    • The Three Rivers Film Festival is an annual film festival, held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is presented by Film Pittsburgh.
      Founded as part of the Three Rivers Arts Festival in 1981, the first annual festival was June 4, 1982. Thirteen films premiered that year, including the locally shot Knightriders starring Ed Harris, Patricia Tallman and Tom Savini. In 1993 the festival moved its programming to the fall. The festival briefly reconnected for one year with the Three Rivers Arts Festival in 2018. The festival is the oldest and largest annual film festival in Western Pennsylvania.
