Ciné, a non-profit Art House Movie Theater in Athens, Georgia, is holding an Oscar Gala
fundraiser on Saturday, March 9, the night before this year’s Oscars. According to Executive
Director, Pam Kohn, the event is being held to “bring our film and cinema community together
with our broader creative community to have fun and raise funds for our ongoing projects and
support the goal of adding a third screen and a Digital Cinema Package (DCP) projection system
as an added feature in our existing multi-use LAB space.”
The venue will be packed with local creatives, film industry folk and others from the Athens
Community. “There will be food, drink and entertainment (band, DJ, short stage shows), as well
as a “Red Carpet” entrance for VIP guests,” said Airee Edwards, owner of Agora Vintage and
Ciné Board Member. The event will be covered by Georgia Entertainment.
Folks will come in costume as their favorite movie star or dress up. “We’re excited to welcome
people from all over the state to support our mission of enhancing the film arts in this region,”
said Edwards. Kohn added, “We will also have a live and silent auction with items from REM,
local film projects, studio tours, stays at historic Athens’ film locations and a lot more. The
Oscar Gala will be great way to celebrate the year in film, and an exciting opportunity to meet
and learn more about the wonderful Athens’ community of filmmakers, artists, and musicians,
and to support Athens’ only non-profit arthouse theater. We hope to see you there!”
