One of the countless trends in the non-profit arts world that we run across during the course of our day job is new initiatives by august institutions to ply their wares to younger audiences, kinda like Pepsi's "Choice of a New Generation" Campaign years back. SF360 is an effort of said type by the San Francisco Film Society. Tonight the Society presents the latest SF360 Film+Club a once-a-month evening of film and clubbing, featuring selected highlights from the truly unique Wholphin DVD collection of rare and unseen short films, assembled by the McSweeney’s junta, at Mezzanine (444 Jessie St at Mint). Films feature John C Reilly, Miranda July, Dennis Hopper and squids. Free Peroni beer. (7:30 pm)

In the East Bay, over at Ashkenaz in Berkeley (1317 San Pablo Ave at Gilman), the Fishtank Ensemble will be "Evoking the spirit of a past age with the sounds of tomorrow," and you can dance to it. Fishtank Ensemble plays a unique blend of Gypsy, Balkan, klezmer, and original music, with original compositions that add flamenco guitar, French chançon, and Swedish and Japanese folk music, all rendered with a rare instrumental lineup.
