2019-04-09 19:30 - 21:11 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Front Page (Lewis Milestone, U.S. 1931, 101 min., DCP) as part of the United Artists Centennial series.
Howard Hughes produced this first adaptation of Ben Hecht's play to an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. A precursor of screwball comedic wit and timing, the film stars Pat O'Brien and Adolphe Menjou as an ace Chicago reporter and the editor that will do anything to see that he doesn't retire for married life. When a scheduled execution at the prison goes off the rails, Menjou convinces O'Brien to cover the event. Caught between the work he loves and his departing fiancée, O'Brien finds himself in life-or-death situations that seem to be out of his control. Later gender-swapped and remade as His Girl Friday, this early example of screwball comedy was a coup for United Artists.

The Dryden will screen The Parallax View (Alan J. Pakula, U.S. 1974, 102 min., 35mm) as part of the Movies in the Movies series.
Warren Beatty stars as newspaper reporter Joe Frady in the second installment of director Alan J. Pakula's "paranoia trilogy." Inspired by the assassinations of John F. and Robert Kennedy, the film depicts the assassination of a fictional presidential candidate. Years later, the witnesses to the assassination are dying mysteriously, one by one. As Frady becomes more deeply involved in his investigation, he is led to the assassin-recruiting Parallax Corporation and begins to uncover a vast corporate and political conspiracy. Vision remains a central theme throughout, as action is obscured by curtains, fences, glass, and shadows. The indoctrination sequence is foundational in the exploration of film editing and recalls a similar sequence in 1971's A Clockwork Orange.

We will also consider current debates around the recreational and medicinal use of this plant.

2019-04-11 19:00 - 21:00 | Visual Studies Workshop, 31 Prince St., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
In Dialogue is a series in which we invite practicing filmmakers to show their work alongside films from the VSW Collection, creating a dialogue among works that resonates with and reflect upon the approach of the filmmaker. Mary Helena Clark is an artist whose work uses the language of collage, often bringing together disparate subjects and styles that suggest an exterior logic or code, to explore dissociative states through cinema. This program features a selection of Clark's short films presented with a surprising assortment of slapstick, science and social studies films from the VSW collection.

Barton Fink screening
2019-04-11 19:30 - 21:26 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Barton Fink (Joel Coen, U.S. 1991, 116 min., 35mm) as part of the Movies in the Movies series.
Written during a three-week break from Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink was anything but a flash in the pan. A genre-bender that nearly swept the 1991 Cannes Film Festival (winning the Palme d'Or, Best Director, and Best Actor), Barton Fink has endured as one of the Coen brothers' finest artistic achievements. Migrating from Broadway to Hollywood, writer Barton Fink sets up shop in the cavernous Hotel Earle, descending into a paranoid, claustrophobic, art deco—styled nightmare. As always, the brothers elicit stellar work from their actors, with Coen favorites John Turturro and John Goodman turning in career-defining roles.

The Archive Ravens musical performance
2019-04-11 20:00 - 22:00 | Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Archive Ravens are equally passionate about creating new music and preserving music from different cultures and time periods. They are currently finishing their first album of original music, Trobairitz.
Refusing to be restricted by genre, Trobairitz is highly exploratory: it contains a Troubadour ballad, a Japanese cradle song, a musical palindrome set in the style of sacred music, a 50's/60's girl group number, a Samba dance tune, a James Bond-esque cinematic jazz piece, and much more. However, the messages underpinning the music are united by common themes – including an emphasis on resilience, appreciation for the natural world, and a resolve to be mindful of the current moment. Trobairitz seeks to capture the essence of many disparate cultures, in attempts to unearth the threads of humanity shared between us all.
