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?”

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.”

SUMMARY:Oppenheimer & Shippingport\, PA: WWII’s Atomic Era Made Global History in Our Backyard
DESCRIPTION:Headlines carry the widely known fact that people around the globe are flocking to theaters for this summer’s smash film\, Oppenheimer. But theatergoers might not know that more than 1\,200 local and international dignitaries flocked to Shippingport\, Beaver County\, nearly 70 years ago for the groundbreaking ceremony for the world’s first commercial atomic power plant. \n\n\n\nThose who have or want to watch Oppenheimer or simply to learn more about the region’s role in atomic history can hear a local expert at the Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center on Sunday\, Aug. 6.  \n\n\n\nAfter J. Robert Oppenheimer and his team cracked the life-altering code of atomic fission\, ending World War II\, General-turned-President Dwight D. Eisenhower inaugurated the Atoms for Peace program to make civilian use of atomic power.  \n\n\n\nThus\, the Shippingport Atomic Power Station came to pilot the world’s first commercial use of this technology near the banks of the Ohio River\, forever altering life in the bucolic Beaver County town of farms and ferry boats—and around the globe. Built under a politically sensitive deadline and the exacting oversight of Adm. Hyman Rickover\, who led the Navy’s nuclear submarine program\, Shippingport Atomic Power Station was online from 1958-1982\, leading to next-generation nuclear plants like Beaver Valley 1 and 2. \n\n\n\nConnections between the smash film and local history will be fleshed out on Sunday\, Aug. 6\, promptly at 2:30 p.m. at a free\, 15-minute presentation by Jim Clark\, a current nuclear operator at the Beaver Valley Power Station and docent at the Beaver County Industrial Museum\, before The Lindsay’s afternoon screening of Oppenheimer. \n\n\n\nIn addition to the free talk\, The Lindsay is exhibiting a pictorial history of the construction of the power plant\, on loan from the Beaver County Industrial Museum.

SUMMARY:Breakfast at Tiffany's
DESCRIPTION:Click for Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 55mh | Comedy/Drama/RomanceDirector: Blake EdwardsStars: Audrey Hepburn\, George Peppard\, Patricia Neal \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nA strong local connection bridges the legendary\, New-York-based Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Pittsburgh: The memorable\, Oscar-winning music of Aliquippa-raised Henry Mancini. The 1961 adaptation of Truman Capote’s novel is perhaps Audrey Hepburn’s most iconic role. \n\n\n\nBBC calls Breakfast at Tiffany’s “chic Hollywood comedy at its finest\,” led by Hepburn’s “wickedly kooky and intoxicating performance…she bridges a gap between female and male viewers\, offering so much to like and plenty to sympathise with.” \n\n\n\nHepburn plays Holly Golightly\, a young woman who epitomizes “madcap” and chases away any bad feelings by visiting Tiffany’s. She makes her living in questionable ways\, though that doesn’t stop her neighbor\, a young writer named Paul Varjak\, from falling in love.  \n\n\n\n“Hepburn’s Holly Golightly is a kind of exaggerated emblem of who we all become—at least for a time—when we move away from home and have the freedom to reintroduce ourselves to the world\,” The Guardian says. “Breakfast at Tiffany’s sort of belongs to everyone\, whether they know it or not.”  \n\n\n\nThe Lindsay is partnering with P.E.O. Chapter BN (Sewickley) for a Movie & Muffins Ladies’ Night Out prior to the screening\, from 6-7 p.m. Willow Bend muffins will be available for purchase in the lobby\, with proceeds from the sales going to support P.E.O.\, an organization benefiting women. Also\, Big Spring Spirits will be on hand\, selling cocktails inspired by the film. The International Chapter of the P.E.O. Sisterhood is a philanthropic and educational organization that has been celebrating women and helping them reach for the stars for more than 150 years\, providing millions of dollars in educational loans and grants.

Is he someone you’ll want to watch for an hour or so?” Lucas Bell asks the Post-Gazette. “Within two minutes of meeting Joe\, you realize how unique he is\, and engaging and charismatic. When he tells a story\, you don’t want him to stop.” \n\n\n\nLive the Stream was named the Best Adventure Film and Audience Award winner at the 2019 Breckenridge\, Colo.\, Film Festival\, the Best Documentary and Best of Show Audience Award at the 2018 Reading Film Festival. The documentary has been an official selection of multiple national and international film festivals\, drawing senior citizens\, outdoor lovers\, environmentalists and fisherfolk.

