‘Arabia 3D’ The first major production filmed entirely in Saudi Arabia explores the extraordinary 2,000-year history of Arabia through the eyes of three contemporary citizens.

‘Dumbstruck’ Talking heads are common in documentaries, but they’re usually not made of cloth, wood and latex — as they occasionally are in this new film following five ventriloquists and their puppets as they pursue professional success and personal happiness. Director Mark Goffman, producer Lindsay Goffman and film subject Dan Horn will participate in Q&A sessions after these select screenings. The film also will run next week. Regent Theatre, 1045 Broxton Ave., L.A. 7:15 p.m. Fri. and Sat., 5:15 p.m. Sat. and Sun. $10.50. (310) 208-3250. https://www.dumbstruckthemovie.com.
