Mary Healy Jamiel’s documentary Ticks/Hidden in the Leaves, warning of the dangers of Lyme disease in Rhode Island, will be screened at URI’s downtown Feinstein campus at 4 p.m. tomorrow.Italian Americans and Federal Hill, by Cranston director Jonathan Raben, was not completed in time for last year’s festival but had special showings at the Columbus Theater last September. It returns to the Columbus for a 6 p.m. showing tomorrow, this time in competition.

Go … No Go, a comedy by Leigh Medeiros whose title comes from a tool used by parts inspectors in factories, will be shown at 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Providence Public Library in a collection of short films. Also at that library screening will be The Strange Case of Marie France by South Kingstown filmmaker Vin Fraioli, which won the audience award in June at the Newport International Film Festival, and Paige Kane’s Home on the Harbor, about an unhappily married couple living in Newport.
