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

That quintette has been inseparable since grade school—that is\, until Nick finally gets engaged to a woman named Victoria. From that moment\, he seems to change. As far as the other four are concerned\, driving a wedge through such a tight friendship is unforgivable. They begin joking about how they would kill Victoria in order to save Nick from making “the worst mistake of his life.” Are they just kidding around\, though? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Phantoms\n\n\n\nThursday\, October 24 @ 8:15 P.M.\n\n\n\nAfter the death of their child\, a couple moves to a haunted house filled with ghosts.

This 1892-set ghost story features performances from Michael Moriarty—a renowned actor with an Emmy\, Tony and Golden Globe under his belt—alongside veteran thespians Veronica Cartwright (Alien)\, Dale Dickey (A League of Their Own) and Raymond Barry (Sudden Death).

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