FRIDAY

MOVIE: Don’t miss our film picks of the week, including ongoing screenings from the DC Labor FilmFest and the Arabian Sights film festival.

MUSIC: San Francisco dynamic indie folk duo The Dodos, coming off this summer’s well-received Time to Die LP release, are at the Rock and Roll Hotel. New Zealand psychsters The Ruby Suns, former Jukebox the Ghost tourmates, join in the fun. The show is currently sold out, but Craigslist has a few options. Doors at 9 p.m.

Lots of intriguing dance nights at the Black Cat this weekend, but for your ’80s alt-pop dance fix, as always, look no further than DJ lil’e’s Right Round. $8, Mainstage, 9 p.m.

The free concert series at the Library of Congress gets under way this week, with a performance by the Regev-Huang-Weilerstein Trio tonight at 8 p.m. The program will feature the alluring Alisa Weilerstein playing Mendelssohn’s first cello sonata, as well as Mendelssohn’s first piano trio and John Adams’s Road Movies. Tickets for reserved seats are already all spoken for, but if you arrive early (at the First St. entrance of the Jefferson Building) you have a very good chance of getting a stand-by seat.
