Morte a Venezia (Death in Venice) screening
2016-08-07 19:00 - 21:10 (America/New_York) | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Morte a Venezia (Death in Venice, Luchino Visconti, Italy/France 1971, 130 min., 35mm, in English) as part of the Summer of Solidarity series.
Visconti's screen adaptation of Thomas Mann's novella is a triumph of visual style and a haunting story of contemplation. Dirk Bogarde plays an aging German composer (i.e., Gustav Mahler) convalescing after a breakdown. His ensuing obsession with a blond boy stirs within him feelings long believed lost, the splendor of Venice and the androgynous perfection of the boy penetrating the composer's reserve and leading to an epiphany of emotion and creativity. Visconti achieved the seemingly impossible by adapting Mann's intensely interiorized novella into one of the most beautifully visual and visceral sound-era motion pictures.

The Dryden will screen Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Steven Spielberg, U.S. 1977, 137 min., 35mm).
Spielberg wrote and directed this remarkable picture, a gathering of greats including celebrated French director FranÃ§ois Truffaut in his only English-speaking role, Vilmos Zsigmond behind the camera, and John Williams providing the score. Richard Dreyfuss takes the lead as an ordinary man meeting extraordinary happenings and extraterrestrial beings. Faced with inexplicable, supernatural occurrences, everyman and expert alike are left dumbfounded, struggling to grasp the significance of an alien motif, five repeating tones. Shot in Black Hills National Forest, Mohave Desert, and around Devil's Tower National Monument.

Endangered Features by Spencer Christiano theatrical performance (2016-Aug-7 @ 2 p.m.)
2016-08-07 14:00 - 16:00 | MuCCC (Multi-use Community Cultural Center), 142 Atlantic Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
What's your favorite movie? The one you've seen a hundred times, that you could quote from memory. What if you could never see that movie again? What if it were to completely disappear, and the world forgot it ever existed? Endangered Features is the coming-of-age story of an accidental archivist. This true story chronicles one projectionist's journey from falling in love with escapist cinema as a young boy, to growing up working in a charmingly scrappy neighborhood movie theater, to preserving cinema at one of the world's top film archives, and traveling to India to teach a new generation of preservationists the skills they can use to prevent their cultural history from fading into oblivion. This one-man play invites you to explore the secret world of the projection booth, and shows what lies behind the glass port. This intimate, intriguing, and enchanting play exposes film exhibition as a technical art, reveals the hidden evolution of cinema from its analog roots to cutting-edge digital, and commemorates what we have lost— and what is still at risk.

Don Juan screening
2016-08-06 20:00 - 21:52 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Don Juan (Alan Crosland, U.S. 1926, 112 min., 35mm).
John Barrymore was at his peak in 1926, both professionally—only a few years before, he had starred in a very successful stage production of Hamlet—and physically. At the time of Don Juan's release, he was considered the greatest actor in America. The Vitaphone sound system was given an excellent launch with this lavish film, costarring a 22-year-old Mary Astor as the only woman who can reform Don Juan from his philandering ways.

2016-08-05 20:00 - 21:32 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Other Side (Roberto Minervini, France/Italy 2015, 92 min., DCP).
In an invisible territory at the margins of society lives a wounded community facing the threat of being forgotten by political institutions and having their rights as citizens trampled. Disarmed veterans, taciturn adolescents, drug addicts trying to escape addiction through love, ex-special forces soldiers still at war with the world, floundering young women and future mothers, and old people who have not lost their desire to live—through this hidden pocket of humanity, the curious and fearless gaze of Roberto Minervini opens a window to the abyss of today's America. One of the most controversial films of 2015; viewer discretion is very strongly advised—strictly forbidden for minors.
