The reviews have been wildly mixed for Bryan Poyser’s Love & Air Sex, which premiered at last year’s South by Southwest under the much more innocuous title of The Bounceback. Set and filmed in Austin, this comedy is about people trying to repair their relationships against the backdrop of the Air Sex World Championships (a real thing, by the way). The movie screens at 7pm at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St, FW. Tickets are $7-10. Call 817-738-9215.

Dark Circles Contemporary Dance turned heads across North Texas when the company started giving performances here last year. They look to continue that with White Day, a program of dances inspired by the March 14 holiday devoted to romance in Japan and South Korea. The new pieces by Joshua L.

Tickets are $12-20. Call 575-993-3584.

About as subtle as a sledgehammer, D.W. Griffith’s 1920 silent melodrama Way Down East is famous for a scene with lead actors Richard Barthelmess and Lillian Gish walking across ice floes being carried toward a waterfall, which was filmed without stunt performers or any precautions taken to protect the actors if something went wrong. ArthouseFW’s screening, with Paul Slavens and others providing live musical accompaniment, starts at 2pm at the Kimbell Art Museum, 3333 Camp Bowie Blvd, FW. Admission is $5-7. Call 817-924-6000.
