An Evening with Fr. Gregory Boyle of Homeboy Industries
2016-12-01 19:30 - 21:00 | Bausch and Lomb Library Building, 110 South Ave., Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
In the Kate Gleason Auditorium of the Bausch and Lomb Library Building is An Evening with Fr. Gregory Boyle of Homeboy Industries.
Fr. Gregory Boyle, a Jesuit priest, founded Homeboy Industries in 1988 during the peak of L.A.'s gang wars. Working first as a parish priest, Fr. Boyle launched an effort to address the escalating problems and unmet needs of gang-involved youth. It developed into Homeboy Industries, one of the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry programs in the country. Sponsored by the Rochester-Monroe County Anti-Poverty Initiative, this talk is free and open to the public. Homeboy offers an "exit ramp" for those stuck in a cycle of violence and incarceration. Therapeutic and educational offerings (case management, counseling, and classes), practical services (e.g., tattoo removal, work readiness, and legal assistance), and job training-focused businesses (e.g., Homeboy Bakery, Homegirl Café, and Homeboy Silkscreen and Embroidery) provide healing alternatives to gang life, while creating safer and healthier communities. Elements of the Homeboy Industries model have been adopted in 46 communities — from Alabama and Idaho to Guatemala and Scotland. Homeboy Industries provides technical assistance for replication, but not in a franchise way. Communities determine their own needs and have ownership at a local level.

Mike Baggetta Trio musical performance
2016-12-01 20:00 - 22:00 | Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
Mike's singular and very personal musical style seeks to blur the lines between composition and improvisation, while connecting a wide range of musical genres that influence him. He has earned accolades from the press that call this approach "…beguilingly atmospheric…" (Time Out New York) and that "Baggetta's music [is] quietly transgressive… Even when he plays a lot of notes, his playing can sound almost static, as though ideas were being snagged out of thin air." (The Hartford Courant)

Der Himmel über Berlin (Wings of Desire) screening
2016-12-01 20:00 - 22:08 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Der Himmel über Berlin (Wings of Desire, Wim Wenders, West Germany/France 1987, 128 min., 35mm, German w/subtitles) as part of the (In)visibility series.
Guardian angels left to watch over West Berlin after the Second World War listen to the thoughts and dreams of its citizens from the city's rooftops. When Bruno Ganz's angel Damiel falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he relinquishes his immortality and falls to earth to be with her. Shot primarily in black and white just two years before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this film pays poetic tribute to a city divided. Wings of Desire, which earned Wim Wenders the award for Best Director at Cannes in 1987, explores the complex connection between looking, loving, and holding, and remains one of cinema's most affecting city symphonies.
