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.

He played a used car salesman\, while Grammy winning\, General Hospital actor Rick Springfield was his rockstar dad. (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. I serve on the board of a local performing arts center on Bainbridge Island\, Washington\, and I realize the importance of non-profit theaters\,” says Rosenberg. \n\n\n\nFor the Cultural Center\, comedy shows are more often becoming an option. “The Lindsay is broadening its scope beyond film\, into different mediums. 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.

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:2024 Oscar Contest
DESCRIPTION:For film buff Nick Lumley\, 2023 was a great year for cinema. He loved seeing new\, thought-provoking films such as Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon\, and even a few unheralded gems. \n\n\n\nThe icing on the cake? As winner of The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center’s 2023 Oscar Contest\, he watched these films for free. \n\n\n\nNow The Lindsay’s Oscar Contest has returned for 2024\, again with the top prize of a free pass to the Theater for an unlimited number of screenings for the remainder of the year. The winner must successfully pick the Best Picture as well as the greatest number of winners among all 23 Oscar categories. \n\n\n\nThe Theater\, a nonprofit that has not raised ticket prices since opening in 2017\, offers this contest every year. Oscar-nominated films are being screened along with new releases until the Academy Awards Ceremony on Sunday\, March 10. This gives patrons plenty of opportunity to watch on the big screen\, ponder the artistry displayed and carefully mark their ballots. \n\n\n\n“Our patrons are passionate about film\, and that’s apparent every year at Oscar Contest time\,” says Carolina Thor\, CEO of the nonprofit cultural center. “So many people predict an amazing number of categories correctly! We look forward to seeing the 2024 winner here at the Theater for many exceptional films through Dec. 31.”  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLooking back on the year\, Lumley says he enjoyed seeing more people return to theaters—and appreciated watching original films not connected with a particular franchise. While he loved many of the Best Picture-nominated films—especially The Holdovers and Barbie—his favorite by far was Oppenheimer. \n\n\n\nDirector Christopher Nolan’s take on the making of the first atomic bomb “is the best film of the century so far\,” Lumley says—and unsurprisingly\, his pick for Best Picture. He loves everything about it: the directing\, the sound\, the cinematography\, Cillian Murphy’s acting in the lead role.  \n\n\n\nLumley also calls out Emma Stone’s performance in Poor Things—and Greta Lee’s un-nominated performance in Past Lives\, while noting “I’ve always been a big fan of Paul Giamatti\,” star of The Holdovers.  \n\n\n\nHis under-the-radar film recommendation is A Thousand and One\, which screened at The Lindsay in 2023\, starring Teyana Taylor as a single mother in a gentrifying New York City neighborhood. \n\n\n\nLumley\, who lives in Sewickley\, shares his contest bragging rights with other recent winners from Patterson Township and Big Beaver\, Beaver County.  \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to pick up Oscar ballots at the Theater Box Office\, 418 Walnut St.\, Sewickley\, during screening hours. Think like the Academy in making your predictions\, and remember to include your name\, email and phone number on the ballot. Whether due to knowledge or luck\, teens to seniors have won the year-long\, non-transferable pass. Ballots (one entry per person\, please) must be returned to the Theater Box Office by 8 p.m. on Saturday\, March 9.

