Tomorrow is today!

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).

Tonight!

A great place to be in Pittsburgh tonight: the Carnegie Museum of Art for a hands-on engagement with cameraless experimental filmmaking w/ a selection of paint & scratch films followed by making one as a group! Facilitated by PGH GOATs @pghsoundandimage.bsky.social

Tired: chicken Jockeying at the Sphere or whatever Wired: Jodie Mack walking around a museum screening room waving her phone flashlight around and reciting parody Dark Side of the Moon lyrics like she’s doing the beat poem from So I Married an Axe Murderer Best Cinema Experience of the ’20s maybe

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."

Tonight, a Squirrel Hill time capsule on 16mm, with director Sheila Chamovitz in person! www.eventbrite.com/e/essential-...

We're thrilled to bring the magnificent Jodie Mack to Pittsburgh! Her latest is in this show and at this year’s NYFF, and her films have been described as “perfection” (Sight and Sound) and “dazzling” (Artforum). (1/2)

Some familiar names to PSI audiences, and foreshadowing a TBA guest next month!
