A Clockwork Orange screening (2017-Sep-7 @ 7:30 p.m.)
2017-09-07 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.

Shannon McNally musical performance
2017-09-09 19:00 - 21:00 | 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."
