SAVE THE DATE

FILM "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror" There's only one night to catch the return of this Halloween staple at the AFI Silver Theatre. On Oct. 26, the movie house screens the 1922 F.W. Murnau silent version of the Bram Stoker novel "Dracula" (starring Max Schreck), with live musical accompaniment by Baltimore ensemble the Silent Orchestra. This is always a sellout, so get tickets early. $20; AFI members, $15; younger than 12, $5. 7 and 9:30 p.m. AFI Silver Theatre, 8633 Colesville Rd., Silver Spring. 301-495-6720, or for tickets, visit http://www.afi.com/silver.

CONCERT Have You Been to Synagogue Lately? Without a bar, the 100-year-old, nearly 800-seat Sixth & I Historic Synagogue isn't about to put the 9:30 out of business. But the synagogue, which this weekend hosts its second-ever concert as a D.C. music venue, has its charms: stained glass, interesting architecture, shows that start on time, pews arranged so you can sit and actually see the band. We let go of our fears about stuffiness when we watched Devendra Banhart play a serious rock show to a house of dancing groupies, and organizers didn't so much as bat an eyelash. The last in the initial set of three concerts features the Icelandic atmo-rockers Mum, which plays Nov. 7. $18. Doors at 7 p.m. Show at 8. To avoid those processing fees, buy tickets directly from the synagogue box office, 202-408-3100. (Tickets also available through Ticketmaster, 202-397-7328.) 600 I St. NW.

FOR FAMILIES The Theodore Roosevelt Birthday Celebration Next weekend, the National Park Service throws the 26th president a bash in honor of his Oct. 27 birthday, giving us all a reason to head to that little spot that everyone raves about but you've never visited: Theodore Roosevelt Island. The Park Service hosts activities for kids, including birdhouse-building, exhibits and more. Free. Oct. 20, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. George Washington Parkway just north of the Roosevelt Bridge. 703-289-2500 or 703-289-2556.

MARYLAND

Today

FILM The D.C. Labor FilmFest: "Outsourced" The 2007 edition of this working person's film festival pays homage to the movies of Ken Loach, but there are other offerings, including a slew of documentaries, and even "Office Space" to get you thinking about work (as if it didn't already occupy most of the crevices of your brain). And tonight there's "Outsourced" -- of all things, a romantic comedy about a Seattle call-center employee whose whole career shoves off to India, and he becomes the man to train his replacements in Mumbai. Reviews uniformly applaud the film for avoiding stereotypes and for its genuine look at two cultures forced to play nice in the global workplace. $6.75-$9.75. AFI Silver Theatre, 8633 Colesville Rd., Silver Spring. 7 p.m. 301-495-6720.

Sunday

CONCERT Hip-Hop at Strathmore? Only if It's Queen Latifah The rapper sure has come a long way from "Ladies First" to become an Oscar-nominated actress and Cover Girl spokesmodel.

Only upper-tier tickets remain. 8 p.m. Sunday. $25. Music Center at Strathmore, 5301 Tuckerman Lane, North Bethesda. 301-581-5100.

Monday

CONCERT Del tha Funkee Homosapien The sleepy-flow, stream-of-consciousness rhymer is the biggest rap legend whose name you don't know. That's because, you know, an animated b-boy ghost portrayed him in the video for that Gorillaz hit single "Clint Eastwood." Del, whose main gig is with the band Hieroglyphics, is at Sonar on Monday. $15. 9 p.m. Sonar, 407 E. Saratoga St., Baltimore. 202-397-7328.

NORTHERN VIRGINIA

Today

EXHIBIT "Bodies," Still Gross and Still Here, but Not for Much Longer This show, which features more than 20 human corpses (the fact that they're from China has been a sore point), opened at the Dome at Rosslyn four months ago; pretty soon, it'll be time for it to go. Preserved in a liquid silicone rubber, the bodies, and all the ancillary parts, are intended to show what really goes on inside you. What does cancer look like? What does a smoker's lung look like? It's all here. Till Oct. 28, anyway. $26.50; seniors, $21; ages 4-12, $18. Sunday-Wednesday 10 a.m.-7 p.m., Thursday-Saturday 10 a.m.-10 p.m. The Dome at Rosslyn, 1101 Wilson Blvd. 800-263-4379.
