The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Last Train Home starting at 8 p.m. Here's what the Eastman House Calendar has to say: "the annual mass migration of millions of Chinese factory workers, who return to their provincial villages from large cities at Chinese New Year, provides the stirring backdrop for this documentary look at one couple's dramatic journey to be reunited with their children. Because their jobs require being separated, the Zhangs have only seen their son and daughter once a year since they were born. Now a teenager largely being raised by her grandmother, the elder Qin is hoping to leave school and find a factory job herself, despite the protests of her parents, who believe that education is the only way out of this tragic cycle. With a visually poetic style and an observant eye, director Lixin Fan builds to a series of heartbreaking scenes that place a very human perspective on this epic-sized movement of people."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Der Dibuk (The Dybbuk) starting at 7 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar, "in a Polish shtetl, two young men vow to marry their yet unborn children together. When the promise is broken years later, it unleashes a curse that leads to a young maiden becoming possessed by an evil spirit. A rare example of Yiddish cinema, this rich and atmospheric tale serves as a ghost story on more than one level: most of its talented cast of Yiddish Theater veterans died in Nazi death camps in the years immediately following the film's release."
