About

Keylight was born out of discussions over the past decade, lamenting gaps that had cropped up within the Pittsburgh-area film community. Pittsburgh has a long tradition as a vibrant hub of independent filmmaking, but we could see that some of the bonds holding that community together had frayed. We believed we could be part of filling that void, helping to nurture and unify media artists of all types (traditional filmmaking, video art, performance) with audiences for work that is sometimes a little off the beaten path.

We support artistic innovation and we offer a wide range of public programs that include screenings in unexpected spaces. Some of our programs are interactive, encouraging attendees to come together to learn, be entertained and to enhance their art. We have a strong focus on education, and we offer workshops on various aspects of filmmaking, digital media and film history and appreciation. We do this in an effort to strengthen the bonds within the Pittsburgh film and video community and to offer memorable experiences to both artists and film enthusiasts.
