ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN ▼ LIBERTY CITY FLYING HIGH Throughout the summer, local record label and arts collective Other Electricities hosts Mov, a sci-fi film series, at the Bridge. On Thursday, it screens the 1972 classic Solaris. The Soviet film is based on Stanisław Lem’s 1961 novel of the same name and follows the crew on a space station orbiting a fictional planet named Solaris. Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, it won the Grand Prix at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Palme d’Or. In 2002, Steven Soderbergh made an adaptation of Solaris starring George Clooney and Natascha McElhone, but it didn’t surpass Tarkovsky’s adaptation in cult status. 7 p.m. Thursday, at the Bridge, 4220 NW 7th Ave., Miami; thebridgemiaminpo.org.
