Doctor Zhivago screening
2019-02-23 19:30 - 22:47 (America/New_York) | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Doctor Zhivago (David Lean, U.S./Italy/U.K. 1965, 197 min., 35mm) as part of the Oscar Week series and theWinter Romance series.
An epic romance of doomed love, Doctor Zhivago is set amidst the tumultuous years encompassing World War I, the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the Russian Civil War. Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif) is a married physician and poet who falls madly in love with Lara (Julie Christie), a nurse who is also married. The tangled epic of love and war "did nothing less than re-create Moscow and its countryside," according to Roger Ebert. "Doctor Zhivago," Ebert continues, "believes that history should have a lot of room for personal feelings . . . the individual over the state, the heart over the mind." Banned in the Soviet Union for decades, Doctor Zhivago won five of the ten Academy Awards for which it was nominated and has continued to garner acclaim ever since.

Sim Redmond Band musical performance
2019-02-23 20:00 - 22:00 | Lovin' Cup, 300 Park Point Dr., Rochester, New York, 14623, United States
The Lovin' Cup will host the Sim Redmond Band (whom I first saw at the Krown almost exactly 17 years ago) and liked enough to keep going to their shows for some time.
Since their inception almost 20 years ago, the Sim Redmond Band has been steadily on the rise, forging new ground in roots music. Traveling around the globe, playing with the likes of moe., the Neville Brothers, the Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, and Habib Koite, in some of the most beautiful venues in the U.S. and Japan, the world has taken notice. With 8 tours of Japan under their belt, Srb's unique blend of roots-rock, Afro-Carribean, and reggae music continues to spread like wild fire.
They are based in Ithaca, NY but their magnetic pole is Africa, particularly the sounds eminating from West and South Africa. This magnetic pole has served as a pivot for the Sim Redmond Band to spring into straight rock grooves and pumping reggae. The vocal teamwork of Sim Redmond, Jen Middaugh, and Nate Silas Richardson creates some of the richest harmonies you'll ever hear.

Mostly Other People Do The Killing musical performance (2019-Feb-23 @ 8 p.m.)
2019-02-23 20:00 - 22:00 | Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
It's hard to believe that Mostly Other People Do The Killing (henceforth referred to as MOPDtK) have been together since 2003 and have been releasing recordings since 2005. (a dozen at last count.) Starting as a quartet (leader Moppa Elliott – bass, John Irabagon – reeds, Peter Evans – trumpet and Kevin Shea – drums) they've been through several personnel shifts, occasionally adding members. At one point they were up to a septet. But no matter the size, the band has always maintained its distinct freewheeling approach, high level musicianship, complex yet accessible compositions and musical antics that have made them so popular.
We are pleased to be able to bring MOPDtK back to Bop Shop Records, something we have been wanting to do for several years. Elliott is bringing a unique edition. This will feature MOPDtK as a piano trio featuring new pianist Ron Stabinsky. On record, Stabinsky made his first appearance on Blue, the band's notorious "reworking" of Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue recording. Stabinsky subsequently replaced trumpeter Evans on their most recent record, Mauch Chaunk. Stabinsky has also recently released his first solo piano record, the ironically titled Free For One. It's a bracing set of free improvisations that's been well-received. We also have to mention bassist Moppa Elliott's recent solo bass release, Still, Up In The Air which has also received favorable reviews.

Oslo, 1987. Seventeen-year-old Euronymous is determined to escape his idyllic Scandinavian hometown and create "true Norwegian black metal" with his band, Mayhem. He's joined by equally fanatical youths – Dead and Varg. Believing that they're on the cusp of a musical revolution, the group gets even darker driven by the black metal dogma to spread evil.
They begin burning down churches throughout the countryside and stealing tombstones for their record store. But when the press catches up with them and Euronymous takes more credit than he's earned for the group's violent acts, Varg, fresh out of jail, arranges a dark encounter to settle the score and ultimately determine who the darkest black metal musician is.

A string of incidents lead many in the crew to believe that Queeg is paranoid and perhaps insane, culminating in a mutiny when they fear that the ship will sink during a typhoon. The film follows the story of the crew from sea to land as Ensign Keith and Lieutenant Maryk (Van Johnson) are tried for mutiny by a court-martial.

On October 22, 1963, more than 250,000 students boycotted the Chicago Public Schools to protest racial segregation. Many marched through the city calling for the resignation of School Superintendent Benjamin Willis, who placed trailers, dubbed 'Willis Wagons,' on playgrounds and parking lots of overcrowded black schools rather than let them enroll in nearby white schools. Blending unseen 16mm footage of the march shot by Kartemquin founder Gordon Quinn with the participants' reflections today, '63 Boycott connects the forgotten story of one of the largest northern civil rights demonstrations to contemporary issues around race, education, school closings, and youth activism.
