Movie buffs may be able to bring home a piece of film history Oct. 21, while also supporting local out-of-work industry workers.

The inaugural Pittsburgh Film Workers Solidarity Market will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 21, at Cinelease Studios, 150 Thorn Hill Road, Warrendale.

The behind-the-scenes workers banded together to organize the market as their unemployment benefits begin to run out amid ongoing writers’ and actors’ union strikes. Behind-the-scenes workers, such as lighting technicians, makeup artists and set designers, are not eligible for SAG-AFTRA strike funds.

While the five-month writers’ guild strike ended Oct. 1, the actors’ guild strike is ongoing and could drag on until demands are met.

The strikes have put a halt on productions, which has left thousands without work. There are more than 5,000 film industry workers in Western Pennsylvania alone.

With the support of the Pittsburgh Film Office and Cinelease Studios, the event welcomes the public behind the curtain and gives them the chance to possibly go home with their own piece of movie memorabilia.

More than 70 vendors will sell artwork, crafts, resale items and movie memorabilia at the event. Live special effects makeup demonstrations, studio tours, film equipment exhibits and food trucks will also be featured.

Cash and cards will be accepted. There will not be an ATM onsite.

The public will also get the chance to meet the film crew behind the scenes of such productions as “Mayor of Kingstown,” “Mindhunter Season 2,” and “Sweet Girl.”

“The idea for the solidarity market came from a group of film workers who noticed a sudden increase in fellow crews selling items online as their unemployment claims began to run out,” an event press release reads.

Organizers are also accepting donations via GoFundMe to offset operating costs and raffle prizes for volunteers.
