2017-01-29 18:00 - 20:00 | Flying Squirrel Community Space, 285 Clarissa St., Rochester, New York, 14608, United States
The last four years have seen an upswing in confrontations between working class and oppressed people in North America, and the state and far-right organizations. From the uprisings from Ferguson to Baltimore, to the blockade of the DAPL and the movement against pipelines, to the fight against the rise of the alt-right and incoming president Donald Trump, people across the country are mobilizing to defend ourselves and sustain our survival against austerity, mass incarceration, and violent racism. Join us for an evening of discussion with organizers from GDC Local 14 on the Community Self Defense model, a flexible framework of autonomous working-class organizing drawn from experience in labor struggle, the fight against police brutality, and antifascist action. The discussion will include an explanation of Community Self Defense as a concept and its relationship to anti-fascism, community survival projects, and class struggle unionism. Speakers will share the recent history and experiences of General Defense Committee Local 14 in developing the model in the Twin Cities and working with other cities and smaller towns in the Midwest develop their own networks. We will invite participants to share and reflect on their own experiences and goals, so we can trade notes, learn, and continue to develop a nationwide network of strong, interlinked campaigns.

Instead of taking the traditional approach, of having a comedy show and selling copies of the special, they chose a more exciting angle. This show will be a red carpet themed premiere, being shown in a movie theater (something new to Rochester NY). This show will have all of the lights, cameras and action of a hollywood production. There will be photographers, and videographers at the event capturing every moment.

Guided by the visions of a young boy, a group of men escaping the Black Plague in the 14th century dig a tunnel with the goal of coming out on the other side of the earth and planting a cross on the highest spire to honor God and ask for his protection. When they emerge in modern-day New Zealand, the new world appears both wondrous and demonic, forcing the men to cope with unexpected challenges as they seek to fulfill their mission. Using both black-and-white and color film, Ward underscores the bright sleekness of modern civilization through the eyes of innocents seemingly from another world.

Spiritually haunted, Barabbas bears the cross of his own guilt and the ire of the nascent Christian community. The self-proclaimed un-killable Barabbas returns to his barbarous ways, inevitably sentenced to decades of strife. He is tortured by the question "Why me?" before his redemption comes to pass. In an uncanny parallel to Biblical legend, the crucifixion scene was filmed during an actual solar eclipse.

The Dryden will screen The Brother from Another Planet (John Sayles, U.S. 1984, 108 min., 35mm) as part of the First Contact series.
Sayles is a master of telling diverse American stories with empathy and humor. This early charmer uses the Pov of a true alien immigrant. From the outset, the Brother (Joe Morton) is assailed by a multiplicity of language, music, and symbols—the cultural overload that is Manhattan. The Brother settles into a Harlem dive bar, where his inability to speak makes him a sounding board for community opinions. His electro-telekinetic powers employ him as a video arcade repairman until white intergalactic slave traders attempt a repatriation.

The recent executive order banning Syrian refugees and many Muslim immigrants from entering the country is an undisguised act of bigotry and xenophobia. We are standing in solidarity with our refugee community, Muslim community, and immigrant community, and speaking out against bigotry, xenophobia, and intolerance in our community and in our country. We are also asking our local officials to maintain our sanctuary city status against threats of federal action. No one in Rochester should be regarded as illegal, unwelcome, or unwanted. Our community should and must be open to all.
