(SHORT FILMS) Jim Jarmusch isn't in town (he's busily accepting critical hosannas for his latest flick starring everyone's favorite finicky comedic princess Bill Murray), but his presence is at the Center of Contemporary Art this weekend in the form of an evening of nine short films that he curated. Buster Keaton's The High Sign may not be a surprise pick from such an avowed minimalist, but it's worth the price of admission on its own. (CoCA, 410 Dexter Ave N, Fri May 27 and Sat May 28, pm, $8.)
