THE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT: THE COMPLETE WORKS OF ED OWENS at Maysles Documentary Center (Feb. 28, 7:30 p.m.). A protégé of the avant-garde filmmaker Gregory J. Markopoulos, Edward Owens made movies as a teenager in Chicago before relocating to New York. This lineup of four short works — the longest, “Tomorrow’s Promise,” runs around 45 minutes, while “Remembrance: A Portrait Study,” an abstract depiction of the filmmaker’s mother and two friends, runs six minutes — will be followed by a discussion. The talk will feature Melissa Lyde, whose film programs have emphasized the voices of artists of color, and Ed Halter, who helped rediscover Owens’s movies.
