The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing trafic starting at 8 p.m. The Eastman House calendar says it all: "in his final feature film appearance, [Jacques Tati's] bumbling Monsieur Hulot takes to Paris's highways and byways. Hulot, employed as an auto company's director of design, accompanies his new vehicle (a camper tricked out with absurd gadgetry) to an auto show in Amsterdam. Naturally, the road is paved with modern-age mishaps. This late-career delight is a masterful demonstration of the comic genius's expert timing and sidesplitting visual gags, and a bemused last look at technology run amok."

In case you missed it on Saturday, WXXI (280 State St.) will be screening Seneca Falls, a documentary about WOWER Power by Louise Vance tonight at 9 p.m. I got a chance to see it on Saturday and it's a nice documentary that impresses the notion that it is not exceptional people who change the world, but people taking action that is later realized to be exceptional — that it is taking action that is important, not "being" exceptional.
