You can still catch some great flicks tonight on the closing night of the New York Underground Film Festival. Check out Nubile Nuisance at 7PM, a series of Head Rush shorts at 8:45PM, and the dysfunctional family documentary Frank & Cindy at 9:45PM. Learn more about the festival and get tickets to tonight's films.

Meanwhile, the 14th New York African Film Festival starts tomorrow and will feature 47 features, documentaries and shorts from 20 countries ranging from Algeria to South Africa over nine days. The goal of the festival is to challenge American prejudices and notions about African life and special features will include rarely seen archival footage, including colonial propaganda films and newsreels. Filmmakers and other guest speakers will be on hand to present their work during the festival. Learn more and get tickets to the New York African Film Festival.
