Both screenings will be followed by cast and crew Q&As. \n\n\n\nThree Rivers\, which was recently crowned this region’s Best Film Festival by Pittsburgh City Paper readers\, returns to The Lindsay with six screenings from Nov. 15-17.

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:Strong Mind Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Ninety percent of the public thinks America is having a mental health crisis\, according to the American Psychological Association. \n\n\n\nThis crisis includes anxiety\, depression\, eating disorders and much more\, says Benjamin Carlucci\, an award-winning filmmaker and Creative Director at the Strong Mind Project\, a local mental health awareness nonprofit. On Sunday\, Oct. 20\, from 5:30 to 9 p.m.\, The Lindsay will host the inaugural Strong Mind Showcase. \n\n\n\nThis free event features a pre-screening panel discussion with mental health professionals and advocates. Afterward\, two hours of short films\, separated by an intermission\, aim to promote empathy\, insight and understanding in the mental health space. \n\n\n\n“The Strong Mind Project is dedicated to cultivating conversations and raising awareness in the mental health space\,” says Carlucci\, a Squirrel Hill resident. “Our upcoming showcase will bring together talented artists with mental health professionals and advocates for the theme of ‘making the invisible\, visible.’” \n\n\n\nActivities begin at 5:45 p.m. with a panel discussion featuring Matt Walsh\, Oasis Mental Health’s co-founder and chief clinical officer; Listen Lucy CEO Jordan Corcoran; and artist Hayden Caico\, whose short film\, The Creature and Me\, will screen at the festival. \n\n\n\nFilm selections\, starting at 6:45 p.m.\, will share the best of more than 2\,000 submissions from 106 countries. An awards presentation will follow. \n\n\n\n“We are delighted to bring together so many diverse voices under one event\,” continues Carlucci. “The Strong Mind Showcase is more than just a film festival—it’s a platform for artists to shine a light on mental health challenges\, and for the rest of us to shine a light on the artists sparking crucial conversations through storytelling.” \n\n\n\nTickets are free\, but RSVPs are requested in advance to ensure seating for all. Carlucci advises that these films and conversations are suitable for ages 13 and older.

SUMMARY:Waltz World Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center’s spooky October continues with the world premiere of an exciting new horror-thriller that was made right here in Western Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\n\nWaltz is a Halloween-friendly film about a desperate woman whose attempt to make ends meet results in the fight of her life. This next entry in The Lindsay’s ongoing Emerging Filmmakers Showcase series is set for Thursday\, Oct. 17\, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are free\, but we encourage RSVPs in advance—especially for an event like this\, that’s already at half capacity! \n\n\n\nA Q&A directly following the screening will feature writer-director Joshua Maley\, a local filmmaker and founder of Monaca-based Grimm Sleeper Productions; stars Hannah Keeley\, Hattie Baier and (Sewickley native) David Dietz; special effects “gore master” Jason Proakis; editor Holly Grayson; and director of photography Kevin Kukler. \n\n\n\nKeeley\, a United Kingdom native with international stage and film-acting experience\, takes center stage in Waltz. She plays Alice\, who begins selling erotic photos of herself online after losing her job. She gains a following—including one fan who quickly takes things too far.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The inspiration for Waltz came from my interest in what really makes a monster\,” says Maley.  “In a way\, we’re all monsters sometimes. We all do good and bad things\, and sometimes we do the bad things for a good reason\, or we do the good things for a bad reason.” \n\n\n\nMaley\, a Beaver County native\, attended Point Park University and Full Sail University in Florida before he founded Grimm Sleeper Productions in 2015. His first short\, the thriller 415\, earned four awards—including Audience Choice and Best Writing—at the Haunted Oaks Film Festival; was an official selection at the 2021 Moscow Gold Film Festival and the Bite Size Film Festival; and scored top awards at the Pittsburgh Moving Picture Festival’s 2023 Thriller Picture Show. \n\n\n\nThe trailer for Waltz received the Best Trailer Award at the 2023 Prodigy Film Fest. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWaltz is Maley’s first feature film\, and he always intended to premiere it at The Lindsay. \n\n\n\n“The experience of a cozy\, small-town theater just makes everything more enjoyable and feel less commercial\,” he says. “It was also important for me to screen my first feature close to home\, but in a central location easily accessible by my colleagues. The Lindsay checks all the boxes. The Emerging Filmmakers program is the frosting on an already tantalizing cake.” \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“We appreciate Joshua’s regard for The Lindsay and our Emerging Filmmakers Showcase\,” says Theater CEO Carolina Thor. “The Lindsay is committed to supporting the region’s filmmaking industry and providing the opportunities for local audiences to share in the excitement of new films\, like Waltz.”

