The Los Angeles-based Diavolo dance group performs at the Lied Center on Feb. 3.

Other screenings in the series include:

• “The Red Violin,” 7 p.m. Feb. 25, Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center, held in advance of Joshua Bell’s March 13 Lied performance; and

• “Finding Neverland,” 7 p.m. March 5, Ross Media Arts Center, held in advance of the March 23 Lied performance of “Peter and the Starcatcher.”

After each screening, free desserts and refreshments will be provided by the Lied Center.
