Movies

-- The HFA winds down its Ken Jacobs retrospective with a 93 minute video work that manipulates a one-minute-long Edison film until it becomes a dizzyingly endless environment. Using digital tricks to tease out the three dimensional space in Edison's two dimensional images, old fashioned stereoscopic techniques, and, probably, lots of flickering, Jacobs reconstructs Edison's work as something hauntingly new. Director will be on hand to blithely dismiss audience questions. Harvard Film Archive, Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge, 3 p.m. $10.

Sketching

-- Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School life drawing sessions continue. Try not to be the creepiest person in the room. Great Scott, 1222 Comm. Ave., Allston, 2:30 p.m. $7.

Gender Bending

-- Trannies take the stage for Traniwreck, Boston's only all-gender, all-genre burlesque variety show. Expect comedy, ruckus, and tons of gayness. An event so bizarre that Bay Windows calls it Boston's "most surreal." Milky Way, 403 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain, 9 p.m. $7.
