Screening alert: ‘Sunshine’ — see this one

Karen Skloss’ profoundly affecting documentary on single motherhood screens at 9:15 tonight at the Austin Convention Center and again at 2 p.m. Friday at the Alamo Ritz, where it enjoyed its premiere last Saturday.

Skloss weaves something singular and powerful from several threads dealing with adoption, unexpected pregnancy, relationships and the impervious ties between parent and offspring. It’s Skloss’ own story, yet it’s completely universal. Even resistant guys will find themselves melting in this radiant “Sunshine.”

Skloss’ lyrical storytelling gets a nice assist from the expressive, sometimes dreamy camerawork by longtime RIchard Linklater collaborator Lee Daniel.
