The Skids ReVolution
They were the real deal: feral, self-educated, angry with pent-up rage against economic destruction and their lost future. They were mighty, Celtic, and fierce with a revolutionary spirit grounded in a Scotland of old. Lionised by a Radio 1 DJ, the Skids grabbed their chance, and their music flew through the 70s and early 80s, influencing global bands like U2 and Simple Minds until, one day, it all fell apart. This is a story of revolution, resolution, and rebirth, not nostalgia.
Friday at 8PM
Tie Die
When a series of mangled bodies begin appearing in the park, Ranger Jones (Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma Entertainment and creator of the Toxic Avenger) and a state trooper (Joe Bob Briggs, Shudder’s The Last Drive In) are baffled by the attacks. It’s been a long time since a black bear has gone rabid in the park and never to this degree. The timing couldn’t be worse as the area is filling up with young musicians, hippies, and earth children. Can they stop the killings before things get worse, or will Ranger Jones miss the encore?
Followed by a Q&A with the cast and crew!
Saturday at 2PM
The Father Who Stayed
The Father Who Stayed is a moving and captivating feature-length cinematic concert experience comprised of 27 musical songs and compositions by celebrated composer and singer/songwriter, Jeremy Schonfeld. By drawing inspiration from the true story of a single father who tragically lost his young teenage daughter, as well as the lives of everyday Americans who continue to share their stories from beyond the grave, this film creates its own unique space to explore themes of life, love, loss, grief, and resilience. Part Our Town, part Spoon River Anthology with a bit of The Last Waltz thrown in for good measure, The Father Who Stayed is ultimately about the universal human experiences that connect us all through the ordinary stories of our lives.

Featuring appearances by renowned author, Damon Young, U.S. Senator John Fetterman, and Congresswoman Summer Lee, Dr. Rueben Brock investigates the report while also documenting a major turning point and pivotal moment in Pittsburgh’s history.

But after a chance meeting with David Solomon, a troubled and conflicted Jewish hitman who has a death wish of his own, a deadly plan is set into motion which could change Paul’s dysfunctional take on luck. Paul gets two weeks to take it “down to the felt,” to go all in, before David kills him so his mom can collect on Paul’s insurance policy. It’s Paul’s final two minutes in his game of life.
But when Paul starts winning, and meets the alluring and mysterious Erica Chambers, who knows her way around a poker table, life becomes a race against time for Paul to call off the hitman and stop the deadly hand been dealt.
