COMING SOON. For a week starting today, Cinema Village shows programs of Oscar-nominated short films. (On Sunday, the documentary shorts can also be seen at MOMA and the other shorts can also be seen at the Academy Theater at Lighthouse International.)

Tonight The Triplets of Belleville plays free at the Museum of Modern Art.

On Sunday night, Elaine May and Mike Nichols reunite for a chat (and a screening of the notorious bomb Ishtar) at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center. Beware: Admission is $75-$85!

And on Tuesday, John Waters offers an $8-12 presentation on Marguerite Duras and Le camion at Florence Gould Hall.
