Washington, DC, October 28, 2026 —
Washington City Paper’s weekly picks feature a varied selection of cultural events in Washington, D.C., spanning film, live music and an exhibition about salsa. The listings include a screening of Douen at AFI Silver, a Flipper concert at The Fridge, a showing of Ken Russell’s The Devils at Alamo Drafthouse, and the exhibition ¡Puro Ritmo! The Musical Journey of Salsa at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.
The film selections present two different offerings. Douen is described as a Caribbean folklore horror film, while The Devils is identified as a controversial film directed by Ken Russell. The weekly picks place both screenings among the featured events, but the information provided does not include further details about either film or the screenings.
Music is represented by Flipper, whose appearance at The Fridge is described as a punk rock concert. The feature also includes the Smithsonian exhibition, whose title identifies salsa as its subject and frames it as a musical journey. No additional information about the exhibition’s contents is provided.
Together, the selections cover several kinds of cultural programming rather than focusing on one discipline: two film screenings, a concert and a museum exhibition. The listings name the events and their venues, but do not provide dates, start times, ticket information, admission costs or other scheduling details. Those details were not included in the available summary.
The weekly feature’s selections therefore offer a brief overview of events across the city, with film, punk music and salsa represented. Further particulars about each event, including the screening schedules and exhibition details, were not provided.
