2025 documentary About Face: Disrupting Ballet in Pittsburgh, November 19.

The 2025 documentary About Face: Disrupting Ballet will play in Pittsburgh on November 19, part of the Three Rivers Film Festival. 

Georgina Pazcoguin, an acclaimed dancer, and Phil Chan, author and choreographer, challenge the dance world to rid ballet of offensive “yellowface” caricatures from ballets like The Nutcracker and La Bayadère. In real time, we witness the Scottish Ballet update its version of the Chinese Dance to both high praise and stinging backlash. About Face vividly shows the tension and risks the two artists endure as they push an art form—created for the entertainment of kings and queens hundreds of years ago—to be more relevant to diverse audiences today.

It also plays online from November 13. The November 19 show is at the Point Park University Pittsburgh Playhouse downtown (map) and tickets are available online.

4K restoration of 1985 Japanese animated film Angel's Egg (天使のたまご) in Pittsburgh, November 12, 19, and 20.

A 4K restoration of 1985 Japanese animated film Angel's Egg (天使のたまご) will play in Pittsburgh on November 12. A synopsis, from the distributor:

In an underwater city, a young girl takes care of a large egg she holds carefully in her arms – a treasure that she believes is an angel’s egg. A boy with a gun arrives in search of a bird he saw in his dream. At first it seems as if feelings of sympathy are developing between the two. Then, one night, the boy crushes her precious egg.

Forty years after the film’s original release, GKIDS is proud to present an all-new 4K restoration of the film, which is being supervised by director Oshii, in cinemas nationwide for the first time[.]

First released directly to home video in 1985, the film is a creative collaboration between internationally acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell), who wrote and directed the feature, and revered artist Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D). The film beautifully intertwines Oshii’s thematic reflections on philosophy and theology, with Amano’s distinctive ink painting style, culminating in an arrestingly beautiful hand-drawn allegorical fantasy.

It is scheduled to play locally at the AMC Loews Waterfront and, on the 19th, at the Cinemark in Robinson, and tickets are available online.

2025 Chinese animated film Nobody (浪浪山小妖怪) in Pittsburgh, from November 7.

The 2025 Chinese animated film Nobody (浪浪山小妖怪) will play in Pittsburgh from November 7.

In Chinese folklore, a “Yao” is an animal spirit. A wild young pig Yao from Langlang Mountain dreams of joining the King’s Cave, but after offending the King, he has no choice but to leave Langlang Mountain. He then teams up with his friends, namely the Toad Yao, Weasel Yao, and Orangutan Yao, to form a “grassroots scripture-seeking group.” They disguise themselves as Monk Tang and his disciples, hurrying to the Western Paradise to fetch the sacred Buddhist scriptures ahead of the real pilgrim team. Along the way, they go through absurd adventures, each achieving their own growth and finally gaining the “true scriptures” that belong to themselves.

It plays locally at the AMC Loews Waterfront and tickets are available online.
