The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Winterschläffer (Winter Sleepers) starting at 8 p.m. Here's the Eastman House calendar's description: "In scenic Berchtesgaden, two couples who share a villa find their lives intertwined with each other and with a local farmer whose daughter has been injured in a car accident. Released in the U.S. after director Tykwer's Run Lola Run, but made before, this ambitious melodrama is just as visually striking and dramatically compelling. It's also metaphysically mysterious and very erotic." Plus Eastman House members are admitted free.
