William Kentridge, Triumphs and Laments screening
2017-07-01 19:30 - 20:40 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen William Kentridge, Triumphs and Laments (Giovanni Troilo, Italy 2016, 70 min., DCP).
This documentary tells the story of the making of Triumphs and Laments, one of South African artist William Kentridge's most ambitious and controversial projects. A colossal tribute to the history of Rome, the project is a 550-meter-long frieze on the banks of the Tiber, portraying the glories and the tragedies of the Eternal City—but the frieze itself will disappear within a few years. This film, shot with exclusive access over two years, is the most complete record of this piece, from the artist's studio in Johannesburg through rehearsals and finally the grand opening. The film traces the connections that link Triumphs and Laments to Kentridge's most fundamental themes, such as the refusal of racial discrimination or the complex relations between landscape and memory.

With their respective milestones Metropolis and The Fall of the House of Usher, Fritz Lang and Jean Epstein each gifted film history the most stunning imagery and visual effects. We are opening our July program with their first studio-produced sound films, inviting you to explore how Lang and Epstein assimilated what sound technologies had to offer to the art and imagination of cinema. The Sea of Ravens is the second docu-fiction Epstein directed in his beloved Brittany, France, casting the weathered bodies and faces of local islanders. And after hearing Peter Lorre's whistle in Lang's drama-thriller M, you will never be able to forget his shadow . . .

How can the shape of a work be a site of resistance? How do collaborative practices inform our ideas of activism in art? What does it mean for resistance to happen in an exhibition context? Squeaky Wheel's summer group exhibition features a number of artists aiming to take these questions to task, while asking their own. Comprised of installations, performances, single-screen video work, video games, locative sound and media pieces, the exhibition points to strictures and traumas that have roots far preceding our current political moment, while proposing visions, sounds, and networks for a future.

Incorporating moments of both heart-pounding suspense and improbable beauty, the documentary draws us into the lives of three of its founders—Khaled, Subhi, and Mahmoud—as they grapple with the chaos around them and struggle with an ever-present dilemma: to flee with their families or stay and fight for their country. A gripping portrait of extraordinary bravery, Last Men in Aleppo provides a stirring new perspective on a conflict reshaping our world.

Seth Faergolzia's Multibird – Rochester based experimental folk rock quartet. An incredible, prophetic artist and redonkulous singer. Not to be missed! […] Seth is well known for subtly harmonic, experimental lyricism, dynamic song structures, and "whip-crack-acrobatic" vocals. Celebrated as a vibrant example of what happens when a musician turns a genre like folk upside down and inside out, over time Faergolzia has come to represent something of a genre unto himself oft times nowhere near the folk aesthetic.
