Ciné screens a variety of intriguing films from a broad spectrum of countries and cultures. the program at Ciné in Athens is much like those of European art house theaters and selected art venues in the United States. Most importantly; Ciné has its own personality through carefully selected films by movie savvy individuals and as a place for Athens film lovers to meet and exchange their views. Cine' is also the scene of alternative music and events. The Ciné building at Athens' West Hancock Avenue, housed -from the 1940's on a post office extension, a car showroom, and most recently the Snow Tire Company Recap Plant. The outside of the barrel roofed, yellow brick box has been renovated, the historic tin ceiling preserved, and the rest of the empty inside transformed into a modern, industrial space. The well known "Old Snow Tire" building, with its ideal downtown location and its ample 10,000 square feet foot print, has been converted into a new, lively, and stimulating gathering space for Athenians.
