Join us for an especially creative event in conjunction with our Movies on the Rooftop screening and the 19th Annual Ohio Brew Week celebration!
Ok, you hosers…time to set out for the Great White North!
In celebration of Ohio Brew Week, and inspired by the classic Canadian comedy film Strange Brew, participants will get a chance to glaze a bisqueware ceramic beer stein with ceramics glazes of their choice. Once glazed and final-fired, the steins are perfect vessels for all the Ohio craft brews you’ll want to enjoy during the Brew Week festivities! The finished steins will be available for pick up the following Wednesday after the Ceramics at the Cinema 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 Single – $50: includes admission to the class with all the materials for your ceramic piece, 1 ticket to the Movie on the Rooftop, and 2 drinks of your choice
– 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
Be advised that open slots to attend the glazing tutorials will be limited to 30 people. These events often sell out fast, so don’t wait to claim your spot.

Written and directed by Moranis and Thomas, Strange Brew grew from humble beginnings as a sketch on SCTV, Canada’s version of Saturday Night Live. (Very) loosely based on Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Hamlet, this film is a bummer only if you hate to laugh out loud, eh.
Based on the novel by Hugo Award-winning fantasy author Peter S Beagle (who also wrote the screenplay), and featuring the voice talents of A-list stars of the era including Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin, and Jeff Bridges, The Last Unicorn is an amazing journey through fantasy and myth artfully rendered by a production studio that raised the bar for animated feature films throughout the 1970s and 80s. It is unquestionable a classic of the fantasy genre – a wonderful movie that deserves to be remembered as a touchstone in the history of hand-drawn movie-making.
Having announced retirement almost a decade ago, Hayao Miyazaki instead persevered and began storyboarding THE BOY AND THE HERON in 2016 — it seemed that he had one final, fantastic story to tell. In production for nearly seven years and, allegedly, the most expensive film ever made in Japan, Miyazaki’s latest (and last) film has been hailed by critics as a masterpiece of animation filled with characters and themes that exemplify the breadth of Miyazaki’s illustrious career as one of the greatest animators and storytellers in the entertainment industry.
Written and directed by Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, Under the Skin), THE ZONE OF INTEREST is a moving portrayal of a family that enjoys the “good life” while being responsible for the literal destruction of the lives of countless others. An instant hit with critics, the film was shortlisted for an Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.
Executive produced by such Hollywood luminaries as Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, and Frank Marshall, and directed by Don Bluth (The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail), The Land Before Time exists because some of the best minds in movies came together to create this beautiful and endearing 1988 film. Even though the story is set in a prehistoric age, the message it conveys still rings true in these modern times…and always will!
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!
