About – Pittsburgh Sound + Image

About Pittsburgh Sound + Image

Pittsburgh Sound + Image is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, formed in 2021 to create a film and video archive and cinema. Through preservation and exhibition, it is our mission to make local film history known and available to the public, alongside national and global artists who otherwise do not currently have outlets in Pittsburgh. In its first two years, PSI has produced over thirty film events, for over 2,000 enthusiastic cinemagoers. We also operate pghcinema.com, which tracks and promotes all organizations hosting film events citywide, and retains a history of exhibition in the area.
