Greece: Secrets of the Past, a giant screen film featuring the beauty and grandeur of an ancient civilization, opens Saturday, April 17 for a three-month feature run at Sci-Port’s IMAX Dome Theatre. The birthplace of democracy comes alive through an exciting archaeological adventure. Explore the majesty of Greece's islands and witness The Parthenon brought back to its original glory through amazing leading-edge computer-generated images. 

Greece: Secrets of the Past was directed by two-time Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Greg MacGillivray and tells the stirring story of how a 21st century Greek archeologist uncovers the secret history of his ancient ancestors who forged a society that continues to astound the world today with its ideas, inventions and achievements. Set against the breathtaking, azure vistas of the Greek Isles, the film merges a contemporary archeological “detective story” with some of the most advanced and painstaking digital re-creations ever undertaken for an IMAX® theatre film, with scenes that restore such centuries-old spectacles as the original Parthenon and the volcanic eruption that buried Santorini in 1646 BC.
