Athena Cinema, Art house cinema in Athens, United States
The Athena Cinema features three screens dedicated to independent films and artistic productions in a historical building on South Court Street.
Originally established in 1915 as the Majestic Theatre, the venue underwent changes before Ohio University acquired it in 2001 for cultural preservation.
The Athens International Film Festival, initiated in 1974, brings together students and film enthusiasts annually at the Athena Cinema.
The theater opens at 2 PM on weekends with extended evening hours during weekdays, offering special rates for matinee screenings before 5 PM.
Students staged a successful protest in 1968 against ticket price increases, resulting in the establishment of reduced matinee admission rates.
