FILM: The Secret of Grain, which was just a part of the New French Films series at BAM, will screen tonight at the Walter Reade Theater. The film is "a heart-wrenching, naturalistic portrait of the lives of immigrant workers and their families in present day France. A recently-out-of-work immigrant worker of Tunisian origin uses the little money he has saved to open a couscous restaurant on the harbor in Marseilles."

7 p.m. // Walter Reade Theater [70 Lincoln Center Plaza] // $11

THEATER: The Aquila Theater Company is staging a theatrical adaptation of Joseph Heller's groundbreaking satirical novel Catch-22. Martin Denton says the production "moves effortlessly from scene to scene...The principal style of the show is farcical, but Meineck shrewdly interrupts the quick comic pace for stylized renderings of the bombing missions and, occasionally, a character's death: these are the only parts of Catch-22 that are somber, which is just as it should be: [Director Peter] Meineck understands, if many of the play's characters do not, that death is not to be treated lightly." – John Del Signore

8 p.m. // Lucille Lortel Theatre [121 Christopher St] // $49
