Fri 23 Apr, 6:30 pm. Friday, April 23, 6:30 p.m. Saturday, April 24, 2 p.m. Sunday, April 25, 2 p.m. NR Though almost forgotten today, Veit Harlan was one of Nazi Germany’s most notorious filmmakers. Millions all across occupied Europe saw his films, the most treacherous of which was the anti-Semitic propaganda film Jew Süss—required viewing for all S.S. members. An unrepentant and blindly obsessive craftsman, no figure—save for Leni Riefenstahl—is as closely associated with the cinema of the Holocaust years as that of Joseph Goebbels’ top director. Harlan was also the only artist from the Nazi era to be charged with war crimes. Seven Congress Square, Portland, 04101. 207-775-6148, info@portlandmuseum.org. Portland Museum of Art - [more][events]

Fri 30 Apr, 6:30 pm. Friday, April 30, 6:30 p.m. Saturday, May 1, 2 p.m. Sunday, May 2, 2 p.m. NR The charismatic Gianni Di Gregorio stars in his directorial debut Mid-August Lunch—an utterly charming tale of good food, feisty ladies, and unlikely friendships during a very Roman holiday. Broke, and armed with only a glass of wine and a wry sense of humor, middle-aged Gianni resides with his 93-year-old mother in their ancient apartment. The condo debts are mounting, but if Gianni looks after the building manager’s mother during the Pranzo di Ferragosto (Italy’s biggest summer holiday and the Feast of the Assumption), all will be forgiven. Then the manager also shows up with an auntie, and then a doctor friend appears with his mother in tow…Can Gianni keep four such lively mam.