That quintette has been inseparable since grade school—that is\, until Nick finally gets engaged to a woman named Victoria. From that moment\, he seems to change. As far as the other four are concerned\, driving a wedge through such a tight friendship is unforgivable.

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival: The Hands of Orlac with Live Accompaniment by Pittsburgh Composers Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center’s spooky October kicks off in style next week with an assist from a local group dedicated to the exhibition and preservation of silent films. \n\n\n\nThe Pittsburgh Silent Film Society is gearing up for its second-annual Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival\, which will take place across multiple Western Pennsylvania locales from Sept. 29-Oct. 6. The Lindsay will host a Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival screening of the 1924 horror classic The Hands of Orlac on Thursday\, Oct. 3\, at 7:30 p.m. \n\n\n\n\nThe screening will be accompanied by live music courtesy of the Pittsburgh Composers Quartet\, which consists of multi-talented musicians Ben Opie\, Patrick Breiner\, Adam Kantz and Mark Micchelli. \n\n\n\nThe Hands of Orlac stars Conrad Veidt as Paul Orlac\, a famous concert pianist who loses his hands in a terrible accident. A surgeon replaces his hands with those of an executed murderer. It’s not long before Orlac is convinced these newly obtained hands have imbued him with their previous owner’s desire to kill. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“The Lindsay serves as a venue for all kinds of cinema\, from new releases and documentaries to a silent psycho-thriller like The Hands of Orlac\,” says Lindsay CEO Carolina Thor. “We welcome audiences to time-travel with us to experience the silent—sometimes scary—film era.” \n\n\n\nDuring last year’s inaugural Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival\, the Theater hosted a sold-out screening of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari\, a 1920 silent horror film that also stars Veidt and was also directed by Hands of Orlac helmer Robert Wiene. \n\n\n\n“The Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival is thrilled to team up again with The Lindsay and Ben Opie to present a 100th-anniversary screening of The Hands of Orlac\,” says Pittsburgh Silent Film Society founder Chad Hunter. “When the director and star of the silent masterpiece The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari collaborate again\, you know you are in for a classic\, twisted\, German expressionist treat.” \n\n\n\nAdds Thor: “We’re delighted to be partnering with the Pittsburgh Silent Film Society yet again to provide audiences with a rare opportunity to watch a classic film on the big screen\, with live music\, as it would have been seen 100 years ago.”

