To wrap up the Aughts, Second Avenue institution Anthology Film Archive hand-picks its blue-ribbon screenings from calendars past. Opening this retrospective are four recent shorts by the ever-experimental Alfred Leslie, the filmmaker who co-directed the beatific Pull My Daisy a half-century back; nowadays, he creates shorts like Songs of the Blue-Footed Boobies, a collage of cabaret music, film clips, and Frank O'Hara poems. Beside dedicated programs to James Nares, Beryl Sokoloff, and Jim McBride and his incisive cinema-vérité, there's George Stoney's How to Look at a City and the Harlem River-focused Cargo of Lure — one of film critic par excellence J. Hoberman's experiments in the medium.
