The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Soy Cuba (I Am Cuba) starting at 7 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar: "three years in the making by the great Russian director Kalatozov (The Cranes Are Flying), I Am Cuba was designed to be Cuba's answer to Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin. In fact, it turned out to be much more: an epic poem to Communist kitsch — a whirling, feverish dance through the sensuous decadence of Batista's Havana and the grinding poverty and oppression of the Cuban people. Kalatozov's astonishingly acrobatic camera glides effortlessly through scenes of bathing beauties, landless peasants, and student revolutionaries. But all this cinematic bravura works to deepen the audience's understanding of the characters' emotions and situation."