SUMMARY:HIVE World Premiere
DESCRIPTION:ENCORE SHOW: February 4 @ 3:15 – 4:15 pm \n\n\n\n\nReserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nUPDATE: The 2 p.m. screening is “sold out\,” though seats are available for a newly added encore screening at 3:15 p.m.\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center kicks off its 2024 Emerging Filmmakers Showcase series with HIVE\, a heartfelt and touching look at Pittsburgh-area beekeeper and skilled carpenter Hank B\, showcasing his love for his winged companions\, and his dedication to sustainability and the art of spinning honey.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 25-minute film is directed by Moon Township resident Ryan Matthew Rust\, who has a special connection with the subject as Hank B’s nephew\, and features cinematography by Scott Township’s Ryan Kroboth\, who beautifully captures the vibrant bees and blooms surrounding Hank at work. \n\n\n\n“The Lindsay is thrilled to support the film industry through the Emerging Filmmakers Showcase for its third year\, working with local filmmakers to provide a big-screen opportunity for both artists and the public\,” says Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor\, the Theater’s CEO. “As gardeners and farmers know\, it’s the time of year to start planning\, so we hope this locally-set film about a Pittsburgher following his passion into beekeeping inspires others.” \n\n\n\nThe free showcase events\, a staple at The Lindsay\, are designed to encourage exchanges between local filmmakers and the public. A Q&A with the filmmakers will follow the screening. \n\n\n\nRust’s goal for HIVE was to tell a personal story while also conveying the importance of honey bees to life on earth\, subscribing to Albert Einstein’s thoughts that “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe\, then man would only have four years of life left.”  \n\n\n\n“I’m passionate about authentic stories\, and have consistently woven a raw and genuine approach into every project over the years\,” says Rust\, a nine-year veteran of the film industry. “I aim for audiences to depart not only with answers but also with lingering questions\, encouraging them to delve deeper into the themes explored.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Discovering my uncle’s involvement with honey bees years ago\, I was able to witness first hand the intricate process of honey extraction and the unique apiary he created. As a filmmaker and storyteller\, I soon realized that this compelling story deserved to be shared with a wider audience.” \n\n\n\nDirector/producer Rust collaborates with various production companies and storytellers across the nation\, producing an extensive body of work in creative visual storytelling. Cinematographer Kroboth career spans 11 years and includes projects with Elysian\, TCM\, CNN\, and Intrusion\, and a pivotal role in filming two seasons of the History Channel’s The Food That Built America. \n\n\n\nOther crew members include art director Caitlin Rust\, gaffer Jim McClain\, score composer Ryan Will Stewart\, and “noise stylist” Shawn Jackson of Red Caiman Studios. \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:Picture Proof
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\nPicture Proof\, a documentary film providing “an intimate look at the bonds that hold one West Virginia family together and the disease that threatens to tear them apart\,” will screen 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.  \n\n\n\n“Supporting the tri-state region’s film industry with Showcase events is part of The Lindsay’s mission\,” says Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor\, the Theater’s CEO. “We are especially honored to screen this documentary that brings an important perspective to an epidemic that sadly continues to ravage communities in Appalachia and beyond.” \n\n\n\nPicture Proof\, directed by Marshall University professor Tijah Bumgarner and University of Kentucky professor Jena Seiler\, follows Ashley from 2018 through 2021 as she struggles with addiction and gives birth to two children\, raising them with the help of her mother\, Debi Ellis. \n\n\n\nEllis will join the Q&A session with Bumgarner and Seiler after the 90-minute screening. \n\n\n\nAll three women have witnessed the impact of addiction in their own families; Bumgarner lost her father to an overdose. In making Picture Proof\, they chose to “push back against representations of addiction that too often perpetuate notions of personal failing and community apathy.”  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe directors share: “When we met Ashley\, she was luminous\, charismatic\, generous\, and kind. We were struck by how open she was about her past: being in the ‘madness’ (active addiction) and her decision to leave her newborn daughter (Piper) in order to get treatment. \n\n\n\n“During our three years of filming\, we witnessed Ashley give birth to her second child\, Asher\, the deep bond between Ashley\, Debi and Piper\, and the remarkable strength of these women as they faced the precariousness of recovery\, the turbulence of relapse\, and the despair of addiction.” \n\n\n\n“Picture Proof is the most honest portrayal of addiction I have ever had the honor to witness\,” said Katie Dellamaggiore\, independent award-winning director and producer not involved with this project. “This beautifully moving film doesn’t offer straightforward answers but rather wades into complex territory with the utmost patience\, grace and humanity.” \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: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:Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari with Live Accompaniment by Pittsburgh Composers Quartet
