The Circus screening
2016-11-27 14:00 - 15:11 (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 The Circus (Charles Chaplin, U.S. 1928, 71 min., 35mm) as part of the Dryden Kids series.
By the time he released The Circus, Chaplin cut so imposing a figure that a special Academy Award was accorded to him to ensure he didn't sweep the first ceremony. The Circus is perhaps Chaplin's loveliest and most effortless feature. Its modest story involves the Tramp joining a circus, falling in love with bareback rider Merna Kennedy, and learning when to step aside, with lots of genuinely dangerous stunts and animal encounters along the way.

Queer Longings: Narratives of Desire film screenings
2016-11-29 18:00 - 19:34 | Hoyt Auditorium, University of Rochester Campus, Rochester, New York, United States
UofR's On Film will screen The Royal Road (Jenni Olson, 2015, 65 min., shot in 16mm, projected in DCP), and Hard as Opal (Dani Leventhal and Jared Buckhiester, 2015, 29 min., HD video) for their Queer Longings: Narratives of Desire program.
The series is concerned with the (im)possibilities of articulating queer desire. Elements of autobiography, historical narratives, and an exploration of space and time all contribute to a tension between fact and fantasy, poetically blurring the lines of documentary and fiction. Although very different, together the two films present a compelling program that reflects on nostalgia, intimacy, and loneliness. Professor Jennifer Creech and a few On Film members will be available for a discussion and a Q&A after the screening.

Based on a stage play written in 1910 by Daisy Andrews and John Colton, the story follows Cassie Cook (Priscilla Dean), an American heavily involved in the Chinese opium trade who is engaged in an uneasy alliance with her rival, Jules Repin (Wallace Beery). Never a lost film, but long unavailable, Drifting has been reconstructed by the Moving Image Department at the George Eastman Museum thanks to the cooperation of Manda (Hungarian National Digital Archive and Film Institute), Gosfilmofond of Russia, and the National Film Preservation Foundation.

2016-11-30 20:00 - 21:43 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Hana-bi (Fireworks, Takeshi Kitano, Japan 1997, 103 min., 35mm, Japanese w/subtitles) as part of the Takeshi Kitano series.
Takeshi Kitano's masterpiece is a stirring combination of the subtlety and emotional depth of classic Japanese cinema with the high-energy action and violence of Hollywood genre filmmaking. Kitano plays stoic cop Nishi, whose mettle is tested when his partner is crippled in a stakeout while Nishi is home tending to his terminally ill wife. Exploding like the titular fireworks, Nishi unleashes a violent retribution that is as viscerally shocking as it is gorgeously cinematic.

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."

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.
