2015-10-04 13:30 - 15:03 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Night of The Hunter (Charles Laughton, U.S. 1955, 93 min., 35mm).
This gorgeously evocative amalgam of Grimm's Fairy Tales, German Expressionism, and Depression-era drama is a unique masterpiece in the history of cinema. At its core is Robert Mitchum's terrifying performance as Preacher Harry Powell, a serial killing wolf in sheep's clothing who relentlessly hounds two young children for the treasure they are hiding. Shelley Winters and Lillian Gish co-star in the only film ever directed by acclaimed actor Charles Laughton.

Where Should the Birds Fly screening
2015-10-04 14:00 - 14:58 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Where Should the Birds Fly (Fida Qishta, Occupied Palestinian Territory 2013, 58 min.) as part of the 2015 Witness Palestine Film Series.
We see life in Gaza through the eyes of two young women, Mona Samouni, and the filmmaker, Fida Qishta. Qishta returns to Gaza in 2006, following a 'nightmare' three-week wait at the Rafah border crossing. She reports on the daily reality for Gaza residents, which includes home demolitions, Israeli snipers shooting at farmers, and Israeli gunboats challenging fishermen. We learn of Israel's use of white phosphorus bombs and the injuries caused. Mona Samouni's story is particularly powerful. She's a 10-year-old from Zeiton, near Gaza City, where multiple members of her family were killed during Israel's Cast Lead operation, including her father and mother. Somouni's story is not for the faint of heart. There are significant images of wounded and dead adults and children. The title references a quote from Palestinian poet and author Mahmoud Darwish (1942-2008), "Where should we go after the last frontiers? Where should the birds fly after the last sky?"

While capturing the growing non-violent movement of young people in Palestine, this film brings a fresh perspective for understanding the realities of Palestinian life under occupation. Come travel with an African-American gospel choir and with MLK Scholar Clayborne Carson, the author of a play about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In collaboration with members of the Palestinian National Theatre, Carson and the choir adapt and then perform the play for Palestinian audiences in the West Bank. Choir members, drawn from devoutly Christian churches, are traveling to the Middle East for the first time and witnessing the realities of life under occupation. Hoping to be a voice for change, the author and the singers are themselves profoundly changed by the experience.

The Dryden will screen Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (F.W. Murnau, U.S. 1927, 97 min., 35mm).
Acclaimed German director F. W. Murnau's (Nosferatu, The Last Laugh) first Hollywood film elicited extraordinary praise from the critics. Lighting, camera angles and movement, acting style, judicious use of sound effects and music—all are smoothly integrated to tell the simple story of a man torn between his sweet country wife and a "vamp" from the city. The culmination of the silent cinema and a harbinger of things to come, Sunrise won three Oscars, including one for its Unique and Artistic Quality of Production.

2015-10-07 18:30 - 20:02 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Resistencia: The Fight for the Aguan Valley (Jesse Freeston, Canada / Honduras 2014, 92 min.)
June 28th, 2009. The Honduran people are preparing to vote in the first referendum in the country's history. But, instead of waking up to ballot boxes, they see soldiers carrying out the first coup d'état in Central America in three decades. This is the story of the two thousand farming families who challenged the coup project by taking over the plantations of the most powerful landowner in the country and converting them into worker-run cooperatives. Shot over four years, the film is both a testament to the capacity of an organized movement to transform the most fertile land in the country, as well as an account of the coup regime's violent attempts to get the land back.

The French Connection screening
2015-10-07 20:00 - 21:44 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The French Connection (William Friedkin, U.S. 1971, 104 min., 35mm).
Featuring what may be the most relentless and exciting car chase in cinema history, The French Connection is based on the true story of two New York cops, played by Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider, who try to break up the eponymous international heroin ring. Tautly directed by William Friedkin, the film was a box office hit and won Oscars for Best Picture, Actor, Director, and Screenplay. The French Connection, one of the quintessential portrayals of New York City in the seventies, takes a brutal yet ironic look at law enforcement and the illegal drug trade in which each is seen to be as violent and coldblooded as the other.

Scanners screening
2015-10-08 20:00 - 21:43 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Scanners (David Cronenberg, Canada 1981, 103 min., 35mm).
The result of a scientific experiment gone awry, "scanners" have the ability to read thoughts, control others through brain waves and cause heads to explode. The doctor (Patrick McGoohan) who created this mutant breed attempts to stop the evil scanner army led by the nefarious Darryl Revok (Michael Ironside). The makeup effects by Dick Smith and the final confrontation between Revok and the angelic scanner Cameron Vale (Stephen Lack) provide genre fans with more than enough reason to see this horror classic. But master filmmaker Cronenberg invests the material with an often haunting personal quality that provides some unusual emotional resonance for the more discerning viewer.
