ART: The Board of Directors presents a solo show of Matt James’s newest collection of work, “Yonder Cowboy Smoking.” James was one of the artists involved in Harbourfront’s "Blue Blood" art exhibit (a suburban rec room and hockey-themed collection curated by Dave Bidini) earlier this year, but his work can also be found on album covers, book jackets, and in magazines. His whimsical character-driven paintings never fail to inspire a smile. Board of Directors (1080 Queen Street West), 6–9 p.m., FREE.

FILM: Already a favourite of Torontoist, Nollywood Babylon is kicking off a three-night stint tonight at the NFB Mediatheque. This NFB-produced documentary explores one of the largest film industries in the world, based in one of the poorest nations in the world: Nigeria. The B-movie aesthetics and the clash of "traditional mysticism and modern culture" makes for a fascinating look at this largely unexplored area of Nigerian life. NFB Mediatheque (150 John Street), 7 p.m., $6 ($4 for students, seniors, NFB and DOC members).
