A 45th anniversary screening of George Romero's classic zombie film Dawn of the Dead, along with the Double Feature: Trailer Bash and Raging Pages trailer and screenplay competitions, will highlight the Pittsburgh Moving Picture Festival, set for Sunday, May 19, at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center. A celebration of the art of cinema and the region's rich motion picture tradition, the event also includes a Q&A with actors from Dawn of the Dead, filmed at the Monroeville Mall and considered one of the most influential horror films of all time. The afternoon begins at 12:30 p.m. with the Double Feature trailer and screenplay competitions, a curated program of Official Selections of coming attractions, all of which are eligible to earn one of the premiere trailer trophies on the festival circuit"the "Tabby""for Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Score, overall Best Trailer and the Audience Favorite award! This event is free to the public but reservations are requested to ensure seating for all. At 1:30 p.m., in collaboration with the George A. Romero Foundation's "Romero Lives!" series, the festival continues with a 30-minute Q&A with Dawn of the Dead actors Melissa Dunlap ("Airport Zombie Kid"), Bob Michelucci ("Scope Zombie") and"in a very rare public appearance"Jeannie Jeffries ("Blond Zombie"). The one-of-a-kind panel is hosted by fellow "zombie talent" veteran and director/producer Mike Ancas (Day of the Dead, Chasing Zombies). Following the Q&A, at 2 p.m., watch Dawn of the Dead as it was intended to be seen: on the big screen. Romero's gut-chomping, genre-defining sequel to Night of the Living Dead premiered April 12,1979 at the Gateway Theater in downtown Pittsburgh yet is rarely seen on movie screens. The plot follows two Philadelphia S.W.A.T. team members, a traffic reporter and his television executive girlfriend who seek refuge from a zombie epidemic in a secluded shopping mall. The late critic Roger Ebert gave the movie four out of four stars and proclaimed it one of the best horror films ever made. Empire named it one of the 500 Greatest Movies of all Time in a 2008 survey. The film also launched the career of makeup and special effects artist Tom Savini, a Pittsburgh native who went on to work on classic horror films such as Friday the 13th parts 1 and 4, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Tickets are on sale now! The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center, formerly The Tull Family Theater, is an independent, film-driven arts nonprofit located at 418 Walnut St. in Sewickley.

Pittsburgh City Paper's "Best Filmmaker" of 2023, Steve Rudzinski, will screen his indie horror sensation, CarousHELL Trilogy, at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center's next Emerging Filmmakers Showcase, Thursday, May 16 at 7 p.m. Rudzinski, of Coraopolis, has garnered numerous awards from the indie horror community, including a Lifetime Achievement Award for directing from Grossfest, a horror convention; Best Feature Film of 2021 at the LA Indie Horror Fest, and the 2023 Fangoria Chainsaw Award. His work is also a hit in Prague, where a theater licensed the first CarousHELL film for six months of theatrical screening, and found fan reaction so positive that it has also licensed parts 2 and 3. Emerging Filmmakers Showcase events, a staple at The Lindsay, were developed to accelerate filmmakers' exposure and encourage exchanges between local artists and the public. Described as "equal parts hilarious, heartwarming and bloody," the CarousHELL Trilogy"the story of a sentient carousel unicorn trying to raise his half-human son"will be screening in its entirety for the first time in the U.S. Rudzinski, a horror fan since seeing Nightmare on Elm Street at age 3, says he hopes to inspire younger creatives who are considering a career in filmmaking. "It really is possible to make movies yourself and get them into the public eye!" Rudzinski serves as writer, director and co-producer of the trilogy. Other regional cast and crew members include co-writer and co-producer Aleen Isley, also of Coraopolis; director of photography and editor Scott Lewis of Mount Oliver; SFX designer Cody Ruch of Emsworth; and South Fayette Township native Rob Steinbock, producer/co-producer of the first film. Total running time is 220 minutes and includes brief intermissions between films. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Rudzinski and others involved in the project. Big Spring Spirits, a community-centric craft distillery based in Bellefonte, Pa., will also be on hand with "CarousHELL-inspired" signature cocktails available for purchase. While the event is free, RSVPs are requested to ensure seating for all. The Lindsay Theater, an independent, film-driven arts nonprofit, is located at 418 Walnut St. in Sewickley.

An afternoon of great music and fine spirits is in store at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center Sunday, May 5 with Whiskey and Weavers. The screening of a live concert film featuring the Tannahill Weavers (recorded at the Greater Pittsburgh Masonic Center in October 2023) will be preceded by a Scotch whiskey tasting to benefit the Balmoral Classic: U.S. Junior Solo Piping & Drumming Championships, an annual event held in Pittsburgh each fall. "Scotland's Tannahill Weavers play acoustic instruments, but the atmosphere at their shows is electric," says the Boston Globe. "The quintet is as tight and as versatile as any band in the Celtic music revival. They can summon rock 'n' roll intensity or haunting introspection." The event is presented in partnership with Pittsburgh's Balmoral School of Piping & Drumming. The Scotch tasting begins at 2 p.m. and the film at 3 p.m. Tickets are available for the film alone, or for both events. Born of a session in Paisley, Scotland, and named for the town's historic weaving industry and local poet laureate Robert Tannahill, the Tannahill Weavers are internationally known for their unique take on Celtic music, blending beautiful traditional melodies with powerful modern rhythms. Their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, original ballads and lullabies, and humorous tales of life in Scotland. From reflective ballads to foot-stomping reels and jigs, the variety and range of the material they perform is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits. The Weavers concert at the Pittsburgh Masonic Center "was a highlight of our year," says Balmoral executive director George Balderose. "The May 5 screening is a great way to share that experience and spread awareness of traditional Scottish music to the community." The Lindsay is an independent nonprofit theater located at 418 Walnut St., Sewickley.
