In the decades between 1880 and 1900, American Indians underwent significant cultural transformations as a result of European settlers who thrust them into reservations and Euro-American customs. During this period, William J. Lenny and William L. Sawyers opened a photo studio in Purcell, Okla., near the reservations, and photographed American Indians in both their traditional dress and the current fashions of the time.read more at austin360.com

The animated Budapest ghetto-dwellers in 2004’s The District! cycle through cut-out facial expressions, launch into exuberant hip-hop songs, and live in oddly warped buildings, but Aron Gauder’s film continually pushes the filth and absurdity up front with its giddy sensory wonders. (In one scene, a used condom and some dog shit on the sidewalk provide visual aid for an epiphany.) A group of scrappy kids go back in time to buy some mammoths and beef up the world’s oil reserves, but their scheme quickly fattens up the neighborhood’s rival Ukrainian and Gypsy gangs, making way for one the funniest cataclysms you’re likely to see in a movie this year (through Nov. 22)
