2017-08-07 13:30 - 15:05 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Anna Karenina (Clarence Brown, U.S. 1935, 95 min., 35mm) as part of the National Endowment for the Arts series.
Tolstoy's enigmatic heroine has come to the screen in various incarnations, but none has ever exposed the inner life of Anna Karenina with so much pathos, hope, and regret as Greta Garbo. Stripped of the trappings of 19th-century Russia, her Anna is every woman who has ever been swept away by the passion of pure physical attraction. Anna is loved by her husband, her son, and her friends; she has status, wealth, and security. She rashly trades all of that for a dead-end love affair with Fredric March's dashing Count Vronsky. The dreary and pathetically shabby rooms they share perfectly illustrate the hopelessness and futility of her choice. Cut adrift, her spirit withers in that environment as she realizes that her undying passion is neither sustainable nor reciprocated.

Tabitha Soren—Fantasy Life: Baseball and the American Dream lecture
2017-08-09 18:00 - 19:00 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
In 2002, Tabitha Soren first began photographing a group of minor league draft picks for the Oakland A's—young men coming into the major league farm system straight from high school or college. Since then, she has followed the players through their baseball lives, an alternate reality of long bus rides, on-field injuries, friendships and marriages entered and exited, constant motion, and very hard work, often for very little return. Some of the subjects, like Nick Swisher and Joe Blanton, have gone on to become well-known, respected players at the highest level of the game. Some left baseball to pursue other lines of work, such as selling insurance and coal mining. Others have struggled with poverty and even homelessness. Fifteen years after that first shoot, Soren's series and book Fantasy Life provides a selection of these stories, gathering together a richly textured series of photographs taken on the field and behind the scenes at games, along with commentaries by each of the players and memorabilia from their lives.

From acclaimed director Nick Broomfield comes a new film about one of the greatest singers of all time. Whitney Houston was the epitome of superstar, an "American Princess," the most awarded female artist ever. Even though Whitney had made millions of dollars, had more consecutive number ones than The Beatles, and became recognized as having one of the greatest voice of all time, she still wasn't free to be herself and died at just 48 years old. Made with largely never-seen before footage and exclusive live recordings, Whitney 'Can I Be Me' tells Whitney Houston's incredible and poignant life story with insights from those closest to her.

Eraserhead screening (2017-Aug-10 @ 7:30 p.m.)
2017-08-10 19:30 - 21:00 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Eraserhead (David Lynch, U.S. 1977, 90 min., 35mm) as part of the 40th Anniversary series.
David Lynch's feature film debut was greeted with massive acclaim on the midnight movie circuit and stands as one of the most haunting and renowned cult classics of American cinema, introducing audiences to the director's unique unsettling aesthetic. Set in an eerily dark, fetid industrial landscape, the film follows a young couple (Jack Nance and Charlotte Stewart) as they struggle with married life and the arrival of an unexpected and hideously deformed child. Nightmarish hallucinations, adultery, and violence follow as the family dissolves in their squalid existence. Meticulously constructed sound design and visceral black-and-white cinematography create a grotesque and surreal cinematic experience, foreshadowing Lynch's later mainstream successes which plumb the vile and insidious depths of the American family. The Eastman Museum is one of the very few archives to hold a 35mm print of this iconic film.

2017-08-11 19:30 - 21:03 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen David Lynch: The Art Life (Jon Nguyen, U.S. 2016, 93 min., DCP).
David Lynch: The Art Life looks at Lynch's art, music, and early films, shining a light into the dark corners of his unique world and giving audiences a better understanding of the man and the artist. As Lynch says, "I think every time you do something, like a painting or whatever, you go with ideas, and sometimes the past can conjure those ideas and color them. Even if they're new ideas, the past colors them." We're invited in and given private views from Lynch's compound and painting studio in the hills high above Hollywood, as he tells personal stories that unfold like scenes from his films. Strange characters come into focus only to fade again into the past, all leaving an indelible mark.
