LECTURE: Acclaimed director Terry Zwigoff will be talking about his work as part of San Francisco Art Institute's Radical Directing Lecture Series, which is free and open to the public and "emphasizes techniques and styles that veer from traditional narratives." (7 p.m., San Francisco Art Institute, 800 Chestnut Street)

FILM: Tonight's likely your last chance to catch Rick Prelinger Lost Landscapes #6, "a feature-length program of historical intervention and carnivalesque celebration," including unique drive-thru footage of the Old Produce Market (now Golden Gateway) in the late 1940s, cruising the newly-built Embarcadero Freeway, grungy back streets in North Beach, the sandswept Sunset District in the 1930s, and newly-rediscovered Cinemascope footage of Playland, the Sky Tram and San Francisco scenes, all in Kodachrome. (7 p.m., CounterPULSE, 1310 Mission Street)

FOOD: The 2012 Cocktails of the Farmers Market series kicks off tonight with Lady Leap Year, featuring an all-female lineup of star bartenders, in celebration of a folk tradition from the early 20th Century when women were encouraged to propose marriage during leap years. (5:30 to 8 p.m., The CUESA Kitchen at the Ferry Building, 1 Ferry Building)
