The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Doc, a film about Doc Humes starting at 8 p.m. Filmmaker Immy Humes will be on hand to introduce this film about her father Harold Louis "Doc" Humes. The Eastman House calendar says, "H.L. 'Doc' Humes wrote two highly acclaimed but little-read novels, and was one of the primary founders of The Paris Review. While he was a significant literary figure, Doc's tumultuous life also found him to be, at times, a filmmaker, activist, and college campus guru whose stunts included giving away money to students. To some, he was charmingly verbose; to others he was irresponsible and increasingly paranoid."