SUMMARY:Grandpa and Shorty
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nA grandfather and granddaughter forge a special connection in Grandpa and Shorty\, the next screening in The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center’s Emerging Filmmakers Showcase series. \n\n\n\n\nGrandpa and Shorty is a 51-minute drama about a military family who begins to repair fractured relationships by bonding over shared values. It hails from Pittsburgh-based White Ball Productions\, which was co-founded by Grandpa and Shorty director Jeff Balmert and writer John Rokosz. The goal of Grandpa and Shorty was always “to highlight the emotions and drama that military families struggle with everyday\,” explains Rokosz. \n\n\n\nThe Thursday\, Sept. 26\, screening starts at 7:30 p.m. with opening remarks by combat veteran and bestselling author Sean Parnell. The film will be immediately followed by a Q&A with Balmert and Rokosz. Tickets are free\, but guests are encouraged to RSVP in advance via The Lindsay’s website to ensure seating for all. \n\n\n\n\n“With a story aimed at bringing soldiers and civilians together\, we’re delighted to work with The Lindsay Theater to share this message free of charge with our hometown\,” says Rokosz. “We recognize the opportunities that The Lindsay Theater has given to emerging filmmakers in Pittsburgh and honor the contributions they’ve made to our beloved Pittsburgh community at large.” \n\n\n\nThis Pittsburgh-filmed project follows Al Androwski\, a 70-year-old Army veteran and grandfather (Howard Elson) whose wife recently died and whose estranged son (Curtis Caldwell) is currently serving as a medevac pilot in Afghanistan. Al is thrown for a loop when his daughter-in-law (Se Marie Volk) unexpectedly needs him to babysit his granddaughter (Tori Flanders). \n\n\n\nBalmert is a Duquesne University and Carnegie Mellon University graduate\, veteran filmmaker and experienced voiceover artist. Rokosz is a fellow Duquesne alumnus and classically trained musician who both composed and performed Grandpa and Shorty’s score. \n\n\n\n\n“Producing this film has been a 6-year labor of love\,” Rokosz continues. “I’m grateful for our team’s dedication\, and for our united belief in the film’s authentic message of faith\, family and duty. We can’t wait to share this story with our hometown\, the world at large\, and especially all active and veteran military families who we strive to honor through this film.”

SUMMARY:Documentary Series 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay’s Second Annual Documentary Series\, \n\n\n\nAugust 23 – September 5\n\n\n\nAs the 2024 summer movie season draws to a close\, The Lindsay invites everyone on a globe-spanning journey highlighting our collective humanity\, creativity and penchant for innovation. \n\n\n\nThe Lindsay’s second annual documentary series will provide our guests with eight specially curated films about everything from a sports icon to the women whose hard work is lifting their impoverished communities.  \n\n\n\nSome of these documentaries tackle issues of national—and sometimes international—importance. Two selections came to us from local production companies\, and one of our films gives long-overdue recognition to a widely used medical service that originated in 1960s Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeek 1: August 23 – August 29\, 2024\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommon Ground\n\n\n\nPG | 1h 45mDirectors: Joshua Tickell & Rebecca Harrell TickellStars: Rosario Dawson\, Jason Momoa\, Donald Glover\n\n\n\nFilmmaking duo Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell know their way around an environmental documentary. \n\n\n\nCommon Ground\, the Tickells’ recent followup to their influential 2020 film Kiss the Ground\, focuses on regenerative agriculture and how more widespread application of this unique (and cost-effective) farming technique could stem the effects of climate change. \n\n\n\n“The movie lays out a dire situation in its opening minutes and cranks up the klaxon as it goes\,” writes RogerEbert.com. Forbes describes Common Ground as a “brisk\, accessible and worthwhile watch” that also functions as “the most comprehensive feature to date on” the regenerative agriculture movement. \n\n\n\nCommon Ground features a slew of farmers and land management experts touting the potential life-saving benefits of regenerative agriculture. Celebrities like Jason Momoa\, Laura Dern\, Rosario Dawson\, Woody Harrelson and Donald Glover also serve as ambassadors for this potentially life-saving proposal. \n\n\n\n“We wrote Common Ground as a love letter to our children\,” the