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Robert Wiene\, 1920) + the luminous short film Symphonie diagonale (Viking Eggeling\, 1923) with live accompaniment by Pittsburgh Composers Quartet. \n\n\n\nIn 1920\, one brilliant movie jolted the postwar masses and catapulted the movement known as German Expressionism into film history. That movie was The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari\, a plunge into the mind of insanity that severs all ties with the rational world. Director Robert Wiene and a visionary team of designers crafted a nightmare realm in which light\, shadow and substance are abstracted\, a world in which a demented doctor and a carnival sleepwalker perpetrate a series of ghastly murders in a small community. \n\n\n\nThe Pittsburgh Composers Quartet (Patrick Breiner: tenor saxophone\, clarinets; Adam Kantz: drums\, electronics; Mark Micchelli: piano\, keyboards; Ben Opie: saxophones\, clarinets\, electronics) draws on a variety of sources and techniques\, ranging from traditional and free jazz to modern classical techniques. Performances are lively\, unpredictable and fun! \n\n\n\nThe culmination of over a decade of silent film exhibition in the area\, the Pittsburgh Silent Film Society’s 1st Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival will take place September 24 to October 1\, 2023. Nine films will screen at eight venues around the Pittsburgh area\, with half a dozen musicians providing live accompaniment. The festival will coincide with the 3rd annual Silent Movie Day\, a world-wide celebration of silent film occurring each year on September 29 – a project which was co-founded in 2021 by Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival director Chad Hunter. Film director Martin Scorsese remarked on the effort: “This is exactly the kind of activist spirit we need right now in the world of cinema.”

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:Nicole Travolta: Doing Alright
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNicole Travolta—actor\, comedian\, impressionist—brings her internationally touring comedy show to The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center on Thursday\, Sept. 14\, at 7:30 p.m.\, in an exclusive\, one-night engagement. \n\n\n\n“We are fortunate that some of Nicole’s friends in Western PA convinced her to select The Lindsay for her first performance in Pennsylvania\,” explains Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor\, chief executive officer of the nonprofit cultural center. “Nicole just performed her show\, Doing Alright\, at the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival Fringe and promises to keep us entertained.” \n\n\n\nTravolta’s one-woman show is a searing account of life as a compulsive shopper who freed herself from spiraling debt\, shame\, a messy divorce and the weight of a famous last name by a bizarre\, real-life journey through the world of spray tanning. Surprisingly\, it was a job she loved\, and her impressions will introduce some of the eccentric characters she met to her audiences. (Travolta’s social media shares hilarious impressions of Sex and the City characters Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha Jones\, actors Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Coolidge\, and disgraced Theranos leader Elizabeth Holmes.) \n\n\n\nThrough humor\, Travolta lightens issues such as debt\, depression\, divorce\, addiction and female empowerment—all of which Travolta has experienced first-hand. And she shares how this journey helped her find herself once more. \n\n\n\n“I wanted to the audience to feel like they were going through the chaos of my life with me in real time\, and I believe we achieved this. Getting to do my show in Western PA will be my first East Coast stop and I’m so excited! Sewickley is one of my favorite towns\, and getting the opportunity to do this at The Lindsay Theater is a dream.” \n\n\n\nCo-written and directed by Lauren Burns\, well-known main company member of LA’s legendary comedy improv The Groundlings\, Doing Alright debuted with sell-outs at the Groundlings\, then moved to Las Vegas and Scotland\, with sights on New York and London. \n\n\n\nA Los Angeles Times review of Doing Alright notes Travolta “was incredibly honest and unafraid to talk about the aspects of money that are often considered taboo…. She coupled her best jokes with discussion about her lowest moments. Throughout the show\, Travolta admitted that she’s a work in progress\, and for now\, she’s doing all right.”

