SUMMARY:Summer of Timeless Classics
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay is punctuating this blockbuster season with a lineup of Timeless Classics! We’re providing moviegoers with a wide selection of beloved films spanning decades of cinematic history. \n\n\n\nRevisit one of Hollywood’s most epic romances with Casablanca. Get acquainted with Frank Capra’s directorial brilliance by checking out Arsenic and Old Lace and It Happened One Night.  Participate in The Lindsay’s cherished summer tradition of Cinema Paradiso. \n\n\n\nYou can also celebrate 70 years of Rebel Without a Cause\, 60 years of The Sound of Music\, 40 years of The Goonies and (almost) 30 years of The Birdcage with us this summer. \n\n\n\nBetween these seven Timeless Classics and Hollywood’s latest fare\, it’s going to be one heck of a summer at The Lindsay! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCasablanca\n\n\n\nPG | 1h 42min | Drama\, Romance\n\n\n\nDirector: Michael Curtiz\n\n\n\nStars: Humphrey Bogart\, Ingrid Bergman\, Paul Henreid\n\n\n\nSUNDAY\, JUNE 22\, AT 1 P.M. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere has arguably never been a more epic romance committed to celluloid than the one between Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) and Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) in 1942’s Casablanca. Their grand courtship finished in first place on Variety’s ranking of the 50 greatest romantic movies ever made. \n\n\n\nDirector Michael Curtiz’s film is an “exceptionally well-directed and well-played picture\,” raves The Los Angeles Times. More than 80 years later\, Casablanca is still a “drama that lifts you right out of your seat\,” writes The Hollywood Reporter. \n\n\n\n“The picture has exceptional merits as absorbing entertainment\, reflecting the fine craftsmanship of all who had hands in its making. Certainly a more accomplished cast of players cannot be imagined\, and their direction by Michael Curtiz is inspired.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtime for Casablanca\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Birdcage\n\n\n\nR | 1h 58min | Comedy\n\n\n\nDirector: Mike Nichols\n\n\n\nStars: Robin Williams\, Nathan Lane\, Gene Hackman\n\n\n\nTUESDAY\, JUNE 24\, AT 7 P.M. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Birdcage remains a groundbreaking milestone in the history of LGBTQ+ cinema. This remake of the French farce La Cage Aux Folles stars Robin Williams and Nathan Lane as a gay couple trying to literally play it straight while meeting their son’s future in-laws. \n\n\n\nDirector Mike Nichols’ film is an “enchantingly witty and humane entertainment” that “actually improves upon its source\,” raves Entertainment Weekly. “In The Birdcage\, we go beyond the stereotypes to see the characters’ depth and humanity\,” praises the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. \n\n\n\nAdds BBC: “What’s impressive is how relatively progressive The Birdcage still feels\, within the context of mainstream cinema\, in its treatment of queerness. Of the other Hollywood attempts at a ‘gay comedy’ in the 1990s\, and since … few have reached the bar that Nichols set.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtime for The Birdcage\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRebel Without a Cause\n\n\n\nPG-13 | 1h 51min | Drama\, Coming of Age\n\n\n\nDirector: Nicholas Ray\n\n\n\nStars: James Dean\, Natalie Wood\, Sal Mineo\n\n\n\nSUNDAY\, JUNE 29\, AT 1 P.M. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHas anyone ever exuded pure\, unfiltered coolness more than James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause? He plays Jim Stark\, the new kid in town looking for a fresh start. Jim ends up making plenty of friends—along with a few enemies. \n\n\n\nRebel Without a Cause was released less than a month after the 24-year-old Dean’s tragic death. “As a ‘farewell’ performance he leaves behind\, with this film\, genuine artistic regret\, for here was a talent which might have touched the heights\,” writes Variety. \n\n\n\nExpounds Slant Magazine: “Profoundly romantic and lacerating in its despair\, Nicholas Ray’s Rebel Without a Cause\, a self-contained portrait of three isolated teenagers\, is James Dean’s best film. … He’s emotionally direct\, tenderly seductive\, protective of others and blessed with courtly humor.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtime for Rebel Without a Cause\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCinema Paradiso—Theatrical Cut\n\n\n\nPG | 2h 4min | Drama\, Coming of Age \n\n\n\nDirector: Giuseppe Tornatore\n\n\n\nStars: Salvatore Cascio\, Philippe Noiret\, Antonella Attili\n\n\n\nIn Italian\, with English Subtitles\n\n\n\nTHURSDAY\, JULY 10\, AT 7 P.M.; THURSDAY\, AUG. 14\, AT 7 P.M. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt wouldn’t be summer at The Lindsay without Cinema Paradiso\, the sumptuous coming-of-age drama with a beautiful Ennio Morricone score. This Academy Award-winner follows a young boy as he falls in love with film and must choose between home and pursuing his dreams. \n\n\n\nCinema Paradiso is an “impossibly well-crafted” film that’s full of cinematic “richness and density of observation\,” lauds The Guardian. As The Washington Post succinctly summarizes: “It is\, in a word\, exquisite.” \n\n\n\n“There are films as lovely\, but none lovelier than Cinema Paradiso\, a folkloric salute to the medium itself\, flickering with yesterday’s innocence and lingering on the mind like bubbles in wine. Born of director Giuseppe Tornatore’s childhood memories\, this is a magic lantern in a Sicilian boy’s hand.