The Athena Cinema is celebrating our 100th anniversary in 2015. To celebrate a century of cinema, the Athena is screening 12 unique films that showcase the history and craft of movies over the last 100 years. Starting with the era of silent films, the series takes us through high points of different eras and remarkable films, starring legends such as Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, Gene Hackman, Heath Ledger and more. And at the end of 2015, we will honor our roots by closing with the modern silent film, THE ARTIST, which ran at the Athena in 2012.

Steamboat Bill Jr.
The college-boy son of a hard-bitten riverboat captain proves to be an incompetent milquetoast embarrassment to his riverdog dad — until proving his manhood when a cyclone strikes their small town. Keaton’s last silent under his own creative control is one of his funniest.
