Cine in Athens
I'm ever so excited about the upcoming opening of Cine, the downtown arthouse movie theater. I'm a movie lover, to be sure, but it's so hard to see movies of the foreign or indie persuasion here in Athens. The idea is completely wonderful: a bar/cafe/theater that shows a full bill of independent/foreign films most days of the week. When I heard about it, I was just like, FINALLY! Athens has needed something like this for way too long. On the board of the project is Nate Kohn, a journalism professor at Grady College (my alma mater) and director of the Cannes Film Festival study abroad program that I did in 2003. He's brilliant about film and runs two festivals himself: the Overlooked Fest in Chicago with Roger Ebert, and the Robert Osborne Classic Film Fest here in Athens. With people like Nate behind this project, I've got total confidence that it will be awesome. Check out the site for the theater here. From what I hear, it's due to open in March ... I can't wait.