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for Cinema Paradiso\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArsenic and Old Lace\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 58min | Comedy\, Thriller\n\n\n\nDirector: Frank Capra\n\n\n\nStars: Cary Grant\, Priscilla Lane\, Raymond Massey\n\n\n\nTHURSDAY\, JULY 24\, AT 7 P.M.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArsenic and Old Lace is a 1944 comedic gem starring Cary Grant as a recently married writer who is horrified to learn that his beloved aunts (played by Josephine Hull and Jean Adair) have been harboring a bloody secret. \n\n\n\nThe first of two Frank Capra-directed films playing at The Lindsay this summer is a ” riotous farce” and “good macabre fun\,” praises The New York Times. Arsenic and Old Lace remains “an example of ensemble scenery-gnawing that has yet to be surpassed\,” declares Empire. \n\n\n\n“Josephine Hull and Jean Adair are delightfully dotty as the lethal landladies. … But it’s Cary Grant who steals the show\, as his double takes\, deliberate delivery and pantomimic commotions allow just a whisper of sanity to seep into this gloriously eccentric scenario.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtime for Arsenic and Old Lace\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Goonies\n\n\n\nPG | 1h 54min | Adventure\, Comedy\n\n\n\nDirector: Richard Donner\n\n\n\nStars: Sean Astin\, Josh Brolin\, Corey Feldman\n\n\n\nSUNDAY\, AUG. 10\, AT 1 P.M.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdventure awaits in The Goonies\, the 1985 summer classic about a group of kids who bite off a bit more than they can chew while searching for a pirate’s hidden treasure. The film was directed by Richard Donner (Superman) and written by Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus (of Home Alone fame). \n\n\n\nThe Goonies is a “deliciously dizzy adventure yarn” bursting with “crowd-pleasing perks\,” applauds New York Daily News. This was the film that proved “Spielberg and his directors are absolute masters of how to excite and involve an audience\,” proclaims RogerEbert.com. \n\n\n\n“The Goonies is a smooth mixture of the usual ingredients from Steven Spielberg action movies\, made special because of the high-energy performances of the kids who have the adventures. … There’s not just a thrill a minute; there’s a thrill\, a laugh\, a shock and a special effect.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtime for The Goonies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt Happened One Night\n\n\n\nNR | 1h 45min | Romance\, Comedy\n\n\n\nDirector: Frank Capra\n\n\n\nStars: Clark Gable\, Claudette Colbert\, Walter Connolly\n\n\n\nSUNDAY\, SEPT. 7\, AT 1 P.M. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt Happened One Night is a 1934 screwball comedy from It’s a Wonderful Life director Frank Capra. Clark Gable stars as newspaper reporter Peter Warne\, who runs into heiress Ellie Andrews (Claudette Colbert) and becomes her accidental travel partner. Hijinks ensue\, and sparks fly. \n\n\n\nThe Los Angeles Times in 1934 was so confident that It Happened One Night would be a hit that it declared\, “And if the public doesn’t go all the way in for this one\, then there is not\, nor should be\, any joy in Cinemaland.” The New Republic agreed\, calling the film “first-rate entertainment.” \n\n\n\n“What the picture as a whole shows is that by changing such types as the usual pooh-bah father and city editor into people with some wit and feeling\, by consistently preferring the light touch to the heavy\, and by casting actors who are thoroughly up to the work of acting\, you can make some rather comely and greenish grasses grow.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtime for It Happened One Night\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sound of Music\n\n\n\nG | 2h 59min | Musical\, Drama\, Romance\n\n\n\nDirector: Robert Wise\n\n\n\nStars: Julie Andrews\, Christopher Plummer\, Eleanor Parker\n\n\n\nSUNDAY\, SEPT. 14\, AT 1 P.M.; WEDNESDAY\, SEPT. 17\, AT 6:30 P.M. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay’s Summer of Timeless Classics concludes with a 60th-anniversary screening of The Sound of Music. Nobody can resist this gorgeous recounting of how a bubbly nun named Maria (Julie Andrews) entered Georg von Trapp’s (Christopher Plummer) home and brought love and music back into his family’s lives and hearts. \n\n\n\nThis Best Picture winner was “impeccably cast” and “offers enough sentiment to warm\,” wrote the Associated Press in 1965. The Sound of Music remains “one of the most beloved family-friendly classics in cinema history\,” proclaims IndieWire.  \n\n\n\n“Even as an adult\, you’ll still find yourself singing along. That score is immortal … and the music has never sounded half as good as it does coming from Julie Andrews\, whose spritely and luminous portrayal of nun-turned-governess Maria remains the gold standard for musical theater acting.” \n\n\n\n\nTickets and Showtimes for The Sound of Music

