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.

2015-08-21 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.

Before long he realizes he cannot trust the CIA, falling into a cat-and-mouse game with the CIA director and learning that he's stumbled into something much bigger than he imagined. Shot on location in New York City and featuring a stellar cast, this fast-paced, unpredictable feature gave a much needed shot into the arm to the conspiracy-thriller genre.

2015-08-23 14:00 - 15:41 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Secret Garden (Agnieszka Holland, U.S. 1993, 101 min., 35mm, Rated G).

Mary Lennox, raised in India until her parents pass away, is shipped to England to live with her preoccupied Uncle Craven in his massive, neglected mansion. With one of the servant's brothers she finds a hidden door in the garden that leads to their own private hideout. With beautiful cinematography and an exceedingly talented cast, Holland delves into the story, bringing out the themes of isolation, renewal, and the need for risk in personal growth. A perfectly heartwarming film for the entire family.

O'Brien's assistant was Ray Harryhausen—this is the first feature to contain his marvelous style of stop-motion animation.

Umbrellas screening
2015-08-26 20:00 - 21:21 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Umbrellas (Albert Maysles, Henry Corra, and Grahame Weinbren, U.S. 1994, 81 min., 16mm).
This film takes a poignant, in-depth look at the concept and realization of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's project The Umbrellas, presenting the artists at their most triumphant and most vulnerable moments—from the exaltation of the project's opening day through unexpected tragedies at the end. The artists chose sites with contrasting cultures, among people who were unsophisticated about art: a rice-farming valley in the Japanese province of lbaraki, 72 miles north of Tokyo, and a cluster of cattle ranches in the rolling hills of Southern California, 60 miles north of Los Angeles. In October 1991, as planned, the 1,340 blue umbrellas unfurled in the dense green foliage and rain-dripped autumn light of the Japanese valley. On the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean, the 1,760 yellow umbrellas burst open on dry, golden-colored grass, glimmering in brilliant California sunlight.

When asked about the methods and the madness behind capturing the scorched earth soul of Under the Savage Sky, guitarist Peter Greenberg explained that the band was eager for something "harder and garagier" than their previous record, while still connecting with the energy and originality of the classics. Given that the previous release, Dig Thy Savage Soul (their 2013 Bloodshot debut and first U.S. release in a couple decades), was a 12-round sonic knockout, the R&B wallop ofunder the Savage Sky may very well stand for 'roundhouse and Beatdown.'
