The monthly series for local and independent artists features “There’s Nobody at the Bridge,” Arie Lombardozzi’s half-hour documentary about paranormal investigators in Erie County, focusing on the legendary Gudgeonville Bridge. Also screening are several shorts featuring writer, actor and comedian Tristan Reid; three selected episodes of filmmaker Alistair McQueen’s “The Nomi Darling Show,” featuring Reid’s drag persona, combine a look at Pittsburgh’s burlesque scene with sketch comedy about Nomi attempting to learn burlesque.
