JBFC PROGRAMMERS’ PICKS 2019. Jacob Burns Film Center, 364 Manville Rd., Pleasantville. A selection of films that, perhaps, didn’t get the attention or audiences they deserved this past year. Feb. 26: “You Were Never Really Here.” 7:30 p.m. A traumatized veteran, unafraid of violence and suffering from severe PTSD, finds and rescues missing girls for a living. When a routine job spins wildly out of control, Joe’s nightmares overtake him as an uncovered conspiracy leads him down a dark and violent path to what may be a death trip—or a spiritual awakening. Please note, this film contains moments of graphic, violent imagery—viewer discretion is advised. Feb. 27: “Happy as Lazzaro.” 7:15 p.m. Pure-hearted, cherubic teenager Lazzaro is content living as a sharecropper on a remote tobacco farm in the Italian countryside, where his good nature and decency makes him both cherished and exploited by those around him.

“ALL SCREWED UP.” Westchester Italian Cultural Center, 1 Generoso Pope Pl., Tuckahoe. 7 p.m. This outrageous comedy tells the story of Gigi and Carletto, two Southern Italian country boys who travel north to get work in Milan.
