This week in Montgomery County brings opportunities to keep Oktoberfest going, march in a parade and catch a buzzy new film in a rare format.

‘One Battle After Another’ in 70mm

Through Oct. 2

The early critical acclaim for the Leonardo DiCaprio-led thriller has been effusive. One of the few places across the country to catch it in large, 70mm film format is at AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center in Silver Spring.

Showtimes start tonight at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $22.

An extended run

Through Nov. 2

You’ll have more time to catch the lengthy, Tony Award-winning play, “The Inheritance,” which chronicles a group of young, gay men amid the AIDS crisis. Bethesda’s Round House Theatre has added more performances throughout next month to catch the production, which is told over two parts. Those willing to spend their day around the theater can catch both parts on Oct. 25.

Ticket prices start at $50. “The Inheritance” is recommended for audiences 16 or older — check here for content warnings.

Black Violin

Sept. 25, 7:30 p.m.

The orchestral duo Black Violin blends pulsating, of-the-moment hip-hop with their background in classical music. They’ll perform at Strathmore; tickets start at $29.
