2026 Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival
Monday, September 28
at the
Parkway Theater & Film Lounge
Jump Cut is celebrating Silent Movie Day Monday, September 28th at the Parkway Theater and Film Lounge with Dinner and a Movie with a screening of The Student of Prague (1926)!
Join us for a special Silent Movie Day event as part of the 2026 Pittsburgh Silent Film Festival! We’re thrilled to present Dinner and a Movie with a screening of the 2020 restoration of The Student of Prague from the Filmmuseum München .
Directed by Henrik Galeen, best known for his work on Nosferatu and The Golem, this
1926 German Expressionist classic stars Conrad Veidt as a penniless student who makes a pact with the devil for love and fortune, only to be haunted by his own stolen reflection. A dark spin on the Faust legend, the film captures the wreckage of ambition, temptation, and a traded soul, all unfolding through the shadow-drenched visuals of Weimar cinema. The screening features an original live musical score by Tyler Stoner.
Make a night of it with dinner before the show, prepared by the Parkway's Chef Mustapha.
Dinner includes: choice of burger, hoagie, or wrap, served with seasoned potatoes, salad, and dessert.
Tickets $30
Please arrive with enough time to enjoy your dinner before the film.

🕕 Time: Doors open for dinner at 5:30pm, film screens at 7pm
🎟️ Tickets: $30 (dinner and admission to the film included in price)
📍 Where: Parkway Theater, 644 Broadway Ave, McKees Rocks, 15136
On April 20, 2021, local film archivist and director of the Pittsburgh Silent Film Society, Chad Hunter, announced that he, along with a group of film archivists with a passion for silent movies, had established September 29 as Silent Movie Day - an annual day to celebrate silent film history and raise awareness about the race to preserve surviving silent films. With an official proclamation from National Day Archives naming the day, the inaugural Silent Movie Day was held on Wednesday, September 29, 2021.
