The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Chronicle of a Disappearance starting at 8 p.m. The Eastman House calendar covers things nicely: "part fiction and part documentary, independent Palestinian filmmaker Suleiman returned to the Middle East after many years in New York to make his first feature. Armed with irony, absurdist humor, and a handsome visual style, Suleiman offers a surprisingly comprehensive portrait of middle-class Palestine and a complex understanding of Arab identity within that world."