Tickells tell The Lindsay. “In a very real sense\, the film is an urgent call to action and a plan for how we can save the future\, heal our climate and fix our broken food system—all through regenerative agriculture.” \n\n\n\nSara Klingensmith\, an education associate with the Allegheny Land Trust\, will join us on Friday\, Aug. 23\, at 4:30 p.m. for a special talk on land preservation before that day’s 4:45 p.m. Common Ground screening. \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Common Ground\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nO Pioneer\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 13mDirector: Jonathan Lacocque & Clara LehmannStars: Nellie Rose Gundersen Davis\, Tim Hibbs\, James Morely\, Kaïa Kater\n\n\n\nThe folks who Walt Whitman described in his 1865 poem Pioneers! O Pioneers! wererugged adventurers who had the courage and endurance to build lives for themselves out West. But what does a modern American pioneer look like? \n\n\n\nThat’s the million-dollar question filmmakers Jonathan Lacocque and Clara Lehmann set out to answer in O Pioneer\, a 2023 documentary in which they follow three West Virginians who exemplify a pioneering spirit akin to those 19th-century American settlers. \n\n\n\nO Pioneer is an “immersive\, magical realist tapestry of life\,” raves Film Obsessive. This “must-watch movie” shines a spotlight on ordinary Appalachians while helping viewers “understand that we are all pioneers in life\,” writes Film Threat. \n\n\n\nLacocque and Lehmann examine what it means to be a 21st-century pioneer through their three subjects\, the vocal stylings of narrator Kaïa Kater\, archival footage and other cinematic techniques. They also make a point to portray this region with dignity and respect\, as Lehmann told 100 Days in Appalachia. \n\n\n\n“I want this film to give us some light and give us something we’re proud of\,” she says. “And I hope that West Virginians are proud of these three people because they really are special\, and they are you. And they’re us.” \n\n\n\nEach screening will also feature a video Q&A provided by the O Pioneer filmmaking team. \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to O Pioneer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMissing From Fire Trail Road\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 41mDirector: Sabrina Van TasselStars: Deborah Parker\, Deb Haaland\, Teri Gobin\n\n\n\nMary Ellen Johnson-Davis vanished without a trace in late 2020. Her disappearance is the jumping-off point for Missing from Fire Trail Road\, which spotlights the shocking number of murdered indigenous women whose cases remained unsolved. \n\n\n\n“Her story exposes how hundreds of indigenous women continue to go missing in the USA\, perpetuating trans-generational trauma on Indian reservations\,” explains the film’s website. \n\n\n\nJohnson-Davis was last seen on the Tulalip reservation near Seattle\, walking along Fire Trail Road. Director Sabrina Van Tassel’s documentary includes interviews with her family\, Tulalip leadership\, prominent indigenous activists and even U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland. \n\n\n\nThis “essential documentary…shines a light on the plight of a culturally rich segment of Americans that are literally going unnoticed and unaided\,” writes Film Threat. \n\n\n\n“Missing from Fire Trail Road is an incredibly heavy piece\,” adds Next Best Picture\, “but it’s the strength and resilience that this community embodies that sticks with you—as well as the message that they can’t fight this fight alone.” \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Missing From Fire Trail Road\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStop Making Sense\n\n\n\nPG | 1h 28mDirector: Jonathan DemmeStars: David Byrne\, Chris Frantz\, Tina Weymouth\n\n\n\nJonathan Demme redefined the horror genre with 1991’s The Silence of the Lambs\, which was shot in the Pittsburgh area and became one of the only films to ever win all five major Academy Awards categories. \n\n\n\nSeven years earlier\, Demme became the king of concert films with Stop Making Sense\, his epic rendering of the Talking Heads’ three-night engagement at Los Angeles’ Pantages Theatre in December 1983. \n\n\n\n“Mr. Demme has captured both the look and the spirit of this live performance with a daring and precision that match the group’s own\,” declares The New York Times. \n\n\n\nStop Making Sense is the best-reviewed concert film ever thanks to its 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film highlights lead singer David Byrne’s incomparable stage presence and boasts “rhythmic\, beautifully organized editing that invites involvement with the music\,” writes Empire Magazine.  \n\n\n\n“(The) bands’ infectious enthusiasm and Demme’s sleight of hand make this just about the best concert film ever made.” \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Stop Making Sense\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeek 2: August 30 – September 5\, 2024\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeat: The Story of Bourbon\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 15mDirector: David AltroggeStars: Steve Zahn\, Freddie Johnson\, Marianne Eaves\n\n\n\nBourbon aficionados: This one’s for you! \n\n\n\nNeat: The Story of Bourbon hails from David Altrogge\, the film’s director and a co-founder of local production company Vinegar Hill. This expansive documentary chronicles bourbon’s history\, how to make it\, and the American ideals still associated with this particular form of whiskey consumption. \n\n\n\n“Neat is not a movie about bourbon\,” Altrogge tells The Lindsay. “It’s a movie about friendship and community\, and legacy and craft. As a Pittsburgh-proud filmmaker\, I couldn’t be more excited to share this film with the community I’m so proud to be a part of.” \n\n\n\nAltrogge’s film is presented in vignettes that explore how bourbon grew to be arguably the most quintessentially American alcoholic beverage. You’ll meet plenty of master distillers\, farmers\, tasting experts\, connoisseurs and even actor (and avid bourbon enthusiast) Steve Zahn. \n\n\n\nNeat “is a true love letter to this whiskey category” that “really captured the beauty and history of this American spirit\,” declares Distiller. The film’s trailer had the Los Angeles Times hankering for some bourbon. \n\n\n\n“It’s enough to make you want to stop what you’re doing\, grab a bottle and run outside.” \n\n\n\nAltrogge will be at The Lindsay on Sunday\, Sept. 1\, at 2:45 p.m. for a Q&A preceding the 3 p.m. showing of Neat. \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Neat: The Story of Bourbon\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShe Rises Up\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 31m Directors: Maureen Castle TustyStars: Gladys Yupanqui\, Magatte Wade\, Selyna Peiris\n\n\n\nThe filmmakers behind She Rises Up were interested in exploring “the intersection of women and poverty and the power of work.” That’s why three fledgling businesswomen take center stage in director Maureen Castle Tusty’s globe-trotting narrative. \n\n\n\nThe film follows Gladys Yupanqui\, the owner of a Peruvian mini-market; Magatte Wade\, who founded a cosmetics manufacturing company in Senegal; and Selyna Peiris\, whose textile operation in Sri Lanka is ripe for expansion. \n\n\n\nShe Rises Up is an “eye-opening\, moving and empowering documentary\,” raves The NYC Movie Guru. Reason Magazine praises the film for treating Wade\, Yupanqui and Peiris “as complex individuals with mixed motivations.” \n\n\n\n“The result yanks the heartstrings without being sappy.” \n\n\n\nThese women all possess shrewd entrepreneurial instincts and use those inherent talents to provide for their families while also helping to improve their impoverished communities. As Wade puts it in the film: “To have a heart for the poor\, that’s easy. To have a mind for the poor\, that’s the challenge.” \n\n\n\nDirector Maureen Castle Tusty will participate in a live Q&A directly following the 7 p.m. She Rises Up screening on Friday\, Aug. 30. \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to She Rises Up\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFreedom House Ambulance – The FIRST Responders\n\n\n\nNR | 30mDirector: Annette BanksStars: Phil Hallen\, George McCrary III\, John Moon\n\n\n\nPittsburgh has a long history of innovation. Fun fact: This region is where the nation’s first emergency medical technician (EMT) service was founded. \n\n\n\nThe 2023 documentary Freedom House Ambulance—The First Responders tells the story of Freedom House Ambulance Service\, which originated in the Hill District and was staffed solely with Black paramedics trained to serve a community that was often overlooked by the city’s emergency services. \n\n\n\nThis 30-minute documentary was produced by WQED and contains interviews with one of Freedom House’s founders\, some of its initial recruits\, local historians\, longtime Hill District residents and more. \n\n\n\nFreedom House shut down in 1975\, but not before establishing a paramedic-training template that spread across the U.S. Director Annette Banks couldn’t bear the thought of Pittsburghers not knowing about Freedom House and set out to immortalize that landmark organization on