NOSTALGIA FOR THE LIGHT (2010)—Filmmaker Patricio Guzmán (The Battle of Chile), returned to his homeland for this documentary set in the Atacama Desert, which is visited by both astronomers exploring the universe’s outermost edges and mothers of the “disappeared” searching for remains of their missing sons and daughters.

THE STRANGER (1946)—Orson Welles directed and stars in this suspense drama as a Nazi hiding out in small American town, where he is tracked down by Edward G. Robinson. Even though Welles only took the assignment in the hope that the studio would reward him with backing for other films, it’s as well-crafted a film as he ever made, with a particularly bracing finale. Thurs July 21 8 pm. The Screening Room, Northtown Plaza in Century Mall, 3131 Sheridan Drive, Amherst (837-0376 / www.screeningroom.net).
