The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing A King in New York starting at 8 p.m. directed by Charlie Chaplin. From the Eastman House calendar, "unreleased in New York until 1972, King is an alternatively gentle and acid satire of American life, which Chaplin himself had only experienced by proxy since the 1952 revocation of his passport. Chaplin stars as King Shahdov, lately exiled from his Ruritanian backwater and beginning anew in New York, land of rock 'n' roll, TV, and Congressional red-baiting."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Talaye sorkh (Crimson Gold) starting at 8 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar, "once again working from a script by Abbas Kiarostami, Jafar Panahi constructs a thriller of sorts: The film opens with a man, a gun and a desperate act of violence. That we later learn this terrible moment is rooted in the deep inequalities of post-1979 Iran should come as no surprise: Panahi has long been a fearless critic of Iran's repressive political and religious regime."
