Join the Athena Cinema for the very first National Art House Theater Day on Saturday, September 24th! At 1:00pm, we will be screening the newly restored TIME BANDITS!
In this fantastic voyage through time and space from Terry Gilliam, a boy named Kevin (Craig Warnock) escapes his gadget-obsessed parents to join a band of time-traveling dwarfs. Armed with a map stolen from the Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson), they plunder treasure from Napoleon (Ian Holm) and Agamemnon (Sean Connery)—but the Evil Genius (David Warner) is watching their every move. Featuring a darkly playful script by Gilliam and his Monty Python cohort Michael Palin (who also appears in the film), Time Bandits is at once a giddy fairy tale, a revisionist history lesson, and a satire of technology gone awry.
We will be raffling 5 limited edition 14” x 18” reproduction of the Time Portal Map used in the film, designed by Terry Gilliam, exclusively provided to AHTD theaters.
There will also be free Shagbark Seed & Mill popcorn for attendees and an all day raffle of an Athena “Date Night” prize package including 2 t-shirts, 2 free admissions and more!
