Shannon McNally musical performance
2017-09-09 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
Here's what Rodney Crowell said about Shannon McNally…"i first heard of Shannon McNally through John Leventhal, who described her vocal skills as having just the right amount of girlish smoke. At the time I was looking for just the right singer to make a cameo appearance on a song I was recording called "Famous Last Words of a Fool." Trusting John's appraisal—from his description I imagined something of a cross between Joan Jett and Lauren Bacall—I set about tracking the mystery singer down. What I eventually discovered in the small town of Holly springs, Mississippi was this dark-eyed beauty who wrote grown-up songs, played a pretty mean Fender Stratocaster and, at times, sounded a lot like Jesse Mae Hemphill. From our first meeting I couldn't shake the feeling that I was the right man for the job of shepherding the next Shannon McNally record into existence. Now that the record is made, I hope music lovers around the world will come to know what I and many others already know: this girl belongs in the Americana Music spotlight."

A Clockwork Orange screening (2017-Sep-9 @ 7:30 p.m.)
2017-09-09 19:30 - 21:46 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick, U.K./U.S. 1971, 136 min., 35mm) as part of the Museum Treasures, and Primal Screen series.
Almost half a century after its release, Kubrick's most successful film at the box office is still his most controversial. The director himself decided to withdraw it from circulation in the U.K. after a series of criminal acts allegedly inspired by Anthony Burgess's dystopian view of a society torn between violence and repression. For the history of cinema, this is also a tour de force in expressionist style, brilliantly complemented by the electronic soundtrack by Wendy Carlos.

Jim Gaudet and The Railroad Boys musical performance
2017-09-09 21:30 - 23:30 | Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
Jim Gaudet and The Railroad Boys make one feel as if they're traveling in time, maybe back to Louisiana in 1963. Mel Guarino of The Bluebillies said, "There is no other band that I know that can sound so modern and yet so classic and nostalgic. It's at once, "Old Timey" and "Timeless," echoing the sound and feel of maybe Hank Williams or the Stanley Brothers, with a "hill-billy" edge."

The Dryden will screen The Big Parade (King Vidor, U.S. 1925, 125 min., 35mm) as part of the WWI series.
King Vidor's poignant account of idealistic, naive John Gilbert's spiritual maturing in the trenches was the first and perhaps best American WWI epic, providing a supremely humane and unflinching view of the terrors to Americans who were uncertain of how to deal with the war's residual pain. It remains a brilliant piece of filmmaking and a celebration of inner strength and love that needs to be seen on the big screen. Special screening of a 1931 reissue print with a recorded soundtrack.

Recently preserved by the George Eastman Museum in collaboration with the UCLA Film and Television Archive, the film will be presented in a new 35mm print that showcases the vivid cinematography by the great Charles Lang, who won an Oscar for his achievement.

David Gilmour Live at Pompeii screening
2017-09-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen David Gilmour Live at Pompeii (Gavin Elder, Italy 2017, 100 min.)
45 years after Pink Floyd's David Gilmour filmed 'Live At Pompeii' in the legendary Roman Amphitheatre there, he returned for two spectacular shows, part of his year-long tour in support of his No.1 album 'rattle That Lock'. The performances were the first-ever rock concerts for an audience in the stone Roman amphitheatre, and, for two nights only, the 2,600 strong crowd stood exactly where gladiators would have fought in the first century AD. 'David Gilmour Live At Pompeii' is an audio-visual spectacle, featuring lasers, pyrotechnics and a huge circular screen on which specially-created films complement selected songs, but paramount above all is the astonishing music and stellar performances from an all-star band. The show includes songs from throughout David's career, as well as many Pink Floyd classics, including 'One Of These Days', the only song that was also performed at the band's 1971 show.

Liebelei screening
2017-09-13 19:30 - 20:53 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Liebelei (Max Ophüls, Germany 1933, 83 min., 35mm, German w/subtitles) as part of the WWI series.
This early work from celebrated German director Max Ophüls has all the elegance and sophistication of his later masterworks. Adapted from a play by Arthur Schnitzler, Liebelei is a classic tale of star-crossed Viennese lovers set against the backdrop of invisible World War I, but Ophüls's impeccable sense of style breathes fresh air into what could have been a fairly ordinary film in less-talented hands. Gorgeous camerawork and intricate set decoration combine to create this uniquely stunning film.

Chapter Meeting: The Lost Bird Project
2017-09-13 19:30 - 21:30 | Rochester Museum and Science Center (RMSC), 657 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
We are very likely to have unimaginable and unprecedented global human suffering from Climate Change, yet, so far, there has been no meaningful response to that threat. The answer to "why?" is multilayered and complex. Many believe that better communication of information, scientific facts, will help, but to date that has not seemed to help much. The Lost Bird Project, my non-profit based in New York, has taken a novel approach. Our mission is connecting more deeply to the earth through art. All of our many initiatives align with that. Parents care for their children in wondrous ways, often making very significant personal sacrifices, because they love their children. This is the deepest kind of connection. Lost Bird aims to foster a deep re-connection with the earth and our hope is that a deeper connection will lead to the activism we now so badly need. In this talk, I will present a few of our projects and show how we do that. Included will be two Rochester based initiatives, The Fast Forward Film Festival and Earth Vigil, I will present our documentary film, The Lost Bird Project, and Fold-theflock — The Passenger Pigeon Origami Project. Finally, I will present Smartfin, a technologically designed surfboard fin, that during normal surfing accurately measures ocean chemistry and wirelessly transmits the data to the worldwide ocean science community for research. If time permits, I will also mention our latest effort, a feature length documentary film, Rue des Elephants, that tells the story of the impending extinction of the African Forest Elephant.