Now restored and digitally remixed\, this documentary on the National Film Registry highlights performances by Isaac Hayes\, Albert King\, Rufus\, and Carla Thomas. The Staple Singers\, the Bar-Kays and a new-on-the-scene comedian\, Richard Pryor. Al Bell\, then executive of the iconic Stax R&B label\, recalled that historic\, exhilarating day in 1972: “It was the happiest moment in my life. Just go and take a look at the documentary. Really see what you’re seeing. Hear what’s being said. Listen to the words and music of the songs. Because it all tells a complete story from the first song to the last song.” \n\n\n\nDirector Mel Stuart “uses the music as an expression of common feeling\,” says Time magazine. He “gives the people a voice\, and the tone is insistent and important.”  \n\n\n\n“It’s a rich tapestry incorporating documentary footage—the ’65 riots\, interviews with Watts residents talking about being Black in America—that puts its musical performances (staged by Melvin Van Peebles) in a broad social context\,” shares the Chicago Reader. \n\n\n\n“Wattstax is funny\, funky\, tragic and triumphant\,” says Gannett News Service.”

SUMMARY:Penguin Bookshop presents The First Ladies
DESCRIPTION:Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center\, in partnership with the Penguin Bookshop\, today announced an exclusive preview book signing and discussion event for the latest novel by Marie Benedict (the pen name of Sewickley native and Pittsburgher Heather Terrell) and Victoria Christopher Murray\, one of the country’s top contemporary authors. \n\n\n\nAt the Monday\, June 26\, 7-9 p.m. event at The Lindsay Theater\, 418 Walnut St.\, Sewickley\, Benedict and Murray will sign copies of The First Ladies and talk about this historical novel which tells the story of the extraordinary partnership between First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune. The book will not be released to the public until the day after the event. Big Spring Spirits\, a Bellefonte-based distillery with a store in Sewickley\, will offer cocktails for sale. \n\n\n\nAdvance registration is required for this ticketed event. Admission includes a copy of the book\, which will be available for pickup at the event. \n\n\n\n“We are thrilled to welcome these two exceptional authors to Sewickley and to welcome Benedict back to her hometown\,” said Susan Hans O’Connor\, Penguin Bookshop owner. “It is a wonderful symbiosis celebrating women: two talented writers tell the story of two amazing women who changed history. We’ve been eagerly awaiting the publication of The First Ladies and we are delighted to be able to offer this exclusive sneak preview to a local audience. We expect the evening to be enlightening\, educational—and fun.” \n\n\n\nThe First Ladies tells of “two different\, yet equally formidable\, passionate and committed women\, and the way in which their singular friendship helped form the foundation for the modern civil rights movement\,” according to publisher Penguin Random House. \n\n\n\nBethune\, the daughter of formerly enslaved parents\, marches as an activist and educator. As her reputation grows\, she becomes a celebrity recognized by titans of business and U.S. presidents. When she meets Eleanor Roosevelt\, the two are drawn together by their shared beliefs in women’s rights and the power of education. Roosevelt grows into a controversial First Lady for her outspokenness\, particularly on civil rights. \n\n\n\nPreviously\, Murray and Benedict authored together the New York Times best seller and Good Morning America Book Club pick The Personal Librarian\, and both are prolific authors in their own right. \n\n\n\nMurray has written more than 20 novels and has more than a million books in print. Over the course of her career to date\, Murray has received an NAACP Image Award\, the Phillis Wheatley Trailblazer Award for African American Fiction\, and nine African American Literary Awards\, as well as a Library Journal Best Book of the Year. She holds an MBA from the New York University Stern School of Business. \n\n\n\nBenedict\, a lawyer with more than 10 years of litigation experience\, is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of numerous historical fiction works\, including The Only Woman in the Room\, The Mystery of Mrs. Christie\, Carnegie’s Maid\, The Other Einstein and Lady Clementine. \n\n\n\nThe pair’s previous effort\, The Personal Librarian\, was named a Best Book of the Year by NPR and a Notable Book of the Year by the Washington Post. It unveiled the story of Belle da Costa Greene\, the Black woman forced to hide her identity as she worked in J.P. Morgan’s library alongside New York’s social elite. Good Morning America called it “historical fiction at its best.”

