Foreign Film to be shown Friday COOS BAY — The “Friday Foreign Film” series at Coos Bay Public Library continues at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10. The multiple award-winning festival favorite Attenberg (Greece, 2010) is this month’s feature. Part of the new wave of Greek cinema, Attenberg is an offbeat coming-of-age film. Marina, a sexually inexperienced 23-year-old woman, lives with her terminally ill architect father, Spyros, in an industrial Greek town by the sea. Finding the human species strange and repellent, she
keeps her distance. Instead she stubbornly observes it through the mammal documentaries of Sir David Attenborough and the music of electropunk pioneers Suicide. While preparing for her father’s impending death, Marina discovers her own sexuality through lessons from her only friend, Bella, and a visiting engineer. Part abstract performance art, part family melodrama, Attenberg gets down in the emotional muck where life, death and sex intertwine. This film about disconnectedness
that combines intellectual and emotional rigor with a sardonic, often black humor, exudes both a refreshing innocence (despite being brutally frank on the subjects of death and sexuality) and bracing sense of discovery. The “Friday Foreign Film” series, sponsored by the Friends of Coos Bay Public Library, is normally held on the second Friday of the month and is free to the public. Many of these films are not rated and parental discretion is advised. For more information call 541-269-1101.
Connect the Boardwalks to meet COOS BAY — CONNECT! the Boardwalks will meet from 6-7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16, at Southwestern Oregon Community College, Coos Bay Campus, in the Hales Center for the Performing Arts, Lakeview Room G. CONNECT! the Boardwalks is a “Friends” association supporting the creation and improvement of the Coos Waterfront Walkway through public
awareness. Volunteers are needed to prepare for the hike on June 21 in support of the Coos Waterfront Walkway. Needed volunteer services include: Printing and copying services for flyers, posters, and brochures; shuttle support and Tshirt production for hikers.
