Based on James Hadley Chase's The Soft Centre, The Rise and Fall of a Small Film Company represents director Jean-Luc Godard's contribution to the 1986 French TV series Serie Noire. It centers on a frustrated filmmaker who struggles to cast and finance his thriller. A new digital restoration of the film screens tonight at 6:30 at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Cinematheque members and students. (Niesel)
