Fred Tan’s Split of the Spirit + Ben Rivers’s Things at Light Industry
The evening’s double bill presents films that favor atmospheric effects over plot. The synth soundtrack that accompanies Fred Tan’s thiller above sets the mood, while Ben River’s pairing of “found” sounds with images of everyday household objects imbues them with an almost sinister air.

Light Industry, 155 Freeman Street, Brooklyn at 7:30 p.m.

Guy Maddin & Evan Johnson’s “The Forbidden Room” at Videology
Dive deep into Maddin’s latest feature, which is set beneath the waves. This “post-Freudian horror comedy” by one of Canada’s weirdest directors is a nod to the early days of cinema in both sound and vision.

Videology, 308 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn at 8:30 p.m.
