Do you cringe when you notice that a movie has a 3-plus-hour running time?

Then you should thrill at the Hygienic Screening Room, where films are limited to five minutes each.

This annual independent film festival, held Friday at Hygienic Art, highlights work by emerging and established filmmakers. The no-rules rules of the main exhibition apply here: no judge, no jury, no entry fee, and no censorship.

Hygienic Screening Room, 7-10 p.m. Friday, Hygienic Art, 79 Bank St., New London; free, donations accepted.
