ONE NIGHT IN A BARROOM A screening series of films from the early 20th century presents so-called race films, made by an all-black cast and crew. The films, which some see as the earliest American independent movies, were shown to black audiences who had no access to white theaters. The series, Early Black Independent Cinema, continues with a screening of “Ten Nights in a Barroom” (1926), a silent film adaptation of a temperance play. Produced by the Colored Players Film Corporation, it became the most popular all-black silent film. Tonight, 7 p.m., Barbes, 376 9th St. at Sixth Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn, 718-965-9177, free.

ANIMATOR’S CHOICE “The queen of cutout animation,” Martha Colburn, guest curates the next installment of the Ocularis screening series. The evening includes films by the French collective Le Dernier Cri, new work from Chinese artist Mo Xue, video by Greg Smith, and several favorite pieces of found film, as well as a selection of Ms. Colburn’s own work. Tonight, 8 p.m., Galapagos, 70 N. 6th St., between Kent and Wythe avenues, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 718-782-5188, $6.
