Friday:
• The Museum of the Moving Image screens Bertolucci's The Conformist tonight through Sunday. If facism and twisted sex aren't quite your style, Rent and the Ice Harvest are also playing this holiday weekend. [flavorpill & TONY]
• Beyond the Mirror marks the first American-Afghani theater collaboration in history, incorporating first-hand accounts, film, dance, and music into a reflection on turmoil and hope in Afghanistan. They had to come all the way here just to dance — very Footloose. [Upcoming]
Saturday:
• "Paper Engineer" Robert Sabuda demonstrates his celebrated pop-up books this afternoon. We aren't familiar with pop-ups beyond the adult genre, but apparently Mr. Sabuda does wonderful work with winter images and dinosaurs. Channel your inner geek at Books of Wonder from 12 to 2. [Upcoming]
• Flavorpill classifies tonight's Kevin Blechdom and Planningtorock w/ My Robot Friend concert under the genre of "Freakshow," and quite frankly, we can't top that. [flavorpill]
Sunday:
• Finally returned from the wilds of middle America and desperate to get your hipster on? DJ Olive's "forward-thinking exploration of turntablism called 'vinyl scores,'" should do the trick. Rediscover culture with two sets tonight at The Stone. [flavorpill]