SUMMARY:'Little Rich Lives'
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay’s latest Emerging Filmmakers Showcase is a dramedy about friendship and identity.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Here!\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay’s next Emerging Filmmakers Showcase is a locally shot dramedy with big ideas. \n\n\n\nLittle Rich Lives hails from Squirrel Hill-based filmmaker Eli Zazu.

Richie’s best friend\, Tanner (Robert Starzynski)\, is more playful and grounded. Tanner is generally amused by Richie’s behavior\, but his erratic tendencies have increasingly become a source of exasperation. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe main cast also includes Howell\, David Ogrodowski\, Alyssa Wenzel and Mya Favata. Ogrodowski\, a prolific Pittsburgh actor\, also produced Zazu’s feature directorial debut. \n\n\n\nZazu has been directing\, writing and editing films for the last eight years. The Milwaukee native moved to Pittsburgh in 2022 and quickly began churning out short films like Purple and 80 Grand. Zazu finds purpose in connecting with people and working closely with actors to bring his stories to life.

DESCRIPTION:Local filmmaker Max Cianci will screen a selection of his narrative shorts and commercial work.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay’s second Emerging Filmmakers Showcase of July shines the spotlight on one of Pittsburgh’s most talented independent filmmakers. Max Cianci is a Hermitage\, Pa.\, native who has been living and working in Pittsburgh since 2014. The Point Park University alumnus has plenty of experience directing both narrative and commercial shorts.

The evening will include a few Cianci-directed commercials\, three narrative short films\, a proof-of-concept short\, and an in-person Q&A with Cianci. \n\n\n\n\n\nCianci will unveil his proof of concept short film\, Tiny Toe. This is a short that he intends to make into a larger project. It follows a hunter who discovers an unusual creature in one of his traps. His hope is to create something that stands amongst the great lineage of creature and monster filmmaking here in Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\nThis event will also be the rare chance to see two other Cianci shorts on the big screen: 2020’s Loopy: A Quarantine Short Film\, co-directed by and starring Cianci\, is about a man investigating a seemingly abandoned building; and 2021’s The Sale\, about two thieves who get more than they bargained for during a looting run. Loopy was selected for over twenty film festivals during its run\, including the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY). The Sale received the Audience Choice Award at Pittsburgh Short’s Thriller Chiller screening. \n\n\n\nHe will also screen Crypt\, a 48 Hour Film Project production that won Best Cinematography\, Best Actress\, and Audience Choice. Crypt follows a woman who must escape after she wakes up during the process of being mummified. Cianci and his team created this film completely over the course of a single weekend.

SUMMARY:'Validity'
DESCRIPTION:The Lindsay’s third Emerging Filmmakers Showcase of July is a thought-provoking medical drama.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Here!\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThe Lindsay’s third Emerging Filmmakers Showcase this month is a sneak peak at a fascinating new drama about medical ethics.  \n\n\n\nValidity was written and directed by Pittsburgh-based artists Kate Vargish and Randy Kovitz\, respectively. Their film\, inspired by true events\, follows a hypothermia researcher struggling with the morally tricky notion of using potentially life-saving data that was obtained from a terrible source. \n\n\n\nKovitz’s feature directorial debut will screen at The Lindsay on Thursday\, July 31\, at 7 p.m. Tickets are free\, but RSVPs are recommended in advance. \n\n\n\nAmy Marsalis stars as Dr. Sidney Randall\, a researcher who stumbles across invaluable data that was gathered during experiments at long-defunct Nazi death camps. Dr. Randall recruits a team to help her navigate the cutthroat world of health-ethics debates and (hopefully) earn the medical establishment’s approval to validate her findings. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe main cast also includes Kovitz\, Dominique Brock\, Daniel Klein\, Lisa Ann Goldsmith and Ken Bolden. \n\n\n\nKovitz is an actor\, writer\, musician\, producer and award-winning filmmaker. His acting credits range from Broadway and regional theater to TV and feature films. He also teaches acting for the camera at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama while also directing\, producing and editing the school’s acting and musical theater showcase video material. Kovitz has also worked as a fight director and stunt coordinator and performer—most notably\, as Raul Julia’s fencing double in 1991’s The Addams Family big-screen adaptation. \n\n\n\nVargish is a writer and producer with an MFA in dramatic writing from Carnegie Mellon University. She has produced several independent web series and short films in the Pittsburgh area\, as well as working on projects in Seattle and Los Angeles. Vargish has also produced film work for Pitt Stages\, CMU\, 1Hood Media and Ryse Professional Wrestling.
