The Tank 279 Church, at White, Manhattan 9:30p doors, 10p Jekyll, 11p Lost Film Festival; $10 612 735 8366 http://www.thetanknyc.org http://www.lostfilmfest.org Lost Film Fest If you like pranks on corporations and you really hate George W Bush, you'll love the Lost Film Fest. The program is hosted by Scott Beibin and travels the planet year round doing over 200 shows in all kinds of settings. It's an interactive performance that incorporates politically charged and humorous short films by folks like the Yes Men, Guerrilla News Network, and news that mysteriously doesn't make the news (riot porn!). The program changes all the time with new stuff added to the mix. You might even get to see the fabled episode of Jerry Springer with the Locust and Beibin. Don't miss your opportunity to catch it when it's in town. Tonight's show is preceded by a 1920 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with a live score by the Devil Music Ensemble. via Nonsense NYC
