The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Buena Vista Social Club starting late at 8:30 p.m. due to Garden Vibes. From the Eastman House calendar, "American musicology maestro Ry Cooder re-assembles the stunning Cuban musicians with the funky Afro-Cuban jazz fusion sound. Wenders's film follows the aging troubadours — living artifacts from a pre-Castro Cuba — from Havana's gorgeously decaying nightclubs to gigs in Amsterdam and New York, the music always punctuated with touching personal reminiscences."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Heavy Metal Picnic and Heavy Metal Parking Lot starting at 8 p.m. with filmmaker Jeff Krulik on hand to discuss this unique pair of documentaries. Quoting the Eastman House calendar once again, "Potomac, MD, 1985. An out-of-control rock party called The Full Moon Jamboree is taking place in a field surrounded by wealthy, irate suburbanites. One concertgoer prowls the grounds with a VHS camera and a microphone stolen from the Reagan inauguration, interviewing participants before his battery (and sobriety) failed. More than 20 years later, director Jeff Krulik has returned to the scene of the crime, mixing the original footage, new interviews with the participants, and contemporary TV reports to create a hilarious, surprising documentary."