SUMMARY:AbSolved: Season 1 Local Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs part of its ongoing Emerging Filmmakers Showcase\, The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center will host AbSolved\, a 120-minute episodic narrative created and written by local actor and writer David Ogrodowsk and produced by LaTasia Greene\, Thursday\, Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. \n\n\n\nAbSolved\, a psychological thriller\, follows Father Demetrius\, a Catholic priest\, as he struggles with post-traumatic stress syndrome after witnessing a school shooting.   \n\n\n\nDemetrius\, played by Ogrodowski\, goes on an unexpected journey to understand his new circumstances and is bombarded with mysterious sounds\, haunting voices and ghostly visitors. His efforts to trace these strange occurrences takes him down a rabbit hole that pulls him further and further from the priesthood. \n\n\n\nFor Ogrodowski\, writing and acting are certainly a means of self-expression. “The more I create\, the more I live\,” he says. But he feels even more strongly about making a positive impact on others with his art. “We can take people away from the troubles in their lives\, and help them temporarily forget whatever is ailing them. So whenever I approach filmmaking\, I approach it with that in mind.” \n\n\n\nLeading the filmmaking crew are directors Kevin Hejna of Hazelwood and Jesse Hutchins of Moon Township; producers Greene of Pittsburgh and Edward Pfeifer of South Hills; editor James Harland Lockhart V of Bellevue and cinematographer Kevin Kukler of Belle Vernon. \n\n\n\nIn addition to Ogrodowski\, a Washington\, PA\, native who now lives on Pittsburgh’s North Side\, other actors involved in the production include Jason Burke of Munhall\, Ella Burke of Punxsutawney\, Phil Henderson of Canonsburg\, David Saint-Jacques of Sewickley and Curtis Caldwell of Pleasant Hills.  \n\n\n\nAbSolved\, shot mostly in the Pittsburgh area\, has earned over 30 nominations on the festival circuit and has won over a dozen awards including Best Suspense/Thriller and Best Actor (international) at the 2022 Seoul Webfest; Outstanding Thriller at the 2022 New Jersey Web Festival\, and Best Drama and Best Actor (Ogrodowski) at the 2022 Miami Web Fest.  \n\n\n\n“Pittsburgh is very well endowed with an army of dedicated independent filmmakers\,” Ogrodowski says. “Also\, If you can’t find a setting to shoot a narrative in in Pittsburgh\, you aren’t looking. Pittsburgh can be old Europe\, untouched woods\, modern cities\, country roads\, apocalyptic societies\, rich\, poor\, rivers and mountains—all sorts of amazing things for a camera to look at.” \n\n\n\nThe first season of AbSolved will be screened in its entirety\, along with the first episode of the second season\, for a total running time of two hours.  \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 “AbSolved-inspired” signature cocktails available for purchase. \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.

SUMMARY:Back to School Documentary Week
DESCRIPTION:Even if your life is no longer punctuated by the academic year\, back-to-school energy creates a fitting reason to explore different ideas and discover new topics. From Friday\, Sept. 1\, through Thursday\, Sept. 14\, The Lindsay will offer documentaries bound to expand your thoughts and provoke stimulating conversations.  \n\n\n\nThese are no dry classroom films—they’re dynamic\, template-breaking works that explore fascinating and potentially controversial topics. Join us on this journey of exploration and learning on the big screen. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\, talkbacks with filmmakers and other activities will provide dimension to select showings. Stay tuned for these special opportunities in our Weekly Updates or by visiting our website. \n\n\n\nEach documentary will screen on different times and dates during the series. Tickets are on sale now!  \n\n\n\nFor audience members 21 and older\, BYOB is available. