The culmination of more than a decade of silent film exhibition in the Pittsburgh area, the Pittsburgh Silent Film Society’s 1st Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival takes place September 24 to October 1, 2023. Nine films will screen at eight venues in the Pittsburgh area, with musicians providing live accompaniment.

The Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival coincides with the 3rd annual Silent Movie Day, a global celebration of silent film occurring yearly on September 29th – a project co-founded by Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival director Chad Hunter.

Film director Martin Scorsese remarked on the effort:

This is exactly the kind of activist spirit we need right now in the world of cinema.
