6 Tuesday: From 6:30-7:30 p.m., an adult crafting program will be held at the Coronado Public Library. This month, participants can relax for Mental Health Awareness Month by painting soothing zentangles. All supplies are provided. This event is free thanks to the support of the Friends of the Coronado Public Library. Registration is recommended but not required. Register and learn more about this event at coronadolibrary.org.
7 Wednesday: The Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents Film Forum Coronado, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the library’s Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story. The film shown on May 7 will be “The Magnificent Ambersons.”
10 Saturday: In this collaborative film class with executive producer Tony Perri, aspiring filmmakers will work together to create a short film that will be submitted to the Coronado Island Film Festival.
Participants will learn scripting, direction and every aspect of pre-production, production and post-production. The course is eight weeks long and participants are encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible on Saturdays from 1 to 2 p.m. Registration closes at coronado.librarycalendar.com on May 11.
