It may worth a trek to the Vineyard tonight, because the Katharine Cornell Theatre continues its November film series with a 7:30 screening of "Away From Her," the Julie Christie movie that follows a couple coping with Alzheimer's. The movie is buzz-worthy because it was directed by actress Sarah Polley, who is about 30 years younger than the film's stars. Tickets: $8. Katharine Cornell Theatre, 54 Spring Street, Vineyard Haven, 508-696-9369. mvfilmsociety.com.

District, a nightclub, opens its doors this afternoon for a fashion show from 1 to 4. The event features clothes by Payal Singhal, a designer from India, whose wares are a colorful mix of traditional and modern styles. The afternoon includes a sale of Singhal's holiday gift items, and because the event is called "Sip & Shop," there will also be drink specials.

If Allman Brothers covers aren't your thing, there is more tribute action at the Middle East Downstairs. Monsters of Mock II, an evening of imitators, includes music by Backsteat Lover, which covers Pearl Jam, and PISS, which covers KISS.
