Tom Catmull returns to Idaho State University this Thursday for the free Concert on the Quad at 6 p.m. Catmull is a songwriter originally from Gulf Coast, Texas, who transplanted to Western Montana in 1994. Catmull plays a blend of country, folk, pop, shuffles, waltzes, rock and more. All are welcome to attend.

The movie “Eternity” plays this Friday at 5 and 7:30 p.m. in the Bengal Theater at the ISU Pond Student Union. Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner star in this story about a woman who dies and must spend seven days in a bureaucratic afterlife deciding whether to spend forever with her husband of 50+ years or her first love who died a decade earlier. “The film is fantastical, yet grounded in moving truths, warm and heart tugging and laugh-out-loud witty. You exit its world with a glow of satisfaction,” writes The Australian, while Slate magazine adds, “The resulting film is pretty darn cute.” Admission is free for ISU students, $2 for ISU staff and $3 for the public. For trailer and more information, go to isucinema.com/eternity.

Looking ahead to next week, the triennial Idaho International Choral Festival returns to Pocatello with inspiring concert performances from July 15–18, culminating in a spectacular finale at the Jensen Grand Concert Hall in the Stephens Performing Arts Center. Bringing choirs from around the world, the festival provides a unique opportunity for students and the community to experience a “universal language of music” that unites different races, cultures and nationalities. For more information and a schedule for the festival, please visit idahointerchoralfest.org.

“The Christophers” plays July 17 at 5 and 7:30 p.m. in the Bengal Theater. This comedy/drama stars Ian McKellen in a story about a once-celebrated, aging London artist whose estranged, greedy children hire a young, technically brilliant art forger to secretly complete his legendary unfinished canvases so they can cash in on a fortune after his death. Admission is free for ISU students, $2 for ISU staff and $3 for the public. For trailer and more information, go to isucinema.com/christophers.
