The Christmas Cabaret Catastrophe Variety Show throws some much needed cold water on the stultifying warmth of the holidays with short films by Lars von Trier, Lynne Ramsey, and Joan Baez. Von Trier's student project, Nocturne, is a claustrophobic rumination on the fright associated with a stranger (Santa, anyone?) breaking into a house; Ramsey points out that the poor stay desolate, even as stocking-stuffer fever abounds; and Baez ridicules the notion that God blesses America. Live acts the Trifles, Tinkture, and Kim Vermillion also prefer to play naughty rather than nice.
