Today

The Oak Bluffs Library inviting you to bring your own dinner to their showing of a scary movie. But the really scary part is that they're not allowed to advertise movie titles online, so you'd have to call them at (508) 693-9433 to find out what it'll be. It could be fun to show up without knowing the movie, though. Doors open at 5:50 pm at 56R School Street. Click here

Tomorrow |
Film nights are also back at the Edgartown Library, focusing on award-winning international works. Tomorrow's is "Amerikatsi," about a man's return to his native Armenia in 1948 after escaping genocide. He finds his country overtaken by Soviets and is unjustly arrested. He then must learn about changes in his homeland from glimpses through his prison cell. This event is free at 6 pm to 8 pm, 26 Edgartown–West Tisbury road in Edgartown. Click here
