Thursday night in Durham, Full Frame’s Winter Series is presenting a screening of David France’s 2012 documentary “How To Survive a Plague,” about the AIDS activism of two coalitions – ACT UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group) – at the Carolina Theatre in Fletcher Hall. The film, which is nominated for a Best Documentary Oscar, takes us through the ’80s rise of the AIDS epidemic and the grass roots movements that followed via a vast array of archival footage, much of which has never been seen before. It begins at 7:30 p.m., and is free. Details: 919-687-4100; www.fullframefest.org.
