About the Film
Written and directed by Chris Rock, Head of State tells the story of Washington, DC alderman Mays Gilliam who finds himself unexpectedly chosen to be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States when the original nominees for prez and vice-prez are accidentally killed in a plane crash. Gilliam is considered a local hero because he selflessly saved the life of a woman who fell victim to an explosion, and the Dems think that, even though he is not likely to win, Gilliam’s visibility will serve their chances for a victory in an election down the road. Plus, he’s infinitely likeable! When Mays finds himself actually rising in the polls, he starts to take his campaign seriously and begins to speak his mind about what he thinks are the real problems facing the country…in the hilarious way that only Chris Rock can!

On the evening of each event, attendees are instructed to head directly to the Athens City Parking Garage located at 15 E Washington St. Two elevators are available for transport to the top-most level, in addition to a stairwell (for those who enjoy a fitness challenge). Seating for the events will begin at 7:30 p.m., and the films will begin at about 9:00 p.m. (or when it is dark enough for the projected image to be seen on the screen).
Concessions (popcorn, soft drinks, water, candy, etc) will be available for purchase on the rooftop.
Yes! Tickets are $8 for most screenings. Please check individual webpages for pricing. We will have staff checking tickets at the rooftop entrance. If you leave the rooftop, you will need to bring your ticket(s) with you for re-entry.
While we may have tickets to sell the night of the event, it is strongly encouraged that you reserve your tickets in advance in case of a sellout.
Patrons are strongly encouraged to bring their own chairs, blankets, sleeping bags, or whatever other seating arrangement will make them comfortable. We will mark off sections with paths to allow for access to the concession area and elevators.
Don’t forget – the temperature on the rooftop often drops significantly once the sun goes down, even in warmer months. So, we encourage you to bring a hoodie, jacket, socks, and/or an extra blanket…whatever you need to stay warm.
Unfortunately, No.
Due to the recent upgrades to the Athens City Parking Garage, there are no longer any bathrooms available at the facility. As a result, The Athena Cinema bathrooms (20 S.

Just make sure that you hold onto your ticket so that you will be able to get back into the film screening when you return to your seat.

You will not need to repurchase your tickets should the event or the date move.
In the event of rain, the event may be moved inside to the Athena Cinema at 20 S. Court St.
The parking garage has elevator access from each floor that leads directly to the roof. Accessible parking is available in the garage and on the streets in metered spots.
