Last month, there was the convergent hoopla of 08/08/08. Tonight, Anthology splits the integer for an evening of four-play featuring cinematic arcana and other offbeat reels from the vaults. After a four-minute movie, a 35mm film with four perforations per frame, and an exercise wherein four different formats are projected at the same time, the visual adventure culminates with a delirious clincher: a quad-projector version of Dziga Vertov's hurtling agitprop "documentary," Man with a Movie Camera (1929). Like the argot-spouting loon on the A train who takes the poll without a vote, the program unspools with a shock-and-awe design. So step in and stand clear.
