The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Pont de varsòvia (Warsaw Bridge) starting at 8 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, it's "a series of bizarre images and surreal sequences that play out like a beautiful dream: an unusual concert in a shopping arcade; a verbal chess match; an opera performed at a fish market; credits that appear 30 minutes into the film; and much more. Ostensibly the story of a romantic triangle between a novelist, a conductor, and a marine-biology professor, Portabella's film is actually a love letter to the possibilities of cinema, filled with non sequiturs and nonsense."
