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.
