4 Films on Screen As part of our Recent Acquisitions series, this set of Indian films toured Europe and the United States before being donated to the George Eastman Museum.

From director George Melford, actor Norman Kerry, and actress Louise Brooks in the silent period, to musician Cab Calloway, writers Garson and Michael Kanin in Hollywood’s golden years, to more recent actors such as John Lithgow and Taye Diggs, Rochester has produced an impressive list of artists who have contributed to the art of cinema. This year, the Dryden Theatre will bring films featuring many of these artists to the big screen, opening up chapters of this city you may never have known.
