The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Logan's Run starting at 8 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar: "in an enclosed and domed city of the future, a population of young hedonistic swingers are solely devoted to their own personal pleasure. The catch: on every citizen's 30th birthday, they're executed in a ritualistic ceremony."

A deceptively simple film about innocence, Truffaut's work is filled with unforgettable moments and faces."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Flooding With Love for the Kid starting at 8 p.m. with filmmaker Zachary Oberzan. Turning once again to the calendar, "a landmark in the history of do-it-yourself filmmaking, Flooding with Love for the Kid is a meticulous, faithful adaptation of David Morrell's 1972 novel First Blood, which introduced the character of Rambo, a Vietnam vet and one-man army made iconic through a series of big-budget action epics starring Sylvester Stallone. Zachary Oberzan, a one-man filmmaking army, adapted, directed, designed, and edited his own version on a budget of $96 with his 220-square-foot Manhattan studio apartment as his only location. Oberzan also plays all 24 characters in the story, including Rambo, Colonel Trautman, and Rambo's nemesis, Sherriff Will Teasle."
