This one's so big they're literally going to shut down the street. Help launch the 27th Annual Olympia Film Festival in style Friday at the Opening Night Gala. Acrobats, artists, dancers, freaks, psychics and geeks are promised - along with the unmatchable Romanteek and a showing of Fritz Lang's ultra-classic Metropolis. It's going to rule. Trust us. And it kicks off nine days of Olympia Film Fest magic.

[Capitol Theater, 5 p.m., $10-$15, 206 E Fifth Ave., Olympia, 360.754.6670]
