North Coast Harbor
Join us for our 2025 Fall Film Series, where we explore films that highlight the powerful connection between music and comedy, in celebration of our new exhibit SNL: Ladies & Gentlemen…50 Years Of Music.
This week, we’re showcasing Richard Linklater’s 2003 comedy School of Rock, where the overly enthusiastic guitarist Dewey Finn (Jack Black) is kicked out of his band and ends up posing as a substitute music teacher at an elite private elementary school. He teaches his students about the hard rock gods he idolizes and emulates – much to the consternation of the uptight principal (Joan Cusack). As he gets his privileged, precocious, and talented students to “live hardcore” he imagines redemption at a local Battle of the Bands.

Join the Ohio Center for the Book at Clevo Books (1026 Euclid Ave), a downtown Cleveland bookstore specializing in translated works of literature, for a discussion on Die, My Love by Ariana Harwicz, and translated from the Spanish by Carolina Orloff and Sarah Moses.
From the publisher: "In a forgotten patch of French countryside, a woman is battling her demons: embracing exclusion yet wanting to belong, craving freedom whilst feeling trapped, yearning for family life but wanting to burn the entire house down. Given surprising leeway by her family for her increasingly erratic behavior, she nevertheless feels ever more stifled and repressed. Motherhood, womanhood, the banality of love, the terrors of desire, the brutality of ‘another person carrying your heart forever’: Die, My Love faces all this with a raw intensity. It’s not a question of if a breaking point will be reached, but rather when, and how violent a form will it take?".
