Participants not only learn, but will take a crocheted bowl home. All experience levels are welcome. [CJ] 3-4:30pm Thursday, Oct. 2. Harrison Memorial Library, Ocean and Lincoln, Carmel. Free. (831) 624-4629, ci.carmel.ca.us/library. MODERN CLASSIC Is Jonathan Demme’s Stop Making Sense, which captures a three-night Talking Heads run in Hollywood in December 1983, the greatest concert film of all time? The consensus on Rotten Tomatoes says so, while D.A. Pennebaker’s Monterey Pop, about the legendary 1967 show in Monterey, ranks 29th on that list. The Talking Heads were at their peak in 1983, pushing boundaries and creating a sound and vibe that was entirely original, and helped define a decade. Newly restored last year for the film’s 40th anniversary, it’s coming to Golden State for one night only. [DS] 7pm Thursday, Oct. 2. Golden State Theatre, 417 Alvarado St., Monterey. $46-$93. (831) 649-1070, goldenstatetheatre.com. Thursday, Oct. 2-Sunday, Oct. 5 FILM UP The Carmel International Film Festival stays true to its name: It showcases films from around the world. But our little slice of the world is also well represented. Student filmmakers from Carmel High School are on the schedule with their short films, including Mind Scape by 16-year-old Dorien Jeffers, about a young boy who uploads artificial intelligence into his brain, with trouble ensuing. This year’s four-day festival also includes a fundraising party for The Soul Points Fund, which provides support to the victims of the Los Angeles fires earlier this year. Panel sessions with actors, producers, cinematographers and others in the biz round out the schedule. [EC] 26 MONTEREY COUNTY WEEKLY OCTOBER 2-8, 2025 www.montereycountynow.com C.K. TUTTLE Pacific Grove Public Library has a new exhibit, Pacific Grove at 150: Images from the Founding Years from the Pat Hathaway Collection. Pat Hathaway was the Monterey Peninsula’s chronicler of California history. In addition to being a prolific photographer himself, he built one of the largest privately held collections of historical images related to Monterey County, dating back to the mid-1800s. His entire collection— comprising more than 80,000 historic and 470,000 original photographs—was donated to the Monterey County Historical Society. The exhibit includes works like the one above by C.K. Tuttle, an early druggist in Pacific Grove. The opening reception is 5-7pm Friday, Oct. 3.

TUTTLE VISUALS STEFANNA MURPHY-ROBINS Stefanna Murphy-Robins is a mosaic artist and a member of the Seaside Artist Association, which recently hosted its 18th Annual Seaside Art Tour, with 32 artists involved at four venues. Murphy-Robins has been working in Crack Pot Studio in Pacific Grove for the last 25 years, transforming shards into art. “When I go to my studio, every day I see boxes and bags people leave for me,” she says about crushed object pieces (pottery, tile, dishes) she repurposes into mosaics so that “they can live again.” Above we see old silver tea trays she covered with stained glass. In Murphy-Robins’ work, her Eastern and Central European heritage is visible in patterns and colors. Crack Pot Studio is located at 170 Grand Ave. in Pacific Grove and will be open during First Friday Pacific Grove on Oct. 3 until 8pm. Visit the Seaside Artists Association on Facebook to learn more about the group. [AP] A 7-year-old child diagnosed with autism spoke their first words while working with a horse.
