SEEKING THE CAFE BOB (U.S.A., 9:30 p.m.) Young filmmakers, especially the males, often make movies about their own sexual anxiety and about what all their old college friends have to say about sex. This is one of those; it's set in Austin. Screening at the University of St. Thomas. (Edith Sorenson)

COMRADE PANJUNI (Armenia, 5 p.m.) In 1909, a communist official arrives in the mountains of Armenia and, for his own benefit, tries to convert the locals to his new political philosophy. In this satire, they're not interested, which leads to trouble. (Not Reviewed)

TWO FLAGS (South Korea, 7 p.m.) See "Signals," page 37.
ONCE UPON A TIME WHEN WE WERE COLORED (U.S.A., 9:30 p.m.) The capstone to this year's WorldFest is actor-turned-director Tim Reid's adaptation of Clifton L. Taulbert's acclaimed book about growing up black in the segregated, post-World War II South. Reid has been all over television in recent months touting his movie, and bemoaning the fact that a simple drama about salt-of-the-earth black Americans living their lives doesn't get the attention (or the distribution deals) of a shoot-'em-up in the hood. He has a point, and if we're lucky, he may give us another Sounder or The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. (Not Reviewed)
