I remember the first time I went to this theater to see a movie. It was about five years ago after I had just moved here- I was going to see a little sci-fi indie movie called "Moon." I had such an incredible experience that I've been back many times since (even though it's a little further out from the East End and finding buses can be tough). A part of the Pittsburgh Filmmakers theaters (along with Melwood in North Oakland and Harris downtown), this theater always shows smaller independent and foreign films, along with classic older films. It's such a cute little theater run by a couple of people at a time to make sure that Pittsburgh can see show great movies that otherwise we wouldn't be able to see. Local universities have great ties to Filmmakers and I was shocked at the discount I got for a ticket here as a graduate student at Pitt (I think I only had to pay 3 or 4 bucks). So residents and students in particular: make sure to go to places like these to keep them open and keep Pittsburgh's cultural community alive!
