The Warrenton Community Library is hosting author R.J. Marx at "Library After Dark" on Saturday, November 8 at 4 p.m. R.J. will share more about his research process, read excerpts from his work and answer audience questions. R.J. Marx is a veteran journalist and editor whose most recent book is "Seaside’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Riots: How a Coastal City’s Labor Day Riots Heralded a Decade of Unrest". After a two-decade career as editor of the award-winning Record-Review in New York’s Westchester County, he relocated to the Oregon Coast in 2015, serving as editor of the "Seaside Signal" and "Cannon Beach Gazette" until his retirement in 2023. His time on the North Coast introduced Marx to the historical events of Seaside in the 1960s. Two years of research, including in-depth interviews with eyewitnesses, culminated in "Seaside’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Riots". In addition to his writing, Marx is a gigging jazz saxophonist. Stay updated with his newsletter at rjmarx.substack.com and on the “Seaside Rock ‘n’ Roll Riots” Facebook page. Author talk starts at 4 p.m.; refreshments and mingling at 5 p.m. Special thanks to Gaetano's Market and Deli for sponsoring the food. "Library After Dark" is a monthly PNW author series.

The Oregon Film Museum is proud to inspire the next generation of storytellers across our state. We are thrilled to announce the third annual Oregon Film Museum Selig Award, an honor presented each year to a young Oregonian making a meaningful impact in the local film industry.

Join us for the award presentation ceremony, which is free and open to the public.

Our partner, Outside the Frame, is a dynamic Portland-based nonprofit that empowers homeless and marginalized youth to become directors of their own films—and their own lives. Through filmmaking, OTF provides creative expression, job skills, a supportive audience, and a renewed sense of dignity and possibility. Their mission is simple yet powerful: If youth experiencing homelessness can make films, they can do anything.

The Selig Award is named in honor of William Selig, founder of the pioneering Selig Polyscope Company. Selig’s innovations helped shape the early film industry, including the creation of Hollywood, cliffhangers, multi-reel films, and travelogues. In 1909, his company filmed The Fisherman’s Bride in Astoria—the first commercial narrative film shot in Oregon.
