With the event hosted by Augustana College's Sierra Club and featuring reflection speakers in a sustainability lifestyle panel, The Shitthropocene serves as the fourth presentation in this year's QC Environmental Film Series hosted by River Action, its February 16 presentation at Davenport's Figge Art Museum treating viewers to a 46-minute documentary that shows us how we might begin to save ourselves from ourselves, complete with the participation of dancing cave people.

Presented by Galesburg's Orpheum Theatre with support through a grant from the United Way of Knox County, a special screening of Edward Zwick's Oscar-winning 1989 drama Glory will be held at the Orpheum on February 15, its free showing intended to further promote the initiative of creating a permanent monument to honor previously unsung heroes of the American Civil War.

Treating science-fiction fans to a trio of classics set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far way, Galesburg's Orpheum Theatre hosts its Star Wars Film Series with presentations of three of creator George Lucas' Academy Award-winning classics: 1977's original A New Hope, 1980's The Empire Strikes Back, and 1983's Return of the Jedi.
