This morning starting around 8 a.m. in the cafeteria overlooking the arboretum in Bausch and Lomb (140 Stone St.) is The Artists' Breakfast Group meeting ... anyone interested in art or creativity is invited.
The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Marti, dupa craciun (Tuesday, After Christmas) starting at 8 p.m. (a little programming joke from Lori Donnelly). According to the Eastman House calendar, "married and the father of a young girl, Paul (Mimi Branescu) has been carrying on a long-term affair with his daughter's dentist. As the holidays approach and the cracks in his marriage start to show, he realizes that he has a painful decision to make. A masterful depiction of a marriage in crisis, Tuesday, After Christmas avoids judgment in favor of empathetic observation, capturing its trio of lived-in performances with graceful, uninterrupted long takes and a knowing sense of the human comedy."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Palm Beach Story starting at 8 p.m. Once again from the Eastman House calendar, "modern marriages should be frankly adult and nothing is franker than Claudette Colbert leaving behind gimcrack husband Joel McCrea for the promise of a shiny new Florida millionaire. The raucous Ale and Quail Club stands in her way, and the aloof squareness of new beau Rudy Vallee doesn't help either. [Preston Sturges'] fastest, most unhinged film, and for all that a moving lesson in romance."
