Welcome Week Movie

Get to Know Athens' Own 109-Year Old Theater!

Welcome to Athens, Bobcats! Did you know there is a historic art house movie theater right on Court St…? The Athena Cinema has been a fixture of Uptown Athens for more than a century. We not only show an excellent selection of contemporary independent films, classic movies, and timely documentaries, we’re also the home of the annual Athens International Film and Video Festival – one of the oldest film fests in the country!

Stop in and pay us a visit at 20 S. Court St! Sign up for our email list and get a free small popcorn – we proudly use kernels from Athens’ own Shagbark Seed & Mill. We’d love you to come by and check out the movies we’re playing, get a limited edition student loyalty card, become a member, and have a look at the classy lobby of our 109-year-old cinema!