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Join or Die\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin or Die\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 39mDirectors: Pete Davis\, Rebecca DavisStars: Pete Buttigieg\, Hillary Clinton\, Glenn Loury\n\n\n\nThis compelling film explores the changing fabric of American democracy through the lens of social scientist Robert Putnam\, who sounded the alarm on the dire consequences of nationwide individualistic trends and growing isolation. Join or Die follows Putnam as he pulls together the threads that expose America’s civic unraveling\, as revealed in his groundbreaking book Bowling Alone\, which discusses America’s decades-long decline in community connections. \n\n\n\nCredited with creating the concept and terminology of “social capital\,” the Harvard professor was awarded a National Humanities Medal for his work. \n\n\n\n“With such a dense subject matter\, one would assume the film begins to feel heavy and tiresome\, but Join or Die never overextends its audience\, keeping each moment light—much of the infusion of energy and light-heartedness coming from its visual aids and its main subject\, Putnam\,” says Film Inquiry. \n\n\n\n“It’s easy to feel charged up about something after watching a movie with an audience at a film festival\,” Slashfilm says. “But can that feeling last beyond the walk to your car when real life starts creeping back into your brain? I can tell you this much: days later\, I am still thinking about Join or Die and its message about community…If that isn’t the mark of a good documentary\, what is?” \n\n\n\nCo-director Pete Davis will join us virtually for Q&A after the 1:30 p.m. screening on Tuesday\, Sept. 12. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to King Coal\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKing Coal\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 20mDirector: Elaine McMillion SheldonStars: Lanie Marsh\, Gabrielle Wilson\n\n\n\nThis New York Times Critics’ Pick explores how the coal industry permeates the culture of Appalachia\, and questions what happens now amidst that industry’s steady decline. Directed by coal-miner’s-daughter-turned-filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon\, King Coal “profiles a region’s relationship with fossil fuel and presents a eulogy for a way of life.” \n\n\n\nShot in West Virginia and Pennsylvania\, among other states\, King Coal captures traditional coal-focused community events such as the annual Bituminous Coal Queen pageant in Carmichaels\, Greene County\, PA.  \n\n\n\n“There are fewer than 12\,000 coal miners left in West Virginia\, but the combination of the value\, power and danger of the rock in question means the job retains a mythic quality\,” says the Wall Street Journal\, praising Sheldon’s “breathtakingly expressive job of capturing the strangeness\, the beauty and the devastation of her homeland in this poetic\, entrancing documentary.” \n\n\n\nNoting her family’s four generation of miners\, WSJ continues: “Though the film is too short on footage of actual mining\, the few minutes of images we do see clarify that on its best day\, the experience is an alarming one. The worst days are ones we’d rather not think about as we flip the light switch. \n\n\n\n“The post-coal era can’t come fast enough for some. For others\, coal is at the heart of who they are and where they came from. ‘Some think place matters less today\,’ the filmmaker notes\,” the WSJ concludes. “Her lovely\, lyrical film makes a profound statement against that notion.”  \n\n\n\nElaine McMillion Sheldon\, writer\, director and co-producer\, will join us virtually for Q&A after the 2:50 p.m. screening on Wednesday\, Sept. 6. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Rumble\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 20mDirector: Elaine McMillion SheldonStars: Lanie Marsh\, Gabrielle Wilson\n\n\n\nThe powerful Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World is “revelatory in every sense\,” raves The Hollywood Reporter. It exposes the role of Native Americans in contemporary music history\, a critical missing chapter “eloquently demonstrated in this engaging documentary.” \n\n\n\n“American popular music—and the history of rock and roll itself—wouldn’t be the same without the contributions of Native American performers\,” The Hollywood Reporter observes. They influenced blues and jazz\, punk and rock\, crooners and headbangers\, starting in 1958 with Link Wray\, the mastermind of Rumble\, the only instrumental song banned from U.S. radio. \n\n\n\nAmong the top-name artists profiled is The Band guitarist/composer Robbie Robertson\, who passed away earlier this month. Robertson recalls being told when he was young\, “Be proud you’re an Indian\, but be careful who you tell.” The part-Mohawk artist also composed soundtracks for Martin Scorsese films Gangs of New York and The Departed. Scorsese is among the big names interviewed in the film\, alongside multi-genre musicians Steven Van Zandt\, Wayne Kramer and Iggy Pop\, crooner Tony Bennett\, bluesman Taj Mahal\, folk’s Buffy Sainte-Marie and funk master George Clinton.  \n\n\n\n“The winning streak for music documentaries continues with Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World\, says the New York Times. “If you couldn’t name two Native American musicians at the beginning of the documentary\, you’ll remember at least a half-dozen after the end. And it’s a good bet you’ll be searching for their albums\, too.