Cinematheque's April run at the Athena Cinema on Court Street kicks off Friday with the theme "End of the Line." The monthly film series will feature five films that examine the unsettling space between society's hopes and the darker impulses and trauma that afflict mankind.
With screenings through April 16, this month's films are "Gimme Shelter," "Solaris," "M," "Day of Wrath" and "WR: Mysteries of the Organism."
The films represent a wide variety of cultures, eras and languages including English, Russian, German and Danish. All foreign language films include English subtitles. The films date from 1931 to 1972.
The film series is sponsored by the Arts for Ohio initiative and aims to expose the Ohio University and Athens communities to a variety of classics, documentaries and international titles.
Cinematheque films are free for students with a valid ID, including local high school students and those visiting from other universities. Ohio University employees and community members pay $4 per film. Visit www.finearts.ohio.edu/artsforohio/cinematheque.htm for more information.
