“ALLE JUDEN RAUS! (ALL JEWS OUT!)”(Germany; Emanuel Rund; Nuart, 7 p.m.). This documentary about the return of Holocaust survivors to their small German hometown has moments of agonizing effectiveness.

“102 BOULEVARD HAUSSMAN”(Great Britain; Udayan Prasad; Nuart, 9 p.m.). Writer Alan Bennett concocted this fascinating reverie about Marcel Proust and his fixation on a comely viola player.
