The Bug Jar will host two screenings of Rock vs. Cancer (Jacob Kindberg, U.S. 2018, 18 min.) at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Rock vs. Cancer is a short documentary that takes an in-depth look at Rochester's own, John Grabski III (of Teeth and Cheebahawk), during his final days as he made his way to Chicago to record with record producer Steve Albini. Through insurmountable odds, John left behind a hate letter to cancer and a love letter to life, assembled within the construct of a 30 minute rock and roll LP. Rock critic Everett True describes John's album "The Strain" as, in essence, "One of the finest of its genre in a decade." Cancer may have claimed John's body but it never claimed the character, dignity, or music behind the man. Join us as we relive John's last days and prove that when it's rock vs. cancer, Rock Wins!
