Wrestle screening (2019-Apr-19 @ 8:40 p.m.)
2019-04-19 20:40 - 22:16 (America/New_York) | Cinema Theatre, 957 S. Clinton Ave., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
The Cinema will screen Wrestle (Suzannah Herbert, Lauren Belfer, U.S. 2018, 96 min.)
Hoop Dreams goes to the mat in this intimate, coming-of-age documentary about four members of a high-school wrestling team at Huntsville's J.O. Johnson High School, a longstanding entry on Alabama's list of failing schools. Coached by teacher Chris Scribner, teammates Jailen, Jamario, Teague, and Jaquan each face challenges far beyond a shot at the State Championship: splintered family lives, drug use, teenage pregnancy, mental health struggles, and run-ins with the law threaten to derail their success on the mat and lock any doors that could otherwise open. Tough-love coach Scribner isn't off the hook, either; he must come to terms with his own past conflicts while unwittingly wading into the complexities of race, class and privilege in the South. Director Suzannah Herbert and Co-Director Lauren Belfer captured over 650 hours of footage during the course of the team's final season to create this closely observed, deeply affecting depiction of growing up disadvantaged in America today.

2019-04-20 14:00 - 16:00 | Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
5Head fuses elements of 1st and 2nd wave ska with soul and swing to create an upbeat energetic sound that is catchy and feverishly danceable.
From a songwriting perspective, what makes 5Head stand out among the legions of other ska bands is simple: hook. That thing that catches your ear and makes something new seem familiar. From the bass lines to the chord progression, from the vocal melody to the horns lines, hook is king.

The cast also includes Yul Brynner, Edward G. Robinson, Yvonne Decarlo, Judith Anderson, Vincent Price, and John Carradine.

The Graduate screening
2019-04-21 16:00 - 17:46 | University of Rochester River Campus, Intercampus Dr. & Library Rd., Rochester, New York, 14611, United States
The UofR Cinema Group will screen The Graduate (Mike Nichols, U.S. 1967, 106 min.) in Lattimore Hall, Room 201.
One of the most beloved American films of all time, The Graduate earned Mike Nichols a best director Oscar, brought the music of Simon and Garfunkel to a wider audience, and introduced the world to a young actor named Dustin Hoffman. Benjamin Braddock (Hoffman) has just finished college and is already lost in a sea of confusion and barely contained angst when he becomes sexually involved with a friend of his parents', the indomitable Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), before turning his attention to her college-age daughter (Katharine Ross). Visually imaginative and impeccably acted, with a clever, endlessly quotable script by Buck Henry (based on the novel by Charles Webb), The Graduate had the kind of cultural impact that comes along only once in a generation.

Al-massir (Destiny) screening
2019-04-21 18:00 - 20:15 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Al-massir (Destiny, Youssef Chahine, Egypt/France 1997, 135 min., 35mm, Arabic and French w/subtitles) as part of the Salam series.
The true story of the great philosopher Averroes, whose commentaries on Aristotle are fundamental to our current understanding of the latter's writings. In twelfth-century Andalusia, the south of Spain, Averroes is appointed a judge, but his rulings and writings are the target of a growing movement. His loyal band of students and followers vow to keep his teachings alive, but when the caliph who appointed him dies, his position becomes vulnerable. Filmed in Lebanon and Syria, and directed by arguably the greatest Egyptian director, this wonderful epic utilizes occasional musical interludes to punctuate the story of a man who deserves to be recognized and remembered.

2019-04-22 13:30 - 15:05 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen I Confess (Alfred Hitchcock, U.S. 1953, 95 min., 35mm).
The Master of Suspense tests the boundaries of the sanctity of the confession booth with this courtroom thriller. Following the murder of a lawyer, the testimony of two young girls lead to the arrest of Father Michael Hogan (Montgomery Clift). Hogan is innocent and knows who the killer is—but only because of a confession, which he is sworn not to divulge. Although he denies any involvement in the crime, he cannot offer any contradictory information and must leave it to the insinuations of the prosecutor, the self-serving tactics of the police, and faith in his own code of conduct to save him from jail. Hitchcock's own Catholic upbringing adds dimension to this lesser-known gem.

2019-04-23 19:30 - 21:18 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Blow Out (Brian De Palma, U.S. 1981, 108 min., 35mm) as part of the Movies in the Movies series.
Not all films are made to be seen. John Travolta plays Jack Terry, a sound effects technician on a low-budget horror film. While collecting ambient sounds for a film, he witnesses a car careening off a cliff, killing the driver. He helps the passenger get to the hospital and later discovers that his microphone may have picked up evidence of foul play. When his audio is paired with stills taken by a bystander, the evidence seems irrefutable, and Terry is drawn into a political conspiracy involving a psychopathic hitman. De Palma remakes Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up, by way of Hitchcock.

2019-04-24 19:30 - 21:10 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Westerner (William Wyler, U.S. 1940, 100 min., 35mm) as part of the United Artists Centennial series.
Producer Samuel Goldwyn's last film for United Artists may be his best. Cole Harden (Gary Cooper) makes his living as a wandering cowhand until he is falsely accused of horse theft and brought before Judge Roy Bean (Academy Award winner Walter Brennan). Noting Bean's affection for the British actress Lily Langtry, who is touring the United States at the time, Harden claims to have met the actress and procured a lock of her hair, which he would be willing to give to Bean. This buys him enough time for the true horse thief to be found, but when Harden falls in love and sides with the homesteaders against the cattlemen, Harden and Bean will again come face-to-face.
