2015-12-30 20:00 - 21:19 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Uprising (Peter Snowdon, Belgium/Uk 2013, 79 min., DCP).
Peter Snowdon's first feature-length film, The Uprising, weaves together mobile-phone footage shot by anonymous participants in the Arab Spring. Through careful editing, Snowdon sutures disparate places, events, and issues to create an image of unity while remaining faithful to the particularities of each cause. The Uprising offers viewers an intimate portrait of political upheaval different from the representation of the Arab Spring among Western media outlets. The film conveys a sense of possibility, as well as the risk assumed by protestors, in rethinking collective political action in the digital age.

But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it's up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

2016-01-01 14:00 - 15:26 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (Nathan Juran, U.S. 1953, 86 min., 16mm).
Set sail with the legendary Sinbad for this daring adventure to the mysterious Island of Colossa. To break the spell cast upon his beloved, bride-to-be princess, Sinbad and crew brave encounters with behemoth creatures while thwarting the evil attempts of Sakurah, the mysterious magician. Legendary special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen is the real magician here, breathing life into the people-eating Cyclops, the fire-breathing dragon, and sword-wielding skeleton. Employing his spectacular Dynamation process to combine stop-motion miniatures with live action and special visual effects, Harryhausen crafts a truly epic cinematic voyage. Like Max Steiner's triumphant, all-encompassing score for 1933's spectacular King Kong, composer Bernard Herrmann's sweeping score is integral to the success of Sinbad's fantastic journey, breathing life to sail and skeleton. Hail Sinbad!

My Fair Eliza theatrical performance (2016-Jan-1 @ 7 p.m.)
2016-01-01 19:00 - 21:00 | MuCCC (Multi-use Community Cultural Center), 142 Atlantic Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The classic story of Professor Henry Higgins and his attempt to turn "guttersnipe" Eliza Doolittle into a lady who could pass as "a duchess at an ambassador's garden party" was first performed in 1913 (as a German translation) in Vienna, followed by its New York premiere in March of 1914 (again in German) and finally in English in London in April, 1914. […] "My Fair Eliza" (taking its name from both the musical and Shaw's working title, "Fair Eliza") returns to Shaw's original version, editing the work for time and clarity. It serves as a perfect introduction to one of the great works of the theater for the uninitiated and (at around an hour runtime) a breezy refresher for fans of "Pygmalion" and "My Fair Lady" alike.
