Mar. 27: 

“Chris & Heather’s 16mm Big Screen Blowout.” Heather McAdams and Chris Ligon share shorts from their vintage film collection, edited in their signature bumper-to-bumper style. The program includes hilariously trashy trailers for films like Swedish Swingers and Trip with the Teacher, forgotten TV commercials for goofy games like Town Dump, songs by Ricky Nelson and the Staple Singers, and more. 9 p.m.
