Nine-year-old Masao and veteran gangster Kikujiro (Kitano), a friend of Masao's grandmother, travel across Japan to find Masao's mother, becoming fast friends and crashing into increasingly surreal adventures along the way. After a series of violent gangster thrillers, Kitano surprised his fans with this mixture of drama and slapstick, revealing a tender side to his stereotypical hard-boiled and stone-faced professional with a gun.

If you are interested in gaining skill as a documentary filmmaker, writer, or to tell the story of your community this class will provide you with the experience you need. Join us and filmmaker Arisleyda Dilone for a Master Class that will dive into the techniques and approaches that can bring out personal voice as well as mining the stories of others to create intimate content and bring stories to life.

At the age of seven she was brought to New York and raised in a suburb of Long Island. She is the first college graduate in her family.

Bilder der Welt und Inschrift des Krieges (Images of the World and the Inscription of War) screening
2016-12-08 20:00 - 21:15 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Bilder der Welt und Inschrift des Krieges (Images of the World and the Inscription of War, Harun Farocki, West Germany 1989, 75 min., digital file, German w/subtitles) as part of the (In)visibility series.
The late German filmmaker and theorist Harun Farocki observed in 1992: "Since its invention, film has seemed destined to make history visible." Images of the World and the Inscription of War seems to reply: what if we don't see what film makes visible, until it is already history? In this examination of technology and morality, Farocki probes the American military's failure (or was it refusal?) to recognize and act upon evidence of Auschwitz's existence, as revealed in 1944 reconnaissance images. From this inquiry stems an unsettling and free-associative cinematic essay on hidden identities, camouflage, decoys, and masks—unfolding, in Farocki's trademark style, through an assemblage of multiple visual media.

Jimkata musical performance
2016-12-08 21:00 - 23:00 | Flour City Station, 170 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
Childhood friends Evan Friedell, Aaron Gorsch and Packy Lunn come together as the four piece synth-pop powerhouse known as Jimkata. Smashing together arena sized rock energy and highly tattoo-able lyrics this band can be perfectly described as huge. Lead singer and lyricist Friedell has been likened to a modern day Peter Gabriel with his emphatic, energetic performances of his vulnerable, relatable and powerful lyrics. A tasteful blend of fiery guitars, analog synthesizers and pop catchiness, Jimkata's main charm is their ability to have you singing along by the second verse while kicking out a hard hitting rock show. To describe the sound, it's as if David Byrne was arm wrestling with TV on the Radio backstage at a Rush concert.

2016-12-09 19:00 - 20:56 | Cinema Theatre, 957 S. Clinton Ave., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
The Cinema will screen the wonderful film, A Man Called Ove (Hannes Holm, Sweden 2015, 116 min.) "Ove, an ill-tempered, isolated retiree who spends his days enforcing block association rules and visiting his wife's grave, has finally given up on life just as an unlikely friendship develops with his boisterous new neighbors."

Children of Men screening
2016-12-09 20:00 - 21:49 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Children of Men (Alfonso Cuarón, U.S./U.K. 2006, 109 min., 35mm) as part of the Primal Screen series.
With an almost prophetic look at the refugee crisis in Europe and the United Kingdom's retreat into Brexit-style isolationism, Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón (Y tu mama también, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) turned P. D. James's 1992 dystopian novel into his sixth and most politically charged film, a breathtaking hybrid of fantasy, action thriller, and allegorical tale. The story is set in a world without children, mired in religious violence, authoritarianism, and despair (as denounced by Michael Caine in a memorable scene). This is also a cinematic tour de force of the highest order, an ideal prologue to the weightless camera sequences in the award-winning Gravity (2013), Cuarón's latest film. Watch out for the long climactic sequence where birth and death collide in an endless single shot with a handheld camera, an inspired masterpiece of poetry and technology from the film's director of photography, Emmanuel Lubezki.

Nineteen-year-old Brooklyn native Tony Manero lives for Saturday nights at the local disco, where he's king of the club, thanks to his stylish moves on the dance floor. But outside of the club, things don't look so rosy. At home, Tony fights constantly with his father and has to compete with his family's starry-eyed view of his older brother, a priest. Nor can he find satisfaction at his dead-end job at a small paint store. However, things begin to change when he spies Stephanie Mangano in the disco and starts training with her for the club's dance competition. Stephanie dreams of the world beyond Brooklyn, and her plans to move to Manhattan just over the bridge soon change Tony's life forever.

Ida Lupino directs the story of two fisherman (Frank Lovejoy and Edmond O'Brien) taken hostage by the psychopathic, mass-murdering title character (William Talman). The almost unbearably suspenseful dark jewel of Lupino's directorial career, The Hitch-Hiker is also the only classical film noir ever directed by a woman.
