Family Films: ‘Through Thick and Thin: Forging Friendships’

Sometimes you can find a buddy in the most unexpected places. This program of short films at the Museum of Modern Art celebrates some unusual comrades, including a toy cat and a toy dog (in “Macropolis,” from Britain) and the title characters in “Rabbit and Deer” (from Hungary). But perhaps the most intriguing match-up occurs on the New York subway in the American film “Low Down Underground,” which features a blues musician, a punk artist, a 9-year-old and an elderly woman, in a tale told by contemporary rappers.
