Our current film series, “From Rochester, With Love” focuses on bringing films starring, directed by, or written by artists from Rochester. Whether they were born here, lived here, studied here, or worked here, there is an impressive list of filmmakers that Rochester can claim as their own, from the silent period to those still working today. In this discussion, Curator of Film Exhibitions will talk about some of these notable natives with longtime editor at the Democrat & Chronicle, Jim Memmott, whose series “Remarkable Rochesterians” was instrumental in research for the series. They will be joined by Nora Brown, Executive Director of the Finger Lakes Film Commission and Dr. Philip Carli, historian, musician, and resident accompanist for the Dryden Theatre’s silent film programs.
Reminder: George Eastman Museum members receive free admission to all Dryden Roundtable discussions.
