Eno House Movie Nights continues this Saturday, April 26, with "1930's/1960's." This program looks at these two American decades with a selection of short films and clips from longer ones. The 1930's are examined in newsreel footage from the brilliant and thoughtful compilation film "America Lost and Found" (Lance Bird and Tom Johnson, 1981) and the 1960's in Charles Braverman's "The Sixties," made from a wide variety of visual material with his trademark fast cutting - it's the 1960's, right? Rounding out the program are 1960's television commercials, a bit of 1930's anarchic satire from the Marx Brothers, and other bits of cinematic flotsam and jetsam. The show is presented in 16mm.

"1930's/1960's" will be shown at 8:00 at Eno House, located at 903 Eno Street in Hillsborough. Tickets are $10; 18 and under is $5; 12 and under is free with adult. Doors open at 7:30. BYOB.
