The Florence Rotary club recently made a donation to The Siuslaw Vision Action
Team for $500 to conduct a study to determine the vision for the region and to cre-
ate a sustaining committee to communicate with the City of Florence. The money
is to be used for the ongoing effort and to exhibit community support. The Action
Team was awarded a grant in the amount of $23,500, which has a required 10 per-
cent match. They are raising money for the match and The Florence Rotary Club is
the first to donate funds. The Siuslaw Vision Action Team was formed in January
2015 to continue the process that begun at a Ford Family Foundation Alumni cele-
bration. Pictured from left are: Rotary president-elect Pat Riley, Becky Goehring,

Public Library continues its
celebration of National Arts
and Humanities Month with a
presentation by Michael Falter,
co-owner of the local movie
theater, City Lights Cinemas.
Falter will present a brief
overview of major changes in
the film industry Friday, Oct.
23, at noon, in the Bromley
Room at the main branch of the
library in Florence.
During his talk, Falter will
share his passion for the film
industry as well as his knowl-
edge of the history of film. He
will provide an informative
overview of the industry’s
major upheavals including the
monumental shift from silent
films to “talkies” and the
recent changes wrought by the
switch from 35mm film to dig-
ital.
Each of these transitions has
altered how viewers experi-
ence the art of film, and how
movie houses present films to
the public, and it is in part this
process that has created the
modern film industry.
Falter has worked in film
education and history more
than 14 years. He has taught
film, been a film programmer,
and is a leader in the nonprofit
art house community. He co-
owns City Lights Cinemas
with his wife, Susan Tive.
He is also the program direc-
tor for Pickford Film Center in
Bellingham, Wash. Falter and
Tive, together with other inde-
pendent film industry leaders,
co-founded
Art
House
Convergence, a group focused
on the quality and quantity of
art house cinemas in North
America.
The couple developed the
new Florence art cinema, City
Lights Cinemas, after discov-
ering the closed Florence
Cinemas during a visit to the
Oregon Coast in 2013. The
couple spent months designing
a feasible plan for the closed
theater and City Lights
Cinema, a “hybrid” cinema
combining mainstream com-
mercial, independent cinema,
and new performing arts pro-
grams was born.
Falter’s unique insight into
film distribution promises a
unique program of interest to
film buffs, art aficionados and
technical geeks alike.
The program is free and
open to the public.
For more information about
the program please visit the
Siuslaw Public Library in per-
son, call 541-997-3132, or visit
the library’s website at www.
siuslawlibrary.org.
