A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness is an intriguing, atmospheric film that follows an unnamed character through three scenes in his life — two set in relatively idyllic places, the third a black-metal show. It stars Robert AA Lowe of OM and the stage persona Lichens, and screens at SPACE Gallery (538 Congress St., Portland) at 7:30 p.m. Tix: $8. 828-5600. space538.org.
