The George Eastman Museum will present five free film screenings in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, held every Wednesday from September 17 through October 15, 7:30 p.m., at the Dryden Theatre, 900 East Avenue, Rochester.
Covering nearly seventy years of cinema history, each film has been selected to highlight a specific film artist and aims to open audience’s eyes to the massive, yet ofttimes overlooked, contributions they have made to the film industry: Edward James Olmos, Dolores Del Río, Glauber Rocha, Rita Hayworth, and Alejandro Amenábar. With expert introductions and post-screening discussions, the Latin Film Series in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month invites audiences to immerse themselves and celebrate this remarkable cinematic heritage through film.
Films to be screened are:
•September 17 – American Me (1992)
•September 24 – In Caliente (1935)
•October 1 – Terra em Transe (1967)
•October 8 – Gilda (1946)
•October 15 – The Others (2001)
“Partnering with the Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman Museum allows the ¡Presente! Latin Film Series to showcase Latin American stories on one of the nation’s most respected screens, while highlighting the full scope of Latin involvement in the history of cinema,” said Jason Barber, Co-Founder, ¡Presente! Latin Film Series.
