Scorpio Rising

"P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center presents 'Kenneth Anger,' the first major survey of the filmmaker's body of work at a US museum in over a decade." On view through September 14.

Today's the last day to catch "Made in USA" and/or "Two or Three Things I Know About Her" at Film Forum in New York, but "Godard in the 1960s" runs on at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, through March 7. At the House Next Door, Miriam Bale interviews Richard Brody, author of "Everything is Cinema: The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard."

"Last week saw the launch of Kinoteka, the seventh annual Polish film festival in the UK, to mark the start of Polska! Year, a year-long celebration of the country's culture in Britain," writes Oginia O'Dell for the Guardian. "Festival highlights include an anniversary celebration of the work of late veteran auteur Krzysztof Kieślowski and a retrospective of Polish cinema's enfant terrible Jerzy Skolimowski, as well as films by rising stars Marcin Koszałka and Locarno award-winner Małgorzata Szumowska."

AJ Schnack IMs with True/False Film Festival co-director David Wilson.
