Attending a show won’t always get you in The @criterion.bsky.social Collection, but as of today, it’s a possibility! On the Criterion Blu-ray for FRESH KILL, releasing today, a program about the film’s 35mm tour features our 2024 screening at Harris Theater. Can you spot yourself?

Thanks to @brndnstrssng.bsky.social for his kind words on the last MAYA DEREN 16MM BIRTHDAY PARTY! This Saturday, we're back at the same place, Harris Theater, to do it all again. All her major completed works on her preferred 16mm format. And birthday cake in honor of one of the best to ever do it

Brandon Streussnig: Maybe the best theater experience I've ever had. Truly nothing like seeing Deren's images swirl around onscreen, the projector humming along behind you. Her work feels like it exists at every point in cinema and somehow outside it all the same. Really special.

In 1977, the Pittsburgh film scene faced the anti-art, proto-DOGE tactics of an attention-seeking US senator. The films that set him off — the bold, colorful SKYWORKS series by LeAnn Bartok — come to Harris Theater TONIGHT on 16mm, the only means of seeing them.

While living in Pittsburgh in the 1970s, LeAnn Bartok made a series of films that garnered national recognition and controversy. Her life and work come back to light in the next edition of the Essential Pittsburgh series.

Excerpt from Bill Brand's STILL AT WORK (1975). It was while in Pittsburgh in the mid 1970s for a screening of his work at Carnegie Museum of Art that he learned the JK optical printer at Pittsburgh Filmmakers. This led to his now-trademark complex superimpositions and frames within frames.

Natalka Voslakov was a poet, filmmaker and creative force in Pittsburgh in the late 70s and first half of the 80s. Described as "the nucleus of the Pittsburgh Filmmakers' punks," she organized her friends — including George Romero, Tony Buba, and Peggy Ahwesh — into working on her films.

Tomorrow night we present what we believe to be the only complete print of Eagle Pennell's landmark indie comedy THE WHOLE SHOOTIN' MATCH. It was an influence on Robert Redford to start Sundance, and on Richard Linklater's career, and subject of a rating revision by Roger Ebert, from 3 to 4 stars.

J.T. Vale was a South Side cinephile chasing the sublime. We close this season of Essential Pittsburgh with the results of @fleamarketfilms.bsky.social's seven year search for his surviving works. This trailer features scenes from the euphoric "Steelers Riot" (1976).

Not lying when I think this is probably the best film of the last 20 years. Knew nothing of Mack's work (because I was stupid) and went in blind to the world premiere and came out the biggest fanboy.

Excited to reveal that tomorrow night, Jodie Mack will present the rarely seen *live performance version* of her modern classic DUSTY STACKS OF MOM: THE POSTER PROJECT! We'll also have the regional (east coast?) premiere of her new film "Lover, Lovers, Loving, Love."