film. \n\n\n\n“It was a little-known story\, with major impact\,” she tells The Lindsay. “It is no wonder that the city that brought us the polio vaccine would also pioneer emergency services. It was my privilege to meet and tell the story of the men and women of Freedom House.” \n\n\n\nJohn Moon\, a former Freedom House member and Pittsburgh EMS assistant chief\, and Minette Seate\, WQED’s Managing Director of Production\, will be on hand for a live Q&A directly following the 5 p.m. Freedom House screening on Thursday\, Sept. 5. \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Freedom House Ambulance – The FIRST Responders\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Is Stan Smith\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 35mDirector: Danny LeeStars: Stan Smith\, John McEnroe\, Pharrell Williams\n\n\n\nHow do you know Stan Smith? Maybe as the former No. 1 tennis player in the world with two major singles championships under his belt? Or as the name on those iconic Adidas tennis shoes that have sold more than 30 million pairs worldwide since 1971? \n\n\n\nThe 77-year-old sports legend is front and center in the aptly named Who Is Stan Smith?\, a 2022 documentary that reminds a generation of sports fans and fashionistas about the man behind such iconic footwear. \n\n\n\nWho Is Stan Smith? was executive produced by SpringHill Company\, a production outfit co-founded by NBA superstar LeBron James. The film features interviews with sports and cultural luminaries like fellow tennis star John McEnroe and music mogul Pharrell Williams. \n\n\n\nNo one can answer the film’s titular question\, though\, better than the man himself. Smith “comes across as warm\, friendly and compassionate” in this “slickly edited and well-paced” sports documentary\, praises NYC Movie Guru. \n\n\n\n“For as impressive as the sneakers are\,” writes Film Threat\, “Who Is Stan Smith? shows that the man is doubly so.” \n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Who Is Stan Smith?

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.

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: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:Theatrical Premiere for Judge Not
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nA single mom. An unexpected pregnancy. Snarky church-hall chatter. A tough decision. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThat’s the drama shared in Judge Not\, the next Emerging Filmmakers Showcase event on Thursday\, June 13\, at 7 p.m. at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center. \n\n\n\nBlanket Hill Productions\, based in Kittanning\, tackles how men and women grapple with their faith when facing major life decisions in this full-length feature (1 hr 50 min). Director Aaron Dunbar\, director of photography Travis Culley and other members of the team will host a Q&A session after the free screening. While the screening is free\, RSVPs are requested to ensure seating for all; the popular Showcase programming often reaches capacity. \n\n\n\nDunbar has a record of honors at the Chautauqua and Indie Gathering international film festivals\, Queen City Film Festival and CARE Awards.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDunbar\, a Clarion University grad and lifelong avid writer\, ventured into filmmaking after his second novel about a terminally ill girl’s desire to see Bigfoot (A Wish for Giants) fell into the hands of the cast for Finding Bigfoot and comedian Bobcat Goldthwailt. They encouraged Dunbar to turn the book into a movie\, and\, he says\, “Once I saw one of my stories on the big screen\, I knew I had to make more.” \n\n\n\nWhile Dunbar produced previous films\, Judge Not is the first developed by Blanket Hill Productions\, a club-based operation. Its principals developed the club—with committees dedicated to crew\, casting\, fundraising and scripting—to employ collective creativity and engage the expertise of members for faith-based filmmaking and story-telling.   \n\n\n\nThe multitude of committee voices has not slowed progress\, Dunbar says. Filmmakers share that Judge Not was shot in Kittanning over a 10-day stretch in August through the efforts of professional actors\, club members and local theater talents; with only one shoot in October to capture a large group scene. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Judge Not exemplifies the power of independent filmmaking\, demonstrating how dedicated individuals can create impactful stories\,” says Culley. “Join us at Blanket Hill Productions Film Club to pursue your cinema dreams and share your voice\, thanks to the support of venues like the Lindsay Theater.”

