Harvard Exit

4:45 p.m. — "Red Without Blue": "No matter what happens, Clair and I will always be identical twins," says Mark Farley, his gentle voice resolute. In this thoughtful, haunting documentary from Brooke Sebold, Todd Sills and Benita Sills, we're invited into the Farley family, particularly Mark and his now transgender twin (formerly brother Alex, now sister Clair). The film sympathetically captures the process of a brave family making tentative, loving steps toward acceptance, as one twin copes with a new identity and the other, once a mirror image, with "imagining me transforming into something else." 77 minutes. Directors Todd and Benita Sills are scheduled to attend the screening. (Moira Macdonald)

7 p.m. — "White Light/

Black Rain"

9:30 p.m. — "American Shopper": Consumer culture reaches a new plateau with the introduction of "aisling" — an anything-goes sport that incorporates martial arts, modern dance and the aesthetics of a costume party. The goal is to avoid the chorelike nature of supermarket shopping and turn it into a game. The prize for the first competition is $10,000. As the would-be winners practice their techniques, customize their carts, dust off their motivational speeches and otherwise prepare for the big day, there's so much mugging for the cameras (and the judges) that you wonder if you're watching a feature-length put-on. Could Christopher Guest be anywhere in the vicinity? 84 minutes. Directors Tamas Bojtor and Sybil Dessau are scheduled to attend the screening. (John Hartl)

7 p.m. — "Soldiers of Conscience": "Nothing ever prepares you for the reality of war," says one of the subjects in Gary Weimberg and Catherine Ryan's thoughtful documentary about enlisted soldiers who come to realize that they cannot kill. The film contains fascinating historical background (for example, research has shown that only 25 percent of those in World War II combat fired their weapons) as well as tight and balanced storytelling, focusing on four Iraq war soldiers and their decisions. Two go to jail; two are granted honorable discharges as conscientious objectors; all hold steady to their convictions. Says Aidan Delgado, now an activist for peace: "I saw my enemy. I had no hatred for them." 85 minutes. Directors Ryan and Weimberg are scheduled to attend the screening. Only a few tickets left. (M.M.)
