“Have you ever seen so many birds..?!”
In line with the theme of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 psychological-horror masterpiece The Birds, participants in this relaxing event will decorate a bisqueware bird feeder with colorful ceramics glazes in a design of their choice. Once glazed, the items will be taken and fired to create the finished product. These cute birdfeeders can be hung up and used to attract neighborhood songbirds. The finished pieces will be available for pick up in the Athena lobby one week after the event.
The Ceramics at the Cinema series is a monthly ceramics series that allows participants the opportunity to glaze a bisqueware ceramic project at The Athena Cinema on a weekend afternoon. Each project is paired with a themed movie, presented that evening, on the rooftop of the Athens City Parking Garage, as part of our Movies on the Rooftop series.
We have three ticket options:
– Ceramics at the Cinema Basic – $30: includes admission to the class with all materials for your ceramic piece

– Ceramics at the Cinema Deluxe Couple – $100: includes admission to the class for 2 with all the materials for your ceramic pieces, 2 tickets to the Movie on the Rooftop, and 4 drinks of your choice

Hitchcock’s knack for on-location shooting, his brilliance at employing special effects, and his penchant for visualizing psyche-shattering scripts are all in evidence here, combining to make The Birds not only one of the most-unforgettable horror films, but also one of cinema history’s most-enduring movies!
Released in 2019 by A24 Studios, this film has come to be regarded as one of the best horror films of the past decade. With its beautiful cinematography by Pawel Pogorzelski, a chilling Norse-folk-inspired soundtrack by Bobby Krlic, and a one-of-a-kind script by Aster himself, Midsommar is, like its 1970’s predecessor The Wicker Man, a strange look inside the murky world pagan religious worship.
Dr. Geoff Buckley is Professor of Geography and Interim Associate Dean in the Honors Tutorial College for Ohio Honors and 1804 Scholars. Dr. Buckley’s focus lies in the study of the environmental legacy effects of past decisions, practices, and processes: In order to make wise decisions regarding the environmental problems we face today, we must understand the complex web of human and physical processes that, over time, have contributed to their existence. Geoff is particularly interested in environmental history and historical geography; environmental justice; mining landscapes; public lands, esp. national parks; urban environments; and urban sustainability.
Training their cameras on the people, places, and culture of Appalachia, Rubin and York seek to reclaim the dignity of the term and to portray Appalachians in a more positive and realistic light. By examining over a century’s-worth of media representation of Appalachian culture, and through interviews with people who live in the region, this film is an attempt to shed light on the richness and proud heritage of one of America’s most misunderstood communities.