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:Steve Rudzinski's CarousHELL Trilogy
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nPittsburgh City Paper’s “Best Filmmaker” of 2023\, Steve Rudzinski\, will screen his indie horror sensation\, CarousHELL Trilogy\, at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center’s next Emerging Filmmakers Showcase\, Thursday\, May 16 at 7 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRudzinski\, of Coraopolis\, has garnered numerous awards from the indie horror community\, including a Lifetime Achievement Award for directing from Grossfest\, a horror convention; Best Feature Film of 2021 at the LA Indie Horror Fest\, and the 2023 Fangoria Chainsaw Award. His work is also a hit in Prague\, where a theater licensed the first CarousHELL film for six months of theatrical screening\, and found fan reaction so positive that it has also licensed parts 2 and 3. \n\n\n\nEmerging Filmmakers Showcase events\, a staple at The Lindsay\, were developed to accelerate filmmakers’ exposure and encourage exchanges between local artists and the public. \n\n\n\nDescribed as “equal parts hilarious\, heartwarming and bloody\,” the CarousHELL Trilogy—the story of a sentient carousel unicorn trying to raise his half-human son—will be screening in its entirety for the first time in the U.S.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRudzinski\, a horror fan since seeing Nightmare on Elm Street at age 3\, says he hopes to inspire younger creatives who are considering a career in filmmaking. “It really is possible to make movies yourself and get them into the public eye!” \n\n\n\nRudzinski serves as writer\, director and co-producer of the trilogy. Other regional cast and crew members include co-writer and co-producer Aleen Isley\, also of Coraopolis; director of photography and editor Scott Lewis of Mount Oliver; SFX designer Cody Ruch of Emsworth; and South Fayette Township native Rob Steinbock\, producer/co-producer of the first film. \n\n\n\nTotal running time is 220 minutes and includes brief intermissions between films. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Rudzinski and others involved in the project.  \n\n\n\nBig Spring Spirits\, a community-centric craft distillery based in Bellefonte\, Pa.\, will also be on hand with “CarousHELL-inspired” signature cocktails available for purchase. \n\n\n\nWhile the event is free\, RSVPs are requested to ensure seating for all.

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:Cryptids
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nCryptids\, a horror/comedy anthology that has garnered awards on the festival circuit and stars famed drive-in movie critic Joe Bob Briggs\, will screen as the latest offering in the Emerging Filmmakers Showcase at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center on Thursday\, April 25\, at 7:30 p.m.  \n\n\n\n\nAccolades for Cryptids include Best Feature and Best Horror Feature at GenreBlast 2023\, and the Jury Award at the 2024 Crimson Screen Horror Film Festival. \n\n\n\nProduced and with segments directed by Zane Hershberger of Wexford and Justin Seaman of Claysville\, Washington County\, the filmmakers call Cryptids “a love letter to creature features” that takes place during a paranormal radio call-in show hosted by Major Harlan Dean\, played by Briggs.  \n\n\n\n\nAs the phone lines open and callers discuss increasingly bizarre sightings of cryptids (creatures such as Bigfoot whose existence is rumored but has never been proven)\, Dean begins to question if real dangers lurk outside the station.   \n\n\n\nFree Showcase events\, a staple at The Lindsay\, have developed to accelerate filmmakers’ exposure and encourage exchanges between local artists and the public. The anthology includes eight chapters by seven artists\, and the 85-minute screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeveral segments were shot in Butler and Portersville\, Butler County; Washington and Claysville\, Washington County; and at the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant\, W.Va. \n\n\n\nHershberger\, an Art Institute of Pittsburgh graduate\, and Seaman\, a Robert Morris University alumnus\, met while working on Seaman’s first feature film\, The Barn\, and have collaborated for the past 11 years under their companies Silver Springs Films and Nevermore Productions Films. \n\n\n\n“I love telling stories; I always have since I was a kid\,” says Hershberger. “After writing a multitude of stories\, I wanted to see them visually come alive through the process of filmmaking.” \n\n\n\nThis event is free to the public but reservations are recommended as seats already are going fast. Rumor has it Bigfoot will need at least two seats so everyone behind him can see the screen.

