NOAH BAUMBACH IN RESIDENCE at the Metrograph (Nov. 8-Dec. 22). This Lower East Side theater will screen Baumbach’s complicated tragicomedies (“The Squid and the Whale,” on Saturday, and “Margot at the Wedding,” on Sunday) alongside features that he calls “companion films” — movies like the neglected 1970s drama “Chilly Scenes of Winter” (on Friday), directed by Joan Micklin Silver (see “A Fish in the Bathtub,” below). Separately, Baumbach will appear on Friday at the Museum of Modern Art with his new film, “Marriage Story,” for the first weekend of the Contenders 2019, a series dedicated to films that will likely endure — from awards favorites to overlooked gems.

DOC NYC at Cinéopolis Chelsea, IFC Center and SVA Theater (through Nov. 15). Now in its 10th year, this annual nonfiction smorgasbord is billed as the largest nonfiction film festival in the United States, with 136 features over 10 days (to say nothing of shorts and other events). Marquee spots have gone to Eva Orner’s “Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator,” which is the centerpiece screening (on Friday at SVA), about the founder of Bikram yoga, who has been accused of multiple instances of rape and sexual harassment; and Ebs Burnough’s “The Capote Tapes” (closing the festival on Thursday at SVA), which draws on unearthed tapes of interviews with friends of Truman Capote. The festival is dedicated to D. A. Pennebaker, who died in August. Showing on Wednesday at Cinéopolis, Pennebaker’s “Town Bloody Hall” — made with Chris Hegedus, his partner in work and life — captured a contentious 1971 panel discussion that pitted Norman Mailer against Germaine Greer, Jill Johnston and other feminists.
