Episode Details

The Lindsay Theater & Cultural Center's Director of Communications and Media Relations, Josh Axelrod, talks upcoming Lindsay events with QED's Melissa Black!

The Lindsay is hosting two upcoming Emerging Filmmakers Showcases. The first, on April 9th at 7:00pm, highlights the work of women in Pittsburgh's film industry. It will include 13 short films created by members of Women in Film & Media Pittsburgh, and covers a wide variety of genres. The second showcase, on April 16th at 7:00pm, is the Pittsburgh premiere of The Haunting of Prince Dom Pedro, a film conceived and written by Butler native Joe Fishel and directed by Don Swanson, of Ebensburg. The film is described as a genre-mashing comedy that follows a group of high school students who fail to take their Latin American history studies seriously. Both showcases are free to attend and will feature filmmaker Q&As after the screenings.

There will also be a sensory friendly screening of the Super Mario Galaxy movie on Saturday, April 11th at 10:00am. House lights will be brighter, the movie will be quieter, and there will be constant access to the rest of the theater through an open exit. Josh emphasizes the Lindsay's commitment to providing a low-stress environment for families, children, and adults impacted by autism and other special needs to watch films together.

Josh and Melissa, who both read the Andy Weir novel, also gush about Project Hail Mary, which is still playing at the Lindsay through April 9th.

More information, RSVP links, and tickets to these events and other films can be found on the Lindsay Theater's website.
