The upcoming season at I-House includes a screening of Kayo Hatta’s quietly stunning 1994 English-Japanese language Picture Bride (a One Book, One Philadelphia tie-in — see our pick on the Kickoff on p. 29) and a noisy Ars Nova twin bill by Merzbow and Mats Gustafsson. This week, though, I-House looks a little further into the future with its spring preview. A Sunny Day in Glasgow — the Philadelphia-by-way-of-Sydney-Australia abstract fuzz-pop ensemble — will play before screenings of film clips from two directors who’ll be featured in April and May: the blobby, nature-based science films of Roman Vishniac and sinister showman Kenneth Anger’s psilocybin-laced visions.
Thu., Jan. 17, 7 p.m., free, Inter-national House, 3701 Chestnut St., 215-387-5125, ihousephilly.org.
