Film in Rochester (New York)
As befits the home of Eastman Kodak, Rochester is a major destination for film buffs. It's no New York or Los Angeles, but no other mid-sized city can compare. The centerpiece of the film festival schedule is the 360|365 George Eastman House Film Festival (see Festivals, above), but there are also GLBT, Jewish, Polish, and short-film festivals.
Rochester is also home to several charming cinemas, where the atmosphere is almost as important as the films.
