Natalka Voslakov was a poet, writer, filmmaker and all-around creative force in Pittsburgh in the late 70s and first half of the 80s. She has been described as the nucleus of the Pittsburgh Filmmakers' punks, constantly organizing her vast group of friends — including George Romero, Tony Buba, and Peggy Ahwesh — into working on her films. Natalka was a prolific documenter of the culture around her, and of herself, revealing intimate details of the life of a single mother and artist while questioning the highly-refined persona she cultivated in public.
The centerpiece of this program is the new restoration of “Time Capsule with True Bird Flight” funded by the National Film Preservation Foundation and a local Kickstarter drive. Also on the show is the short “Current Autobiography According to Bargain Basement Sinatra” and surviving footage from "Teenage Love" including a scene shot at CMOA.
This screening is an installment of the Essential Pittsburgh series by Pittsburgh Sound+Image.

The Doc Salon Media Committee is reconstituting itself in response to developments in America since the return of Donald Trump to the White House. Its aim is to use readily-available technology--phones, mostly--to generate media of resistance and utility (yes, this is a partisan project). At meeting #1, we'll brainstorm ideas for topics and video projects.
