THE MOVIE "The Grateful Dead Movie"
THE DEAL Local theaters next week will hold a one-night screening of this 1977 film, co-directed by Jerry Garcia and Leon Gast ("When We Were Kings"), which captures the band's five-night stand at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom in October 1974. The film shows drummer Mickey Hart rejoining the band -- permanently, it would turn out -- and features renditions of "U.S. Blues," "Truckin'," "Casey Jones" and "Johnny B. Goode."
INFO Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at Farmingdale Multiplex Cinemas; Island 16 Cinema De Lux, Holtsville; Port Washington Cinemas; Stony Brook 17; and Westbury Stadium 12. Go to fathomevents.com.
WHO Kiefer Sutherland
THE MOVIE "24"
THE DEAL The stealth publicity campaign for the movie version of Fox's action-thriller series continues. Following Sutherland's announcement on ABC's "The View" last month, producer Brian Grazer recently sent out a tweet on his newly established Twitter account: "Got off the phone with Keifer yesterday, and we are very excited about producing the '24' movie for next year." The Emmy-winning show, starring Sutherland as an overworked counterterrorism agent, ended last year.
THE MOVIE "Incendies"
THE DEAL This Oscar-nominated Canadian drama, which follows a twin brother and sister as they journey to the Middle East to unlock a family secret, is scheduled for release April 22 in Manhattan but will be shown locally in a sneak preview as part of the Furman Film Series. It is in French with English subtitles.
INFO Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Squire Cinemas, 115 Middle Neck Rd., Great Neck. Tickets are $20. 516-829-2570; greatneckarts.org.
