Wednesday Happenings

Film still courtesy MassArt Film Society.

If you didn't catch Phil Solomon disease at the HFA on Monday, you'll have a second chance tonight at MassArt. The experimental filmmaker is an alumnus of the college, and he's bringing a clutch of his films to screen tonight, including Seasons... (2002), which he made with his mentor Stan Brakhage, and the third and last installment of the series In Memoriam (Mark Lapore), the film Still Raining, Still Dreaming (2009). Organized by the MassArt Film Society. Film Department Screening Room, Massachusetts College of Art and DEsign, 621 Huntington Ave., 8 p.m. $4/Free.

Laughs

Whether or not you find Steve Martin too dry for an entire evening's worth of entertainment, which we, for the record, do not, can you afford the tickets to tonight's performance? We, for the record, cannot. CitiWang, 270 Tremont St., 8 p.m. $39 to $75.

Propaganda

If you aren't going to tonight's free screening of Segei Eisenstein's propaganda film October (1928) to learn a thing or two about montage, are you going to count the Che Guevara shirts? If there's a betting pool, we're setting the over-under at 6. Harvard Film Archive, Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge, 7 p.m. Free.
