The film was a huge commercial as well as critical hit\, the highest-grossing film since Gone With the Wind in both the United States and United Kingdom. \n\n\n\n“You’ll be entertained; you’ll be thrilled; you’ll be spiritually elevated by it\,” raved the Miami Herald. “The Best Years of Our Lives takes its place among the 10 most emotionally moving motion pictures we’ve ever seen.” \n\n\n\n“One of the best pictures of our lives\,” says Variety. \n\n\n\n“The Best Years of Our Lives is beloved by so many of our club members. We are thrilled to see it again\, and to introduce it to those who have not yet seen it\, ” 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.

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: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.
