“It’s not the years, it’s the mileage.” One of the most popular films ever screened at the Wexner Center is back and will be introduced by the film’s director and star. Everything you’ve heard about this urban legend of a film is true: In 1982, three boys (then 10-12 years old) from the Mississippi Gulf Coast decided to make a shot-for-shot remake of Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark. Over the course of the next seven years — while having to figure out how to recreate state-of-the-art special effects in their backyard — the boys also dealt with all the changes that come with going into and emerging out of puberty. Not only did they have to figure out how to drag a person under a moving truck, they had to kiss a girl for the first time. Showtimes are 7 p.m. Dec. 5 and 1 p.m. Dec. 6 as part of Zoom: Family Film Festival. Tickets are $6 general public and $4 members. Call 292-3535.

French director Claire Denis casts her insightful eye on a working-class man and his grown daughter in “35 Shots of Rum” (2008), a film that’s as much a tone poem as a story.

Separately and then together, father and daughter realize that both living and loving involve aspects of their common past. The showings are at 7 p.m. Oct. 29 and 30 in the Wexner Center’s Film/Video Theater. Visit wexarts.org or call 292-3535 for tickets.
