The Lotus Eaters. The Sirens. The Cyclops. Presumably "The Odyssey," the screening/reading/concert/multimedia happening that the Brattle's hosting tonight at 8:00 pm, will include these all-time Homer hits. The brainchild of writer Andrea Lawlor and filmmaker Bernadine Mellis, the project includes 24 short films by different artist collectives -- mostly queers, trans, and women -- corresponding to the 24 chapters on Odysseus' peregrinations. (I'm not sure, but I believe that's Nausicaa pictured above.)

Accompaniment on the accordian and saw by Ryder Cooley, and, no, I'm not making that up. If you can't get to the show, there's a zine available with a companion DVD containing all the films.

No word on whether Circe will show up to turn any Harvard men in the audience into swine.