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Tiny Shoulders: Rethinking Barbie\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTiny Shoulders: Rethinking Barbie\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 32mDirector: Andrea Blaugrund NevinsStars: Richard Dickson\, Kristina Duncan\, Michelle Chidoni\n\n\n\nDid this 2018 documentary successfully predict 2023’s blockbuster and global phenomenon? Tiny Shoulders: Rethinking Barbie looks back on the past 60 years of this foot-high icon\, featuring unprecedented access to the inner workings of the toy giant Mattel during Barbie’s most recent reinvention and examining her popularity and impact on women and culture. \n\n\n\n“What does a plastic doll have to say about feminism? Everything\, (the) documentary argues\,” The Atlantic says\, hailing Director Andrea Blaugrund Nevins’ film as “fascinating.”  \n\n\n\n“From her very conception\, Tiny Shoulders reveals\, Barbie was problematic. Prior to her creation\, the only toy dolls available for children came in the form of babies…” The Atlantic continues. \n\n\n\nIs Barbie “an empowering toy that encourages girls to dream big and\, in doing so\, helps them define their feminist identities? Or is she the embodiment of an unrealistic\, and thus harmful\, vapid sexist ideal\, making women of all ages feel bad about themselves and their bodies?” asks Variety. “Nevins’ documentary suggests that the answer to both questions is yes.” \n\n\n\nIf you can’t get enough of Barbie or have been waiting for a more intellectual take on the doll\, this one’s for you! \n\n\n\nProducer\, director and writer Andrea Blaugrund Nevins will join us virtually for Q&A after the 5:15 p.m. screening on Friday\, Sept. 1. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Behind the Stage Door\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBehind the Stage Door\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 21mDirector: Brian StorkStars: Rich Engler\, Doc McGhee\, Alex Lifeson\n\n\n\nHaving promoted concerts of Bob Marley\, Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney\, Sewickley resident Rich Engler has been the driving force behind vibrant concert scenes in Pittsburgh and across the nation. \n\n\n\n“Few figures in 20th-century rock music—and\, in all likelihood\, no one based in Pittsburgh—had more impact on modern music than Rich Engler\,” says Pittsburgh Magazine. “He had a profound impact on live music during the heyday of what we now call classic rock.”   \n\n\n\nThe son of a Creighton\, Pa.\, glassworker\, Engler began his professional life as a drummer for Grains of Sand\, which opened for the likes of David Bowie\, the Beach Boys\, the Yardbirds and Yes.  \n\n\n\nBehind the Stage Door\, “inspired by Engler’s 2012 book of the same title\, covers everything from the intricacies of the music industry to Engler’s insider stories of high-living rock-stars\,” reports WESA-FM. “The film features interviews with members of bands like Rush\, Kansas\, and Styx and local notables Donnie Iris and Joe Grushecky.” \n\n\n\n“Engler could fill a 10-hour documentary with the tales he has to tell\,” like juicy tidbits regarding Bob Dylan\, Eric Clapton and Axl Rose\, and the emotional story of a very ill Bob Marley’s final show in 1980\, notes the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. \n\n\n\nYou know the name; now learn the back story of this fascinating Pittsburgher and his many brushes with fame. \n\n\n\nRich Engler will be at the Theater after the 4 p.m. Monday\, Sept. 11\, screening for Q&A and a book signing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Live the Stream\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLive the Stream: The Story of Joe Humphreys\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 33m Directors: Lucas Bell\, Meigan BellStars: Joe Humphreys\, Johanna Humphreys\n\n\n\nBack by popular demand! This Pennsylvania-made charmer was a favorite in The Lindsay’s Summer Classic Series.  \n\n\n\nWhen you think of fly-fishing\, the crystal streams and towering mountains of the American West may come to mind\, but an internationally known fly fishing giant plies his trade in lovely central Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\nLive the Stream: The Story of Joe Humphreys is “a beautiful wade in the water” with “a 90-year-old rock star of the fly fishing world\,” according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Husband and wife filmmakers (Lucas and Meigan Bell\, originally from Cheswick and Sarver) spent a year following fishing legend Joe Humphreys\, of the State College area\, to his favorite fishing holes\, creating a documentary praised by audiences and critics on festival circuits from Breckenridge\, CO\, to Reading\, PA.  \n\n\n\n“Trout streams are fountains of youth for Joe Humphreys: a man who was born to fly fish\, lives to teach and strives to pass on a respect for our local waters\,” shares Fins and Feathers. “Far more than a fly fishing film\, this character story about the one-of-a-kind Joe Humphreys is an emotional and powerful narrative about aging\, family\, friendships and the power of positive influence.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Venice: Infinitely Avant-Garde\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenice: Infinitely Avant-Garde\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 30mDirector: Michele MallyStars: Hania Rani\, Carlo Cecchi\n\n\n\nThe gondolas\, the bridges\, the mysterious alleyways. Whether you’ve been there or not\, we invite you to the delightful Venice: Infinitely Avant Garde.  \n\n\n\n“Every corner in Venice\, every canal\, leads you toward a dreamlike dimension\,” says one of the lovers of this magical city interviewed for the film. \n\n\n\nFor 1\,600 years\, Venice has always been known for its openness to the world and to the future through its art as well as its narrow streets. The film showcases masterpieces by Tiepolo\, Canaletto\, Rosalba Carriera and the intellectuals who fell in love with Venice: Goethe\, Byron and Walter Scott\, down to the great Hollywood stars drawn to its unique\, yearly Film Festival. \n\n\n\nCombining decadence with cutting-edge excitement\, Venice has always been a cosmopolitan city of commercial and cultural exchange with the East. \n\n\n\nBring along your favorite travel companion and learn how this city has conserved its unique urban environment made of stone\, earth and water\, and its legendary history. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to Every Body\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvery Body\n\n\n\nR | 1h 32mDirector: Julie CohenStars: Sean Saifa Wall\, Alicia Roth Weigel\, River Gallo\n\n\n\n“Every Body is a moving\, fascinating look at a too-often-ignored subset of the world’s population\, filled with empathy and understanding but also a cool\, analytical anger about what history has put them through\,” says Roger Ebert. “The subject is intersex people.” \n\n\n\nThe “I” in L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.+\, intersex people are born with physical\, chromosomal or hormonal characteristics that are consistent with both males and females. Some are raised as a certain gender\, and some are surgically altered to make them look more like one gender. \n\n\n\nThe film focuses on three intersex people advocating for greater understanding of the intersex community: Sean Saifa Wall\, Alicia Roth Weigel and River Gallo\, who seek to end to unnecessary surgeries. \n\n\n\n“Director Julie Cohen and her editor Kelly Kendrick interweave the three main stories and troves of accompanying historical and medical facts with admirable economy and imagination\,” says Roger Ebert. “Stylistically this is one of the cleanest American documentaries of the year. A lot of information is packed into the movie’s brief running time\, but Every Body never feels cluttered.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets to 5 Seasons\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFive Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf\n\n\n\nNR | 75mDirector: Thomas PiperStar: Piet Oudolf\n\n\n\nPiet Oudolf\, the world’s most celebrated garden designer\, is known for his groundbreaking work on New York’s High Line\, Chicago’s Lurie Gardens and Philadelphia’s Calder Gardens\, “meticulously cultivating some of the urban world’s great outdoor spaces\,” says the Village Voice. \n\n\n\n“If there’s a rock star garden designer worthy of a biopic\, then Piet Oudolf is probably the one\,” says Gardenista.   \n\n\n\nFilmmaker Thomas Piper captures Oudolf ‘s creative process in Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf. “For gardeners everywhere\, the film is a tantalizing 75 minutes in which to lose yourself in one man’s vision and passion\,” raves Gardenista. \n\n\n\nIn the documentary “chock-full of spark and life…it’s enchanting to see Oudolf’s gentle joy at discovering swathes of Technicolor wildflowers in the Texan countryside—and it’s just as satisfying to watch his bemused reaction to barbecue\,” the Village Voice concludes. “Piper’s cinematography (whether through a sunny haze or a snowy blanket) and contemplative storytelling have done these gardens justice.”

