The Ken Cinema’s Monday night jazz film festival continues Dec. 14 with a double feature of George T. Nierenberg’s “No Maps on My Taps” and “In a Jazz Way: Portrait of Mura Dehn.”

“No Maps on My Taps” explores the tap artistry of black dancers such as Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, Sandman Simms, Bunny Briggs, Chuck Green and John Bubbles. “In a Jazz Way: Portrait of Mura Dehn” includes reminiscences by the classically trained Russian dancer who also studied under Isadora Duncan, with clips of the black social dance scene at Harlem’s Savoy Ballroom in the 1930s and ‘40s.

The festival will continue Dec. 21 with Bertrand Tavernier’s 1986 hit, “Round Midnight” and “Jazz on a Summer’s Day,” a documentary of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival featuring Thelonius Monk, Anita O’Day, Big Maybelle, Chuck Berry, Gerry Mulligan and Dinah Washington.

The series concludes Jan. 11 with “Louie Bluie,” a 1985portrait of the little-known but legendary Howard Armstrong. “Louie Bluie” is paired with “Stormy Weather,” the 1943 film with Lena Horne, Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, Dooley Wilson and Robinson.

Festival screenings begin at 5 p.m.