(Update: The show is being pitched for streaming.) \n\n\n\n“After screening our sitcom at The Lindsay last spring\, it was obvious to me that the theater is a great gift to the community.

Our first two comedy shows have featured LA-based female comedians—Angelina Spicer and Nicole Travolta\,” says CEO Carolina Thor. “Now\, for the first time\, we have a Pittsburgh area native with years in the business bringing his latest to a home-town crowd.” \n\n\n\nRosenberg will draw from his experiences at national comedy clubs like the Laugh Factory and the Improv\, and at comedy festivals\, including Just for Laughs in Montreal\, Las Vegas\, Boston and New Orleans.  \n\n\n\nA host for CBS radio shows in Los Angeles and Seattle\, and for National Lampoon Radio on SiriusXM\, Rosenberg will be joined by Cook\, a nationally touring stand-up comedian who has appeared on ABC-TV and worked with the likes of Howie Mandel\, Drew Carey\, Robert Klein\, Chris Rock\, George Wallace and Rick Rockwell. \n\n\n\nCook\, who’s been sharpening his quick wit\, clean jokes\, easy style and hilarious songs since the 1980s\, regularly appears on many of the Burgh’s radio and TV stations.

SUMMARY:Freedom House Ambulance: The FIRST Responders
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nThey were truly the first responders. In 1967\, Pittsburgh produced America’s first EMT service: Freedom House Ambulance. This groundbreaking work\, performed solely by Black men and women from the Hill District\, became the basis for all paramedic training in the country.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheir story is told in the Mid-Atlantic Emmy-winning film Freedom House Ambulance: The FIRST Responders\, produced by Annette Banks of WQED-TV\, and screening Thursday\, March 28\, at 7 p.m.\, as part of The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center’s Emerging Filmmakers Showcase.  \n\n\n\nThe free showcase events\, a staple at The Lindsay\, are designed to accelerate filmmakers’ exposure and encourage exchanges between local artists and the public.  \n\n\n\n“The Lindsay is thrilled to present Freedom House Ambulance: The FIRST Responders as part of its Emerging Filmmakers Showcase\, helping to bring this piece of local history to the public’s attention\,” says Carolina Thor\, the Theater’s CEO. “We are particularly honored to have some of these trailblazers in attendance.” \n\n\n\nA Q&A after the screening will include filmmaker Banks\, Freedom House founder Phil Hallen\, and former Freedom House employee John Moon. \n\n\n\nUsing rare archival images\, the 28-minute documentary explores barriers faced by Freedom House Ambulance\, from Hallen’s story of inception to compelling reflections of the paramedic team\, stories of the world-renowned doctors who trained them\, and memories of the residents they served. \n\n\n\n“When I first learned about Freedom House Ambulance\, I knew that I had to tell this story\,” Banks says. “It was a little-known local story\, with major national impact. It was really exciting to meet some of the men and women from Freedom House who set the standard of pre-hospital care for our country\, and it was such a privilege to be able to produce the documentary to help spread the word about this amazing part of American history.” \n\n\n\nDespite the success of Freedom House Ambulance\, racism and power dynamics shut it down\, and faded its recognition in American history.  \n\n\n\nFreedom House: The FIRST Responders is “truly spectacular and a must-see for everyone in Pittsburgh and beyond\,” says the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research at the University of Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\n“The Freedom House team of men and women completely transformed the field of emergency medicine\,” observes BikePGH. “The model they created was replicated all over the country … it’s the basis for the city-run ambulance service today. And the documentary lets us hear from the people who made their neighborhood safer\, those who were on the team themselves.” \n\n\n\nThis event is free to the public but RSVPs are requested so that seating for everyone can be ensured.
