Acclaimed German director F. W. Murnau's (Nosferatu, The Last Laugh) first Hollywood film elicited extraordinary praise from the critics. Lighting, camera angles and movement, acting style, judicious use of sound effects and music—all are smoothly integrated to tell the simple story of a man torn between his sweet country wife and a "vamp" from the city. The culmination of the silent cinema and a harbinger of things to come, Sunrise won three Oscars, including one for its Unique and Artistic Quality of Production.

June 28th, 2009. The Honduran people are preparing to vote in the first referendum in the country's history. But, instead of waking up to ballot boxes, they see soldiers carrying out the first coup d'état in Central America in three decades. This is the story of the two thousand farming families who challenged the coup project by taking over the plantations of the most powerful landowner in the country and converting them into worker-run cooperatives. Shot over four years, the film is both a testament to the capacity of an organized movement to transform the most fertile land in the country, as well as an account of the coup regime's violent attempts to get the land back.

The Dryden will screen The French Connection (William Friedkin, U.S. 1971, 104 min., 35mm).
Featuring what may be the most relentless and exciting car chase in cinema history, The French Connection is based on the true story of two New York cops, played by Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider, who try to break up the eponymous international heroin ring. Tautly directed by William Friedkin, the film was a box office hit and won Oscars for Best Picture, Actor, Director, and Screenplay. The French Connection, one of the quintessential portrayals of New York City in the seventies, takes a brutal yet ironic look at law enforcement and the illegal drug trade in which each is seen to be as violent and coldblooded as the other.

Scanners screening
2015-10-08 20:00 - 21:43 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Scanners (David Cronenberg, Canada 1981, 103 min., 35mm).
The result of a scientific experiment gone awry, "scanners" have the ability to read thoughts, control others through brain waves and cause heads to explode. The doctor (Patrick McGoohan) who created this mutant breed attempts to stop the evil scanner army led by the nefarious Darryl Revok (Michael Ironside). The makeup effects by Dick Smith and the final confrontation between Revok and the angelic scanner Cameron Vale (Stephen Lack) provide genre fans with more than enough reason to see this horror classic. But master filmmaker Cronenberg invests the material with an often haunting personal quality that provides some unusual emotional resonance for the more discerning viewer.

The gorgeous beaches of the Caribbean serve as the backdrop to Liz in September, a touching film based on the classic play Last Summer at Bluefish Cove by Jane Chambers. Director Fina Torres updates the original 1980 work, giving it a more streamlined, modern feel for today's audiences. Out lesbian actress/supermodel Patricia Velasquez (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, The L Word) stars as Liz, a hard-partying, love-'em-and-leave-'em lesbian who celebrates her birthday each year with her friends in the Caribbean. But this year is different. Liz is terminally ill, a fact she hides from all but one of her friends. This will most likely be her last retreat with them and she wants to make the most of it.
