OPENING NIGHT! Sunday, July 13 SIXTY SIX 7:00 PM, Dryden Theatre Paul Weiland, 2006, 93 min., UK, English This riotous British coming-of-age comedy features Helena Bonham Carter, Stephen Rea, and, as the young Londoner Bernie Rubens, newcomer Gregg Sulkin. Bernie just can't wait for his Bar Mitzvah. For once, he figures, he'll finally be the center of attention, and family and friends will have to put distractions aside. But it's the summer of '66, and World Cup fever is mounting. It looks like Bernie's special day will coincide with the final match. A wonderful mix of nostalgia, comedy and pathos, SIXTY SIX is an autobiographical story based on director Paul Weiland's childhood experiences growing up in post-war Britain. Film followed by the 7th annual Opening Night Party on the grounds of George Eastman House. Live music from the New York Klezmer Orchestra and Friendly's Ice Cream for all.
