Starring Margaret O'Brien and Dean Stockwell, The Secret Garden was far ahead of its time and set the bar high for future adaptations.

White Like Me screening
2015-08-09 15:00 - 16:09 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen White Like Me (Scott Morris, U.S. 2013, 69 min.)
White Like Me, based on the work of acclaimed anti-racist educator and author Tim Wise, explores race and racism in the U.S. through the lens of whiteness and white privilege. In a stunning reassessment of the American ideal of meritocracy and claims that we've entered a post-racial society, Wise offers a fascinating look back at the race-based white entitlement programs that built the American middle class, and argues that our failure as a society to come to terms with this legacy of white privilege continues to perpetuate racial inequality and race-driven political resentments today. For years, Tim Wise's bestselling books and spellbinding lectures have challenged some of our most basic assumptions about race in America. White Like Me is the first film to bring the full range of his work to the screen — to show how white privilege continues to shape individual attitudes, electoral politics, and government policy in ways too many white people never stop to think about.

The creepy cast features Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray, and Glenda Farrell as the wisecracking sob sister.

Famous Nathan screening
2015-08-11 19:00 - 20:26 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Famous Nathan (Lloyd Handwerker, U.S. 2014, 86 min.) as part of the One Take Documentary Series. Director Lloyd Handwerker will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A.
Famous Nathan is the insider documentary by Lloyd Handwerker, grandson of Nathan Handwerker, who founded the legendary Brooklyn eatery and iconic New York institution, Nathan's Famous, in Coney Island in 1916. Over a thirty-year period, Lloyd has filmed, archived and researched the story of both his grandfather and the family-run business. The film contains never before heard audio recordings of Nathan describing his upbringing in a poor village in Poland, emigration to New York and details of creating and running Nathan's for over forty years. Featuring interviews with extended family, friends and the employees who helped make Nathan's the prototype for fast-food made with quality, love and care, it is also very much a story of labor and a chronicle of the people who spent their lives in the employ of Nathan's. Their devotion to serving millions of customers in the hustle-bustle, nano-second speed, day in and day out grind of the restaurant is clear. Rich in nostalgia, Famous Nathan pushes the boundaries of conventional documentary filmmaking, as kaleidoscopic and layered as Coney Island itself, capturing the honky-tonk, in-your-face spirit that was Nathan's Famous in its hey-day and today.

In Dakang they meet Nils Helstrom, who spins a yarn about treasure on Skull Island to fool them into getting him out of Dakang. When they reach Skull Island they realize Kong wasn't the only member of his family . . . Quickly following on the success of King Kong, The Son of Kong is a charming, small-scale sequel, featuring much of the crew of the first film, including animator Willis O'Brien.

2015-08-12 20:00 - 23:00 | Downstairs Cabaret at Winton Place, 3450 Winton Pl., Rochester, New York, 14623, United States
From his humble beginnings as an Oklahoma folkie in the '60s to his wild ride through the '70s progressive country movement, and onward through the honky-tonk fog of the '80s to his sobriety-empowered comeback as a songwriter's songwriter in the '90s, Hubbard was already a bona fide legend by the time he really found his groove — blues — right at the turn of the century. When it comes to down 'n' dirty roots 'n' roll, nobody in the wide world of Americana music today does it better than Ray Wylie Hubbard. Presented by Abilene on the Road.

Ozawa screening, Horowitz Plays Mozart screening
2015-08-12 20:30 - 22:17 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Ozawa (Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Deborah Dickson, and Susan Froemke, France/Japan/West Germany 1985, 57 min., 16mm), and Horowitz Plays Mozart (Albert Maysles, Susan Froemke, and Charlotte Zwerin, U.S. 1987, 50 min., 16mm).
A backstage look at one of classical music's best-known yet least understood figures. Ozawa has been music director of the Boston Symphony since 1973, and as one of the world's top maestros he appears in such musical capitals as Berlin, Paris, and Milan. In March 1987, pianist Vladimir Horowitz embarked on an extraordinary project. For the first time in 35 years, he agreed to record with a symphony orchestra in a studio. He chose the conductor, Carlo Maria Giulini; the orchestra, the La Scala Philharmonic; and the location, the Abanella recording studio of La Scala in Milan. Horowitz steadfastly refused to allow the month-long sessions to be filmed, until the evening before the last scheduled session when he unexpectedly changed his mind.

El Sur (South) screening
2015-08-13 20:00 - 21:35 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen El Sur (South, VÃctor Erice, Spain/France 1983, 95 min., 35mm, Spanish w/ subtitles).
South follows a girl growing up in the 1950s in the north of Spain. She dreams of the mysteries of the Spanish south that are somehow connected with her father, a man she both adores and knows very little about. Much like Erice's debut feature, South is primarily a lyrical chronicle of growing up and coming to terms with alien adult life. Using only natural light, Erice evokes a dense atmosphere of both naturalism and dreaminess, serving to reflect the girl's shifting perception of her father. South could also be seen as a very special reworking of Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, another story of a gradual demystification of a beloved, charismatic character. But instead of crime, nothing less than life in all its unbearable mundaneness happens in South.

Formed in 2009 and based in the Finger Lakes region of New York, the band has grown a loyal following, thanks to electric live performances and three studio releases. Blending roots, ska, dub, dance-hall and beyond, Mosaic is an exploration in reggae that is pushed to the limits and sometimes spills over. With lyrics that inspire dancing in the moment, and activate the mind in reflection, the songs encourage positivity, sustainable living and community.
