This (Monday) evening, the Iranian film screening series resumes (presented at Carbon Arc) with No Date, No Signature, last year’s well-regarded social drama “shot in elegant, nearly black-and-white images highlighted with faint traces of color.”

The Greta Gerwig screening series at the Central Library continues Tuesday with Frances Ha, the 2013 film that Gerwig co-scripted with her partner Noah Baumbach, introduced by Chris Campbell.
