Boston Calling will include sights and sounds this year. Organizers of the three-day music festival, which takes place Memorial Day Weekend, have announced the details of the inaugural Boston Calling Film Festival, a series of screenings at the Brattle Theatre curated by actress (and Harvard alum) Natalie Portman (inset).

The film festival, dubbed “The Female Gaze,’’ will take place between May 22-24 and feature films that explore similar themes told from the perspective of male and female directors.

“I don’t think there is anything inherently different between male and female artists, but these are examples of great works of art in which similar story lines have female tropes that play out quite differently depending on who is telling the story,’’ Portman, an Oscar winner for her performance in “Black Swan,’’ said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to sharing these with an audience and hearing their reactions.’’

Among the movies to be shown are Stanley Kubrick’s “Lolita,’’ director Lucretia Martel’s “The Holy Girl,’’ Marielle Heller’s “The Diary of a Teenage Girl,’’ Chantal Akerman’s “Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles’’ the French drama “Belle de Jour’’ starring Catherine Deneuve, “I Am Not a Witch,’’ and the extended director’s cut of William Friedkin’s “The Exorcist.’’

Portman will also be curating and hosting a series of programs at the music festival itself, though the details have not been released. Now in its ninth year, Boston Calling is being held again this year at the Harvard Athletic Complex in Allston.

Musical acts include The Killers, The National, Paramore, Portugal. The Man, Pussy Riot, Jack White, Queens of the Stone Age, Tyler, The Creator, St. Vincent, Royal Blood, Manchester Orchestra, Belly, Eminem, Khalid, Bryson Tiller, Fleet Foxes, and The Decemberists, among others.
