Sign up for ENCORE winter classes Celebrate MLK Day with a film
ASTORIA — Whether you’re
interested in learning to play
bridge, talking about science
or writing poetry, or wanting
to take an AARP refresher
lesson on driving, ENCORE
is the place to be.
ENCORE is a mem-
ber-run organization for ages
50 and older that operates
under Clatsop Community
College. ENCORE offers
short-term courses and activ-
ities for members as well as
networking opportunities.
You might also take
classes on the philosophy of
different religions, or look
behind the curtains of the
local seafood industry (with
field trips), or explore the
mythologies of ancient cul-
tures through comparative
literature.
If you lean toward visual
art, then a class in watercol-
or painting or a course in
shading and coloring with
pencils might be for you;
ENCORE offers that too.
There’s even a course on
“The Aging Brain,” a condi-
tion that ENCORE’s lively
classes might help slow
down. There’s also a class
on aging gracefully.
If you are not a mem-
ber, come to any class that
interests you. You can attend
two classes as a guest before
becoming a member. Pre-
registration is only required
for the AARP Smart Driving
course in March.
Winter classes run from
Jan. 16 through March 10.

ASTORIA — The Astoria
International Film Festival
will present two films in its
annual Winter Film Series.
The first film, “DAR
HE: The Lynching of
Emmett Till,” will be
screened at 2 p.m. Sun-
day, Jan. 15 at the Liberty
Theatre, located at 1203
Commercial St. Tickets
cost $5.
Presented as a tribute to
Martin Luther King Jr.’s
birthday, the documentary
“DAR HE: The Lynching
of Emmett Till” tells the
true story of a hate crime
that changed America. The
film is crafted from the
public record: a transfix-
ing, true dramatization
of the historic interviews
and events surrounding
the murder that became
a lightning rod for moral
outrage and pivotal in
inspiring a generation of
young people to commit to
social change in the 1950s.
Directed by Rob Under-
hill, the film was adapted
from the acclaimed one-
man play “Dar He: The
Story of Emmett Till,”
which was written and per-
formed by Mike Wiley. In
the play and the film, Wi-
ley plays every character.
The second film in
the Winter Film Series,
a tribute to Robert Red-
ford, who turns 80 this
year, will be the 1967 film
“Barefoot in the Park.”
The film will be screened
at 2 p.m. Feb. 5 at the
Liberty Theatre.
