1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture is a fascinating documentary about a discovery in the Yale archives of an erroneous 1946 translation of the term “homosexual” in the bible and how it could be the origin of homophobia within the Christian church. It screens on Saturday, November 11, at 2 pm at the Harris Theater.

Two Lives in Pittsburgh is a fictional feature written, directed by, and starring Pittsburgh native Brian Silverman about a father whose child is exploring their gender identity and how he learns to be the father his child needs him to be while also dealing with his elderly mother.
