Iris
From legendary documentarian Albert Maysles (Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter), Iris pairs the late 88-year-old filmmaker with Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an outsized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades. More than a fashion film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how a soaring free spirit continues to inspire. The 2014 doc screens as part of the McNay's GET REEL Film Series. Free, 7pm, Thur., McNay Art Museum, 6000 N New Braunfels, (210) 824-5368, mcnayart.org