SUMMARY:Hairspray
DESCRIPTION:Click for Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPG | 1h 32m| Comedy/DramaDirector: John WatersStars: Sonny Bono\, Ricki Lake\, Divine \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCome for the big hair\, the dance numbers and the ’60s nostalgia. Stay for a heartwarming story about acceptance and overcoming racial barriers. \n\n\n\nTracy Turnblad is an overweight Baltimore high school student who loves watching local teen dance program The Corky Collins Show. When Tracy is spotted at a record hop by Corky\, she is invited to join his show—which is segregated. Her slick dance moves make her the star of the show\, and she uses her newfound fame to advocate for integration. \n\n\n\n“Controversial filmmaker John Waters finally hits his commercial stride in this film\, parlaying his keen social observation and great compassion for society’s outsiders into a colorful and engaging comedy full of dancing\, music and heartfelt nostalgia\,” says TV Guide. The sweet and upbeat Hairspray was a big departure for Waters\, previously know for making X-rated cult films. \n\n\n\nWaters told the Los Angeles Times that when he put out a call for an overweight teenager to play Tracy\, almost no one showed up. “Thank God\, one of them was Ricki Lake\,” he said. “But Ricki would have gotten the part even if thousands of them showed up.” \n\n\n\n“Tracy became the poster child for anyone who felt like an outcast\, who didn’t fit in\,” Lake told the Times. “I mean\, she’s a superhero for so many young girls. I love that her spirit and the character has lived on.” \n\n\n\nThe New York Times declares “the overall mood of Hairspray is so joyful\, so full of unforced enthusiasm\, that only the most ferocious cynic could resist it. It imagines a world where no one is an outsider and no one is a square\, and invites everyone in. How can you refuse?”

SUMMARY:Vertigo
DESCRIPTION:Click for Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPG | 2h 8m| Mystery/Romance/ThrillerDirector: Alfred HitchcockStars: Jimmy Stewart\, Kim Novak\, Barbara Bel Geddes \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRanked as the No.1 greatest film ever made in a much-talked-about 2012 poll conducted by the British Film Institute’s magazine Sight and Sound\, Vertigo is “classic (Alfred) Hitchcock—suspense\, mystery\, romance\, all wrapped around twisted human psychology\,” says Big Think. \n\n\n\nIndiana\, PA\, native Jimmy Stewart plays Scottie Ferguson\, a private detective terrified of heights who retired from the police force after a tragic incident. He is hired by an old friend to tail his wife\, who is suspected to be suicidal. Scottie develops a relationship with this mysterious woman that turns into obsession. \n\n\n\nLegendary director Martin Scorsese\, writing in The Guardian\, says\, “It’s difficult to put into words exactly what Vertigo means to me as both a film lover and as a film-maker. As is the case with all great films\, truly great films\, no matter how much has been said and written about them\, the dialogue about it will always continue. Because any film as great as Vertigo demands more than just a sense of admiration—it demands a personal response.” \n\n\n\nThe New York Times calls the film “brilliantly schematic\, endlessly fascinating…this prescient 1958 spellbinder can now be admired as the deepest\, darkest masterpiece of Hitchcock’s career.”
