The Dryden will screen the 2019 Rochester International Film Festival Program #2 featuring:

• The Scorpion's Tale (Jhosimar Vasquez, USA, 22 min.): "Greed, revenge and death all collide in this taut crime drama which asserts that, in life, perhaps nothing is what it seems to be."
• Double Exposed (Julie Buck, USA, 4 min.): "A filmmaker reflects on Super 8 films from her childhood (shot by her grandfather) to shed light on what remained unseen."
• 40 Meter (Samuel Flückiger, Switzerland, 14 min.): "Kurt drove trains for 40 years and witnessed railroad death firsthand. This is an intimate portrait of a sturdy man navigating trauma."
• Him & Her (Nathalie Lamb, Germany, 8 min.): "What if a magical tree house could somehow illustrate our fantasies and desires? And give us reason to reflect on our personal foibles?"
• Written in Stone (Sangsun Choi, South Korea / USA, 18 min.): "This documentary sheds light on the lives of child workers in India who toil alongside family members in a stone quarry village."
• L'Homme et le Poisson (Lewis Leon, Canada, 4 min.): "Set against the backdrop of a vast frozen tundra, a grizzled fisherman gets his comeuppance—from an eerily familiar fish."
• Nevada (Javier Kühn, Spain, 15 min.): "Two women come face-to-face in a Las Vegas hotel room. While Elsa was hired for the job, Mrs. Taylor explains the family secret which brought them both here."
• Audition (Kim Seul-ki, South Korea, 21 min.): "Will she get the part? Or won't she get the part? Follow a young actor as she makes every effort to master her emotions."
