Curious about what to see today at AFI Dallas? I assume you will all be going to the Art&Seek-sponsored screening of Say My Name (5:30, NorthPark). But you might also consider:
The Garden – A community garden and the City of Los Angeles’ attempt to shut it down are at the center of this Oscar-nominated documentary. 1 p.m., NorthPark
Desdemona: A Love Story – Two brothers kidnap a wealthy man’s wife and hold her for ransom in order to fund their father’s funeral in this films screening in the Texas Competition. 10:30 p.m., Magnolia. Read Jerome Week’s review here.
Soul Power – Muhammad Ali and George Foreman’s 1974 Rumble in the Jungle is already the subject of the Oscar-winning When We Were Kings. Now the 12-hour concert celebrating the event in Zaire also gets the doc treatment, with performances from James Brown, B.B. King and others. 7 p.m., NorthPark
