Welcome! You’ve discovered the new website dedicated exclusively to content related to the Dryden Theatre. This is your go-to site for repertory film screenings in Rochester. We show the absolute best in new, independent, foreign and classic cinema.

On this site, you’ll find the full, readable text for our esteemed film calendar. But you’ll also find enhanced content related to our programs: pictures, links and trailers, PLUS, content exclusive to the web. Like what? Here is a link to an excerpt from our dialogue with the filmmakers of Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation. The post-film Q&A for this sold-out screening was the funniest and most inspiring dialogue in recent memory. In this clip, Jayson Lamb talks about lighting things on fire, both on purpose, and accidentally.

If you aren’t receiving our calendar in the mail, or our newsletter by email, but would like to, do yourself a favor and send a note to this address: Dryden@geh.org.
