Originally a neighborhood second run theater, the Regent Square Theater was opened December 15, 1936. It is owned by Pittsburgh Filmakers and runs local and national indie films.
The Regent Square Theater is located in the Regent Square, East End section of Pittsburgh. Not to be confused with the old Regent Theater (now known as the Kelly Strayhorn Theater).

Update,
The website should be www.pghfilmmakers.org
My Girl Posse and I went here recently to see “Anvil, The Story of Anvil” which is a documentary on an aging metal band from Canada. Not quite “Spinal Tap” (because the band does exist), it still has its funny moments.

71 Dude, that was a good article by Ed Blank. Thanks for posting it. I went to the Regent Square the other night to see “Animal KIngdom” and I’m gonna return next week to see the “Mesrine” series.
I encourage all film fans to support the Regent Square. They show movies that you just can’t see elsewhere.
This Theatre is on The Swissvale border in the Regent Square neighborhood. It Does Not have ANYTHING (Nor was it named after the “Regent” in East Liberty. When I lived in Swissvale I used to walk to the place often. The last movie a saw here was “The Crow” with Brandon Lee.
The “Operated By” (chain) should be Pittsburgh Filmmakers.
The Regent Square is (hopefully) temporarily closed right now (Aug 2017) due to technical and financial issues. Here’s an article from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on the topic:

Re-opening on Oct. 27, with a weekend of horror films for all ages, and some with a local angle!
According to the Ed Blank article 71dude linked to earlier, the Regent Square Theatre opened on December 15, 1936.
