Hey! Did you know there’s a new film festival in Pittsburgh, happening THIS WEEKEND screening some of the best shorts and features from this year’s festival circuit? And it’s programmed by Bottlerocket’s own Gracie!!! And we’re giving away tickets!
Solange Film Fest features hand selected films from Tribeca, Sundance, TIFF, SXSW and more - screening for the first time in Pittsburgh.
We’ve got FREE TICKETS to this years opening night film - Palestine Comedy Club, a powerful documentary following a group of displaced Palestinian Comedians as they tour their home country & then the world. What starts as a blending of comic traditions to encourage honest and open reflections through the shared enjoyment of laughter becomes an existential imperative to survival and sharing common humanity.

🌈👹 Get ready to be BABA-SHOOK at our PRIDE MONTH DRAG CHARITY BINGO featuring Horror’s most unlikely pride month icon…
You might be asking, “What does the Babadook have to do with Pride?” 🤔
In 2017, Netflix mistakenly placed the horror movie under the “LGBTQ+ PRIDE MONTH” category. What ensued was a deluge of memes and frankly... a very fun time to be on the internet. Now, almost a decade later, we’ve teamed up with our favorite drag queen, INDI SKIES, to bring you the most unhinged celebrity pride bingo concept in the city!
Play several rounds of BABADOOK THEMED PRIDE BINGO, Win free drinks, prizes from our random prize bin, and even $100 CASH courtesy of our wonderful sponsors at ABIDING MISSIONS!
So dig out your top hat and glitter, show us your best BABA-LOOK, because this June the BABADOOK IS COMING OUT! 🌈