SUMMARY:"Their Story" Sewickley Valley African-American history documentary director reveal
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe selection of a director/filmmaker to lead the production of a documentary film focused on Sewickley Valley’s Black community will be announced at a free event on Sunday\, June 25\, at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center (formerly The Tull Family Theater). \n\n\n\nEarly in 2022\, community members gathered to review digitized photos of Sewickley’s African American community from the early 1900s to present. The preservation and accessibility of these images—first collected by the Sewickley Community Center and the Daniel B.

SUMMARY:The 90s Club: Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:After screening The 90s Club\, filmgoers will join a discussion about the issues facing today’s 90- somethings. The screening of the award-winning documentary (Best Feature Film at the Manhattan Film Festival) will begin at 1 p.m. and will be followed by a 2:30 p.m. discussion in The Lindsay’s Community Room. Film producer and Gibsonia resident Sheri Ward will attend and participate in the discussion. While admission is free\, registration is requested online. \n\n\n\nThe 90s Club hands the microphone to 12 charming people in their 90s and turns aside any easy preconceptions about people of their age. They’re enjoying a great sense of well-being while gracefully accepting life’s ups and downs. \n\n\n\nThe documentary features a dozen diverse individuals including actor Dick Van Dyke\, a Cleveland man who survived three concentration camps during the Holocaust\, a still-practicing attorney who represented Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks\, a 99-year-old woman who taught in a one-room schoolhouse and the world’s oldest performing drag queen. \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfEyvn6xv3o\n\n\n\n\nThey candidly talk about death and loss\, but also about love and connection\, about accomplishment and meaning. Through their touching\, sometimes humorous and reflective stories\, they offer insight on how one can become so wise through life experience. \n\n\n\n“Part of the reason of this documentary was to show that there is not only plenty of life\, but intelligence\, wisdom and reflection in your 90s\,” director Robert Darwell told the Los Angeles Business Journal. Additionally\, Darwell intended to highlight how the elderly and their interests are often sidelined alongside other issues. \n\n\n\n“Over the last decade\, among a lot of attention on social justice for different groups—while well needed—one group I felt like wasn’t getting a lot of attention still was the very elderly\,” he said. “And yet the one common denominator for all of us\, if we’re lucky to get there\, is that we’ll all be old. All of us at some point get to be an older person and there is an immediate prejudice of sorts when you think of someone in their 80s or 90s and people prejudge that they’re not going to be as ‘with it.’” \n\n\n\n“A young frame of mind is very important\, especially when you get older\,” says one interviewee.

SUMMARY:Titanic
DESCRIPTION:James Cameron’s Titanic is an epic\, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic; the pride and joy of the White Star Line and\, at the time\, the largest moving object ever built. The “ship of dreams” ultimately carried over 1\,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15\, 1912. The film won of 11 Oscars and still provokes debate 25 years after its release. \n\n\n\nThe powerful draw of Titanic relates to “more emotional\, less commercial reasons\,” according to the New York Times. “Titanic tells a story that is perceived to be true; it is a tragic love story of operatic dimension because the denouement is known; it demonstrates the terrifying and mystical power of nature\, and it has in Leonardo DiCaprio a fated working-class hero with whom teenage girls fall in love.” \n\n\n\nBrian Gleeson\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Brian Gleeson\, the Harry S. Tack Chaired Professor of Materials Science and Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Pittsburgh\, specializes in physical metallurgy and the impact of temperature on metallic alloys and coatings. Before the screening\, Dr. Brian Gleeson will share how steel materials have advanced since the brittle steel that fails at low temperatures was used to build the luxury ocean liner that sunk in iceberg-strewn waters. \n\n\n\n“Titanic was a box office gamble at the time due to its tumultuous production and lack of recognizable actors (DiCaprio and Winslet weren’t A-listers yet)\, but it ended up being a monumental success\, scoring high praise from critics and becoming the highest-grossing film of all time until 2010\, when the original Avatar (also directed by Cameron) took its place\,” says Collider\, reporting on the film’s 25th anniversary re-release. Initially\, Collider called this epic “the most important disaster movie ever made.” \n\n\n\n“This movie behemoth still has the power to shake us rigid and touch the soul.” Times (UK) \n\n\n\n“Cameron is a genius at instilling narrative dread and designing a hokum-drenched fairy tale of a certain size.” Chicago Tribune \n\n\n\n“Titanic is big\, bold\, touchingly uncynical filmmaking.” Newsweek.

