Good fella

With Martin Scorsese's good (but not great) Shine a Light in theaters now, it seems appropriate to revisit Albert Maysles, the man who (along with his brother) made the definitive Stones doc, Gimme Shelter. The pioneering director is putting out a new book, A Maysles Scrapbook, a collection of his film negatives, stills, production notes, and personal and business letters. Angelenos can preview it tonight as part of the city's first-ever Art Weekend—a new, four-day arts festival. For the occasion, Maysles will screen selections from his work (including docs about Orson Welles, Truman Capote, and Marlon Brando). And while Marty isn't expected to make an appearance, he did pen the book's intro.
A Maysles Scrapbook: Photographs/Cinemagraphs/Documents, tonight at 7 p.m., The Hammer Museum 10899 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, (310) 443-7000, laartweekend.com
