This is such a hidden treasure nestled in the North Oakland neighborhood and has a great reputation of showing small independent and foreign films, as well as older movies (i.e., It's a Wonderful Like at Christmastime) and cult classics. Additionally, I love their film kitchens once a month, which showcase local talent and work by students at the Filmmakers School (which resides in the same building on Melwood). Who can say no to watching locally made shorts for $5 with free pizza and beer beforehand? There really is a great little community of filmmakers here that I have to say I'm envious that I'm not apart of. However, for a few bucks a couple times a month (even cheaper with a Pitt or CMU ID), I can spend a fun little night enjoying one of the films at a place that I would actually argue is on of the cultural touchstones of the city.
