Chi-Town screening
2019-03-29 18:30 - 19:52 (America/New_York) | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Chi-Town (Nick Budabin, U.S. 2018, 82 min.) as part of the The Black Cinema Series.
Chi-Town follows Keifer Sykes on his meteoric rise from Marshall High School on Chicago's West Side to his improbable shot at the NBA. This exhilarating multi-year journey of the explosive point guard's ascent is punctuated by personal loss, debilitating injury, and tragic violence. At only 5'11 and surrounded by shattered dreams and wasted potential, the odds are stacked against Keifer at every turn. Keifer's focus on his goal and his never-wavering support for his community are inspirations. This is an intimate, raw, surprising and unique behind the scenes look at a true champion — and what it really takes to make it.

Days of Heaven screening
2019-03-29 19:30 - 21:04 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Days of Heaven (Terrence Malick, U.S. 1978, 94 min., 35mm) as part of the Morricone×2 series.
Ennio Morricone composed three primary themes for Terrence Malick's film—a French-inspired Main Theme, a sweeping pastoral theme featuring the flute, and the haunting love theme for our protagonists (Richard Gere, Brooke Adams). Gere plays Bill, on the run from Chicago to the Texas panhandle in 1914. Along with him are his girlfriend Abby (Adams) and younger sister Linda. They take seasonal work with a farmer (Sam Shepard) who doesn't have long to live. Bill convinces Abby to marry the farmer so they can inherit the land and stay there forever. Nestor Almendros, a favorite cinematographer of both FranÃ§ois Truffaut and Ã‰ric Rohmer, combines his talents with those of Malick and Morricone to create one of the great elegies for the idealized American frontier.

C'era una volta il West (Once Upon a Time in the West) screening
2019-03-30 19:30 - 22:15 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen C'era una volta il West (Once Upon a Time in the West, Sergio Leone, Italy/U.S. 1968, 165 min., 35mm) as part of the Morricone×2 series.
Ennio Morricone composed and recorded his leitmotifs for the four main characters so that Sergio Leone could play them on set while filming to inspire the actors (Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards, Charles Bronson). So distinctive and expressive are these musical themes that a character does not even need to be on screen for the audience to feel their presence. A eulogy for the end of the West—and of the western—the film was shot in the seldom-used Techniscope format to take advantage of superior lenses and their deep focus to capture the never-ending landscapes of Monument Valley.

12 Angry Men screening (2019-Apr-1 @ 1:30 p.m.)
2019-04-01 13:30 - 15:06 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen 12 Angry Men (Sidney Lumet, U.S. 1957, 96 min., 35mm).
Henry Fonda stars in this classic courtroom drama that takes place almost entirely within the sweltering jury room on the hottest day of the year. A young man from the slums of New York is charged with the murder of his father, and his life hangs in the balance as the twelve men on the jury deliberate his fate. A sole dissenter (Fonda) tries to prevent a miscarriage of justice by challenging his colleagues to look beyond personal prejudice and dispassionately examine the evidence with the criterion of reasonable doubt. In the days of lush Technicolor productions, the confined, black-and-white 12 Angry Men was outstanding for its spare reliance on dialogue, performance, and progressively changing lenses and camera angles.

Conversation on Cultural Humility
2019-04-01 17:00 - 19:00 | Phillis Wheatley Community Library, 33 Dr. Samuel McCree Wy, Rochester, New York, 14608, United States
In conjunction with Phillis Wheatley Community Library, we will be hosting a discussion on cultural humility for adults 18 and older. Cultural humility is a framework for supporting lifelong learning and reflection with the goal of influencing and addressing structural inequalities.
Through interactive exercises, this workshop will introduce and support understanding of a process-oriented mindset in relation to out cultures. Cultural humility perspectives seek to address issues related to unconscious bias and other perceptual and habitual challenges that prevent us from learning and seeing each other's full humanity.

2019-04-02 19:30 - 21:44 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen In Cold Blood (Richard Brooks, U.S. 1967, 134 min., 35mm) as part of the Courtroom Dramas series.
Based on Truman Capote's nonfiction novel, which itself was based on direct reporting of the real-life violent slaughter of a well-to-do Kansas family for the sum of $40, this film was shot in a stark black and white that underscores the dispassion of the killers. The film's flashback structure provides temporal distance from the murders while allowing the audience to get to know the killers—resulting in a humanization in contrast with the acts they are accused of. Their lives hang in the balance as the film culminates in an impassioned debate about criminal punishment. This is the last great legal drama before the genre made a return in the late 1970s.
