We are still unable to use the library meeting rooms so we will continue to hold our monthly meetings virtually via Zoom. Third Saturday of each month at 10:00 am.

As we usher in the new year we welcome Pauline Greenlick to the board.  Pauline will be serving as treasurer for the 2021-2022 term.

We hope that 2021 will bring the opportunity for us to get together.  Until that time, please follow us here and on our FaceBook page for details on any virtual events we may be hosting.

Be well, stay safe, and keep writing!

Hooray! The information on the festival has finally been announced!!

The Film Pittsburgh Fall Festival will screen online at filmpittsburgh.org, November 11-22, 2020.

The festival will feature exciting and thought-provoking independent films from the Three Rivers Film Festival and Pittsburgh Shorts, and will include films from ReelAbilities Pittsburgh and the JFilm Festival.

This expansive, virtual, 12-day event will be integrated, inclusive, and fun! The festival includes Pittsburgh Shorts, which features 137 of the best local and international contemporary short films from 37 countries with 47% of the films directed by women (films from past festivals later went on to win Academy Awards!) along with staged readings from a short script competition.

It will also showcase the Three Rivers Film Festival’s curated slate of 30 feature films including dramas, comedies, and documentaries. Woven throughout the 12 days are ReelAbilities Pittsburgh films that explore and celebrate the stories of people living with disabilities and dynamic, Jewish-themed films from the JFilm Festival.
