Understanding White Privilege
2018-10-09 19:00 - 21:00 | 540WMain Community Arts Education and Cultural Center, 540 W. Main St., Rochester, New York, 14608, United States
This group facilitated discussion unpacks the premise and concept of white privilege through the lens of Black Americans and persons of color. This conversation will be loosely centered around the book Understanding White Privilege: Creating Pathways to Authentic Relationships Across Race by Francis E. Kendall. What does white privilege mean? How does it guise and manifest itself to perpetuate racism at the individual, organizational and systemic levels? How can white people understand the theoretical language of white privilege and their complicity in it whether intentional or not. White community members are encouraged to attend but be prepared to be reflective, open minded, and allow the perspectives of non-whites to take center stage. This conversation may be triggering and uncomfortable for all especially for people of color. This conversation is designed specifically for white community members interested in antiracism and dismantling systemic racism. The goal is to move participants towards being educated, equipped and empowered as change agents to eliminate racism in our community.

The Dryden will screen Buddies (Arthur J. Bressan Jr., U.S. 1985, 81 min., DCP) as part of the ImageOut of the Archive series.
The first feature to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic, this film has recently been restored and re-released for the big screen. The story follows two gay men: Robert, who is dying of AIDS, and David, who pays him regular visits in the hospital, becoming his "buddy" as Robert deals with his illness. What starts out as very formal (David shows up in a surgical mask and gloves), becomes a close friendship as the two share histories and happier times, debate the gay liberation movement, and change each other's lives. Tragically, the director himself died from AIDS-related complications two years after the film was released.

2018-10-10 19:30 - 21:00 | Kilbourn Hall at Eastman School of Music, 60 Gibbs St., Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
Clay Jenkins' career as a jazz artist has covered a wide range of musical experiences and responsibilities, bringing him to the forefront of the jazz performing and teaching arenas. Clay's experience as a performer began at an early age playing with the Stan Kenton Orchestra. He recorded three live albums with the Kenton Band, Artistry in Symphonic Jazz, A Time for Love, and The Lost Concerts, Vols. I and II, and was also involved with the "Stan Kenton Orchestra in Residence Jazz Camps." Clay moved to Los Angeles in 1978, where he was in demand as both a live performer and studio-recording musician. It was at this time that he studied with the renowned trumpet teacher, James Stamp. From Los Angeles, he toured with the big bands of Harry James, Buddy Rich, and finally, the Count Basie Orchestra. Since moving to Rochester, NY to join the Eastman faculty in 2000, Clay has maintained a busy performing, recording, and teaching schedule. He has remained active throughout the United States (especially NYC and La) and abroad. Clay continues to perform and record with the Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, of which he is a charter member (the trumpet section has included trumpet artists Snooky Young, Bobby Bryant, Chuck Findley, Oscar Brashear, Byron Stripling, and Bijon Watson).

A Letter to Three Wives screening (2018-Oct-10 @ 7:30 p.m.)
2018-10-10 19:30 - 21:13 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen A Letter to Three Wives (Joseph L. Mankiewicz, U.S. 1949, 103 min., 35mm) as part of the Reinventing Hollywood series.
Prior to boarding a boat for an all-day charity picnic, three married women (Jeanne Crain, Linda Darnell, Ann Sothern) receive a single letter saying that another woman has run away with one of their husbands, but doesn't tell them which. All three husbands have excuses for why they can't be at the picnic, so the story depends on flashback to investigate which of the three husbands may have been the one to escape. Mankiewicz won two consecutive writing and directing Oscars for this film and the equally flashback-heavy All About Eve, released the following year.

Spencer Tracy is George Heisler, one of seven prisoners who escape from a German concentration camp in 1936. The commandant of the camp is determined to track them down and vows that each one he recovers will be put on a cross to die. One by one, the men are captured until only one cross remains empty. The final escapee will need to not only think on his feet, but also have faith in humanity—particularly difficult in a Germany on the verge of war. A unique voice-over narration is only one of the techniques that distinguish this film.

No Intenso Agora (In the Intense Now) screening
2018-10-12 19:30 - 21:37 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen No Intenso Agora (In the Intense Now, JoÃ£o Moreira Salles, Brazil 2017, 127 min., DCP, Portuguese and French w/subtitles) as part of the Labor Film Series.
Like Chris Marker's classic documentary A Grin Without a Cat, JoÃ£o Moreira Salles's film speaks to the late 1960s as a moment of great historical intensity. Footage from China during the 1966 Cultural Revolution is juxtaposed with that of the French students' uprising in May of 1968 and the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in August of the same year. Funerals of students, workers, and police officers link the events of 1968 in the cities of Paris, Lyon, Prague, and Rio de Janeiro. The footage, all of it archival, reveals the state of mind of those filmed—joy, enchantment, fear, disappointment, dismay—and sheds light on the relationship between a film document and its political context.
