The Martha’s Vineyard Film Society is opening its off-season this month with two documentaries and a feature comedy. All films are shown at the Katharine Cornell Theatre in Vineyard Haven and begin at 7:30 p.m.

Life on Ice

Think it gets cold, dark and lonely on the Vineyard in winter? How about spending some time in that country whose very name thickens the blood: Iceland.

Or better yet, maybe stay here and look at some pictures.

Pizza Preservation

Flatbread Pizza continues its benefit nights with an evening devoted to the West Tisbury Congregational Church on Tuesday, Oct. 4 from 5 to 9 p.m.

During these hours a portion of proceeds from all pizza sales will go to help the church’s capital campaign to preserve the historic church and improve accessibility started this summer. There will also be a silent auction.

Oak Bluffs School Benefit

Fine jewelry, culinary treats, unique experiences and other items will be up for auction on Sunday, Oct. 2 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Farm Neck. All proceeds benefit the Oak Bluffs School eighth grade trip to New York city and Philadelphia. Oak Bluffs School assistant principal Carlin Hart will preside as auctioneer.

The trip, which takes place in June, concludes a year of studying American history.

Cycle MV Ride

How are the thighs feeling? Good or really, really, really good. If in the second category, the Island has just the event for you this Saturday, Oct. 1. Hop on a bike and ride 100 kilometers for charity. For those of the wimpy sort there is also a 50K race.
