At Real Art Ways in Hartford, you can see both Salt of Life and Forgiveness of Blood tonight through Wednesday. In Salt of Life, Try as he might to get noticed by women, Gianni never seems to get a second glance. Dejected Gianni looks on longingly as his aging pals court gorgeous young women, and starts to question why passion has disappeared from his life. The Forgiveness of Blood focuses on an Albanian teen who's life is suddenly up-ended when his father and uncle become entangled in a land dispute that starts a blood feud. There are no films at Real Art Ways Thursday and Friday, in anticipation of the Theater's 2012 Odd Ball gala. For more information and ticket, check out realartways.org
