Today, Thursday's Three offers a look at three short art-related films.

✭ A documentary about art in performance, The Secret Life of Foley (Third Man Films) follows Foley artists as they create movie sound effects. Directed by Daniel Jewel, the short features Pete Burgis and Sue Harding. Note: The Foley technique is named for Jack Foley, a Universal Studios sound editor. Foley artists are the professionals who match a film's actions to live sound effects.
