Though it opens at the Lagoon Cinema this coming Friday, the Walker Art Center has arranged a last-minute free screening of Gus Van Sant’s new film, Paranoid Park.

When an unsolved murder at Portland’s infamous Paranoid Park brings the police to a local high school, Alex decides to say nothing as the investigation intensifies.

The bigger and better news, however, is that documentarian Errol Morris‘ new film, Standard Operating Procedure, will be showing at the Walker on April 15 with Morris himself there in person for a post-screening Q&A. Photographs by Nubar Alexanian, who has been granted unrestricted behind-the-scenes access on Morris’ films for the past 15 years, will be on view in the Art Lab before and after the screening, and he will be available to sign copies of his new book, Nonfiction: Photographs by Nubar Alexanian from the Film Sets of Errol Morris.

Groundbreaking Academy Award–winning documentarian Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line, The Fog of War) investigates what he calls “the mystery” behind the images that shocked the world; the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

Tickets will go on sale at 11am on Tuesday, March 18.
