The Mask of Fu Manchu screening
2015-07-28 20:00 - 21:07 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Mask of Fu Manchu (Charles Brabin, U.S. 1932, 67 min., 35mm).
Boris Karloff, fresh from Frankenstein, The Mummy, and The Old Dark House, stars as the diabolical Chinese megalomaniac Dr. Fu Manchu, who tries to take over the world via archeology and torture. Myrna Loy gives a vibrant performance as Fu's young daughter, helping him in his quest to acquire the sword and mask of Genghis Khan. Using somewhat elaborate negotiation methods (hungry crocodiles, unnecessary surgery, dagger-laden sliding walls) our villain tries to persuade an archaeological team to "donate" the magical relics which will endow him with the power to rule.

Grey Gardens screening
2015-07-29 20:00 - 21:40 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Grey Gardens (Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Ellen Hovde, and Muffie Meyer, U.S. 1975, 100 min., 35mm).
In a filthy, rotting East Hampton mansion overrun with cats and raccoons, Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edie lead a reclusive and eccentric lifestyle—to put it mildly. The two Edies, cousins to Jacqueline Onassis, talk about their former lives in high society, offer bizarre fashion tips, and try to maintain the line between past and present. In this strange and often surreal piece of direct cinema, an unforgettable, sometimes disturbing, but ultimately affectionate relationship is explored.

Je rentre Ã la maison (I'm Going Home) screening
2015-07-30 20:00 - 21:30 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Je rentre Ã la maison (I'm Going Home, Manoel de Oliveira, France/Portugal 2001, 90 min., 35mm, French w/ subtitles).
"With I'm Going Home, the legendary Manoel de Oliveira, at the age of 93, created his masterpiece. The critics have already acclaimed it as one of the finest films of the decade. Warm, funny, humane and ultimately heartrending, the film is a remarkable and supremely eloquent statement by a magnificent director. Gilbert Valence (Michel Piccoli) is a successful theater actor appearing in Eugene Ionesco's Exit the King, when he learns that his wife, daughter and son-in-law have been killed in a car accident. Over time, Valence's life regains a semblance of normalcy—he takes care of his orphaned grandson, strolls the streets of Paris, frequents his favorite cafe and returns to the theater as Prospero in The Tempest. Michel Piccoli is majestic in the role of Valence—he is proud, self-assured, and amused by the world, while still vulnerable to life's tragedies." — Richard Brody

The Last Five Years theatrical performance (2015-Jul-31 @ 7:30 p.m.)
2015-07-31 19:30 - 21:30 | MuCCC (Multi-use Community Cultural Center), 142 Atlantic Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
Winner of the 2002 Drama Desk award for Outstanding Music and Lyrics, The Last Five Years was written by Tony Award-winner and former Eastman School of Music student, Jason Robert Brown. It follows New York City couple, Cathy and Jamie, who fall in and out of love over the course of their five-year relationship. The show's unconventional structure consists of Jamie's story — told chronologically — and Cathy's story — told backwards — which come together only once in the middle. This emotionally powerful and intimate stage musical, which was recently made into a feature film starring Pitch Perfect's Anna Kendrick and Smash's Jeremy Jordan, ingeniously chronicles the rise and fall of a modern marriage.

P'tit Quinquin (Li'l Quinquin) screening
2015-07-31 20:00 - 23:20 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen P'tit Quinquin (Li'l Quinquin, Bruno Dumont, France 2014, 200 min., DCP, French w/ subtitles).
Bruno Dumont's films are no stranger to George Eastman House, as the Dryden Theatre has previously hosted such austere ruminations on mortality and spirituality as Flanders (Grand Prix, Cannes Film Festival), Hadewijch, and Camille Claudel 1915. These films—plus works such as The Life of Jesus and Twentynine Palms—cemented Dumont's status as a true enfant terrible of French cinema, a radical talent whose uncompromising vision has attracted admirers and naysayers of equal ferocity. But now the 57-year-old writer-director has delivered what may prove his masterwork, a film which nearly all commentators have hailed with unalloyed praise. Dumont deftly executes a stunning left-field turn into darkly hilarious comedy with his made-for-TV epic—a surprise ratings hit in its native land—which borrows equally from David Lynch's Twin Peaks and Jacques Tati's Monsieur Hulot. When a bumbling police-detective (an astonishing physical performance by Bernard Pruvost) arrives in a small seaside town to investigate a bizarre murder, he rubs up against a band of urchins led by the irrepressible, eponymous Quinquin (Cagney-esque newcomer Alane Delhaye) the starting point for an audacious and unpredictable journey into the more bizarre corners of French society and the human psyche.

The Goonies screening
2015-07-31 22:00 - 23:54 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen The Goonies (Richard Donner, U.S. 1985, 114 min.) as part of the Mondo Movie Series.
Mikey Walsh and Brandon Walsh are brothers whose family is preparing to move because developers want to build a golf course in the place of their neighborhood — unless enough money is raised to stop the construction of the golf course, and that's quite doubtful. But when Mikey stumbles upon a treasure map of the famed "One-Eyed" Willy's hidden fortune, Mikey, Brandon, and their friends Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen, Clark "Mouth" Devereaux, Andrea "Andy" Carmichael, Stefanie "Stef" Steinbrenner, and Richard "Data" Wang, calling themselves The Goonies, set out on a quest to find the treasure in hopes of saving their neighborhood.

His Girl Friday screening
2015-08-01 20:00 - 21:32 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen His Girl Friday (Howard Hawks, U.S. 1940, 92 min., 35mm).
His Girl Friday is a gender-bending version of Hecht and Macarthur's comedy The Front Page. Rosalind Russell plays a breathless whiz of a reporter determined to give up her typewriter for a wedding ring, but her editor and ex-husband Cary Grant makes it hard for her to leave. The breathlessly delivered gags and dialogue are a signature of master comedy director Howard Hawks.
