The Dryden will screen The Devil-Doll (Tod Browning, U.S. 1936, 78 min., 35mm).
While Dracula and Freaks are recognized as cult classics, Tod Browning directed other inventive horror films that deserve a second look. The Devil-Doll, a unique and frightening foray into the world of miniature men, features groundbreaking special effects and sets that still impress. In this study of the macabre, Paul Lavond (Lionel Barrymore) exacts revenge on the crooked associates who sent him to jail by shrinking humans down to doll size and having them carry out his evil deeds.

Baby Gramps musical performance
2015-08-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
Writer Patrick Ferris said he has "a mass appeal in the sense that any audience between the age of 2 and 102 are captivated by his vaudeville antics, hilarious lyrics and animated guitar playing… His voice is a cross between Popeye the Sailor and a Didgeridoo and the plinkity plink of his Very worn National steel guitar, sounds like a wind up jack in the box. If you listen closely and know anything about music, you'll realize Gramps is an absolutely incredible guitar player. Being a professional musician for over 40 years can't help but give you some sort of chops, but Gramps is a modern day Robert Johnson; a revolutionary guitarist that, like Thelonious Monk on piano, can play the notes "between the cracks."

Islands screening, Christo in Paris screening
2015-08-19 20:00 - 21:56 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Islands (Albert Maysles, David Maysles, and Charlotte Zwerin, Canada 1987, 58 min., 16mm), and Christo in Paris (Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Deborah Dickson, and Susan Froemke, U.S. 1990, 58 min., 16mm).
For a brief two weeks in May 1983, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's Surrounded Islands blossomed on the waters of Biscayne Bay, Florida. Eleven scrub pine islands were surrounded by 6.5 million square feet of bright pink fabric. A three-year struggle, a work of art, and a political drama interwoven with two other projects-in-progress—the wrapping of the Pont Neuf in Paris and the Reichstag in Berlin. Christo and Jeanne-Claude's first grand-scale urban project was wrapping the oldest bridge in Paris, the same bridge where Christo had courted Jeanne-Claude. A love story set in the heart of Paris: between a refugee artist and a French general's daughter, between a 400-year-old bridge and the people of Paris.

2015-08-20 20:00 - 22:00 | MuCCC (Multi-use Community Cultural Center), 142 Atlantic Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
In "Candida", Shaw presents a minister's wife compelled to choose between her staid husband, the Rev. James Morell, and a mysterious young suitor, Eugene Marchbanks. A scoundrel of a father-in-law, a fawning intern and a conflicted secretary add to the comedy and Shaw takes ample opportunity for social commentary, as always, challenging Victorian standards, especially those involving marriage.

El sol del membrillo (The Quince Tree Sun) screening
2015-08-20 20:00 - 22:13 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
El sol del membrillo (The Quince Tree Sun, VÃctor Erice, Spain 1992, 133 min., 35mm, Spanish w/ subtitles)
In the fall of 1990, the celebrated Spanish painter Antonio López GarcÃa decides to create a new work. Subject of his still-life: a sun-drenched quince tree in his backyard. López turns out to be a most meticulous artist. Before he starts painting, he carefully measures the tree and pinpoints special points of interest. His idea and desire is not only to paint the tree, but also to capture the fleeting moment of morning sunlight sliding along the juicy autumnal fruits. He patiently tries, fails, tries again, fails better—all while time passes and seasons of the year change. The Quince Tree Sun, existing in that special territory beyond the categories of fiction and documentary, is a sublime portrayal of nothing less than the ideas of art and inspiration themselves. It is also a portrayal of the inevitable passing of time and humans' yearning for beauty.

With a style as unique as its members are diverse, Mosaic Foundation is forward thinking reggae that stays true to the roots. Formed in 2009 and based in the Finger Lakes region of New York, the band has grown a loyal following, thanks to electric live performances and three studio releases. Blending roots, ska, dub, dance-hall and beyond, Mosaic is an exploration in reggae that is pushed to the limits and sometimes spills over. With lyrics that inspire dancing in the moment, and activate the mind in reflection, the songs encourage positivity, sustainable living and community.

Amour Fou screening

The Dryden will screen Amour Fou (Jessica Hausner, Austria/Luxembourg/Germany 2014, 96 min., DCP, German w/ subtitles).
Heinrich is a melancholy young poet in Romantic Era Berlin who determines his best way out of despair is to end it all. Recently diagnosed with a terminal illness, Henrietta, fascinated by Heinrich's controversial "The Marquise of O," finds his plan intriguing, and she agrees to navigate the uncharted journey towards a suicide pact with him. Amour Fou—inspired by the actual suicide in 1811 of Heinrich von Kleist and Henriette Vogel—goes against expectations to become a wry and curious denunciation of dying for love.
