Since its inception, Film Pittsburgh has been guided by the belief that film is a powerful visual medium that thrives in today’s digital era by transcending cultural boundaries and spurring positive change. A nationally-recognized 501(c)(3) organization, Film Pittsburgh presents independent films from around the world, deepening audiences’ understanding of various cultures, expanding acceptance, and recognizing our common humanity. Each year, we proudly present the Three Rivers Film Festival, Pittsburgh Shorts and Script Competition, ReelAbilities Pittsburgh, and JFilm festivals. Film Pittsburgh has become known for curating an extremely high caliber of films, including 30 Academy Award nominees and eight winners.
