‘After Life’ screens at HR Library
The Hood River Library
will show a free screening of
the film “After Life” (PG) on
May 20 at 6:30 p.m. “After
Life,” a film by award-win-
ning director KORE-EDA Hi-
rokazu, explores our pro-
found human need to discov-
er meaning in everyday life.
“After Life” is set at a way
station between Heaven and
Earth. There, guides have
less than a week to help the
newly dead sift through their
memories for one defining
moment to take with them to
Heaven. As the film reveals,
finding a life’s worth of
meaning in a single event is
no simple task.
What if you had to choose
one memory to take with you
into the afterlife?
“After Life” draws on the
recollections of hundreds of
elderly Japanese, some of
whom join the cast of the
film. Their stories reveal not
only their personal pleasures
and horrors, but also the
broader history of postwar
Japan. By portraying charac-
ters struggling to come to
terms with the past, the film
explores our attachment to
life — bursting with pride
and falsehood, pain, and
pleasure — and, most impor-
tantly, to love.
A short discussion will fol-
low the film.
This event is being orga-
nized as par t of a new
monthly discussion series on
death, dying and end-of-life
issues sponsored by the
Hood River Library. Check
the Hood River Library web-
site for future events.
The program is free and
open to the public. For more
information, please contact
the Hood River County Li-
brary District at 541-386-2535,
info@hoodriverlibrary.org,
or visit their website at

GOT ART? IS IT BIG? WE MEAN, REALLY, REALLY BIG . . .
Deadline for ‘Big Art’ May 15
Art of Community was established in 2014
by artists to build on this dynamic relation-
ship, engage the community with art and
work collaboratively to further promote and
develop public art throughout the Gorge
making it available to people of all ages and
backgrounds.
In its second year, the Art of Community
program, aka “Big Art,” consists of up to 25
sculptures on loan from artists around the
country. More sponsors have been added this
year, creating more art opportunities.
Artists are asked to submit applications
for placement of their sculptures around
Hood River’s downtown, waterfront and
Heights areas for a period of about one year.
From the submissions a committee will se-
lect a number of pieces to be installed. The
potential buyers that might be viewing your
art is quite significant.
Selections are scheduled to be made by
June 1 and the 2015-16 works installed by late
August, in time for the Sept. 4 opening re-
ception.
The artwork will all be professionally pho-
tographed in their site and we will be de-
signing and printing 20,000 Walking Tour
Maps and distribute them throughout the
Pacific Northwest to help improve artists ex-
posure to new customers.
Visit art-of-community.com to learn more,
including Artist Response information
(deadline May 15).
