The International Exhibition of Modern Art in New York City – known as the Armory Show because it was held in a National Guard armory – is the subject for New England filmmaker Michael Maglaras’s lastest film called “The Great Confusion,” which makes its Maine premiere at a screening tonight in Portland.
