opening and inspiring film…underscores Nichols’ undeniable contribution to broadening NASA’s horizons and drumming up interest in STEM education among minority students all over America with her work. Years of involvement—visits\, public service announcements\, talk show appearances on the agency’s behalf—cemented her legacy.”