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

DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center is honored to host a free community event marking the kickoff of Their Story: The History of the African American Community in Sewickley\, on Sunday\, Feb. 26\, 5 to 7 p.m. \n\n\n\nAfter last year’s first standing-room-only event to preview the digitization of photos dating back to the 1900s\, collected from the Sewickley Community Center and the Daniel B.

SUMMARY:2023 Oscar Ballot Contest
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center (formerly The Tull Family Theater) has upped the ante for its annual Oscar contest. \n\n\n\nThe Theater will screen as many Oscar-nominated films as possible between Friday\, Feb. 17\, through the Academy Awards Ceremony on Sunday\, March 12. This gives patrons plenty of opportunity to watch on the big screen\, channel the Academy’s reactions–and increase their odds of winning a pass good for watching films at the Theater for the rest of 2023. \n\n\n\nTo win big\, they’ll have to nail the Best Picture and successfully predict the most winners in all other 23 Oscar categories. \n\n\n\n“Competition for the Oscars and our Oscar contest is always fierce\, and it’s amazing how closely so many people’s choices align with the Academy’s\,” says Carolina Thor\, CEO of the nonprofit cultural center. “To celebrate our name change to The Lindsay earlier this year\, we’ve decided to extend cinematic privileges to the winner for the rest of the year instead of only one visit. This means if the winner wants to watch a film for free every day\, from March 13 to Dec. 31\, they can. If the winner would rather binge and spend a whole day in our screening rooms\, they can. And if they want to do something in between\, well\, we’re happy to see them at the Theater!” \n\n\n\nOscar ballots are available only at the Theater\, 418 Walnut St.\, Sewickley\, and can be picked up by patrons watching films starting when the first Oscar nominees roll on Friday\, Feb. 17. Make your best predictions as to who will take home the statuettes this year\, and remember to include your name\, email and phone number on the ballot. Ballots (one entry per person\, please) must be returned to the Theater by 8 p.m. on Saturday\, March 11. \n\n\n\nMay the region’s sharpest–or luckiest–film buff win! Pass is non-transferable.

SUMMARY:Slow Drift Film Festival 2023
DESCRIPTION:Inaugural Female-Produced Film Festival Coming to The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center \n\n\n\nThe Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center will host the inaugural film festival of Slow Drift Productions on Thursday\, Jan. 5\, at 7 p.m. \n\n\n\nTen shorts\, curated by Zoe Xandra\, founder of Pittsburgh-based Slow Drift Productions\, share thriller\, horror and sci fi works of women in Pennsylvania and New York. \n\n\n\n“Horror and thriller films have been long affiliated with the region because of the work of the late George Romero\, yet in the five decades since Romero first released his films\, women have not been widely recognized for their work in these genres\,” Xandra says. “This festival seeks to change that and encourage women’s artistic development.” \n\n\n\nAdmission to the festival is free\, but seating is limited\, so reservations are requested at the Theater’s website. Given the themes\, the festival is recommended for mature audiences. \n\n\n\nXandra\, a Mount Lebanon native now living in The Strip District\, created Slow Drift as a collective before graduating from Point Park University’s Cinema Arts program in 2020. As a Teaching Assistant in the Theater’s youth career readiness program this past summer\, she learned that the Theater makes its screening room available to local filmmakers for free and decided to launch the festival in Sewickley. \n\n\n\nThe Theater’s Emerging Filmmakers Showcase supports local artists\, builds their audiences and more closely engages the community in the creative process\, says Theater CEO Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor. “Response from the community has been tremendous\,” Thor shares. \n\n\n\nThe two hours of festival films will be followed by award presentations in the Theater’s Community Room. \n\n\n\nFestival films\, listed in order of screenings\, are: \n\n\n\n\nCamp Moose Tracks: A boy shipped off to summer camp slowly realizes that he’s the last ingredient for the camp cult.
