Asbury Park: Riot, Redemption, Rock 'n Roll screening (2019-May-22 @ 6:30 p.m.)
2019-05-22 18:30 - 20:26 (America/New_York) | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Asbury Park: Riot, Redemption, Rock 'n Roll (Tom Jones, U.S. 2019, 116 min.)
Asbury Park: Riot, Redemption, Rock 'n Roll tells the story of the long troubled town of Asbury Park, and how the power of music can unite a divided community. A once storied seaside resort, Asbury Park erupted in flames during a summer of civil unrest, crippling the town for the next 45 years and reducing it to a state of urban blight. A town literally divided by a set of railroad tracks, the riot destroyed the fabled Westside jazz and blues scene, but from the flames of the burning city emerged the iconic Jersey sound.
Asbury Park returns Asbury sons Steven Van Zandt, Southside Johnny Lyon and Bruce Springsteen to the legendary Upstage, the psychedelic after hours club where they got their start, featuring never before seen interviews and performances. Shuttered for four and a half decades, the Upstage remains a perfect time capsule of the Club which united both sides of the tracks in Asbury and acted as a crucible for young talent. Now, as Asbury Park enjoys its long awaited renaissance, it is music which has brought it back from the dead.

Two for the Road screening
2019-05-22 19:30 - 21:21 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Two for the Road (Stanley Donen, U.K. 1967, 111 min., 35mm) as part of the Albert Finney series.
Albert Finney and a luminous Audrey Hepburn (in what some fans consider her finest performance) are bickering married couple Mark and Joanna, visiting the North of France for the celebration of one of Mark's clients. As they make the trip, they reflect on their relationship—which we see in flashback—from their first meeting to their early marriage and the difficulties of maintaining a mature relationship. The superb direction from Stanley Donen and the sterling script by Frederic Raphael (who cowrote Eyes Wide Shut) artfully evokes both the thrill of young romance, as well as the hardships and rewards of married life.

He will speak about how New York's age-friendly designation overlaps with Smart Growth community design principles and its impact on transportation systems, active living and public health.
We will also offer twelve breakout sessions covering a variety of topics around active transportation and recreation. These include: women and bike commuting; a group bike ride with Pace Bike Share; kids on the move: active transportation to, from and at school; future streets; designing complete streets; livable communities: great places for all ages; and transportation, land use and poverty.

An aging poet (Ki Joo-bong) summons his two estranged sons to a solitary hotel beside the Han River because he feels his death is near. While waiting for them to arrive, he meets two women out walking in the new-fallen snow and is struck by their angelic beauty. But the women have come to the hotel to do some healing of their own. As the poet moves between the women and his bickering sons, he also moves between his two minds: one that walks on the street and the other that communes with the eternal. Shot in gauzy black-and-white with a strikingly untethered handheld camera, Hong's film interweaves the various dramas of his characters in a quiet, straightforward way. Small coincidences and privileged moments combine to create a powerful meditation on family and death.

Solidarity and Support: A Dinner to Benefit Benny and Nina Warr
2019-05-25 17:30 - 19:30 | Flying Squirrel Community Space, 285 Clarissa St., Rochester, New York, 14608, United States
A little more than 6 years ago on May 1, Benny Warr was pepper sprayed, dumped out of his motorized wheelchair, and was punched, kicked, and kneed by Rochester Police Department officers Ferrigno, Liberatore, and Stewart. He was told to move on as the officers were clearing the block. When he refused and told them that he was waiting for the bus, they attacked him.
Five and half years later a jury finally heard his civil suit and sided with the officers' story giving Benny just $1 in nominal damages. The judge is considering motions to reverse the verdict.
Over the last six years, Benny's quality of life has deteriorated. The pain he feels in his body has gotten progressively worse. He suffers from Ptsd. He is unable to use his prosthesis to get around. All this caused because of police violence.
Please come out showing support and solidarity with Benny and Nina.
