Ends Sunday: This festival lives up to its name with "Bag Boy Lover Boy" (10 p.m. Fri.), an intriguingly sick trifle about an odd-looking hot dog vendor who gets used by a sleazy photographer, and "The Canal" (9:30 p.m. Sat.), a horror whodunit about a man suspected of his cheating wife's murder while dealing with a menacing ghost leftover from a century-old murder in his house. (St. Anthony Main, $9 per film or buy a pass, www.mplsunder groundfilmfestival.com.)

Wednesday: Walker Art Center salutes the English writer/director each Wednesday this month, starting next week with 1977's "Jubilee," in which a time-traveling Queen Elizabeth I faces packs of bloodthirsty 1970s yobs. Videos he directed for Marianne Faithfull and the Smiths are tossed in as a bonus. (7 p.m. Wed., $9, 612-375-7600, www.walkerart.org.)
