Social Justice and Health Care: Some Philosophical Considerations
2017-11-10 12:00 - 13:00 | University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), 601 Elmwood Ave., Rochester, New York, 14642, United States
In the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), Room K-207 (2-6408) is a discussion titled Social Justice and Health Care: Some Philosophical Considerations.
"The presentation will frame the debate about health care reform within the broader philosophical, moral debate about social justice. What makes for a morally decent, just society, in terms of its basic structure of social, political, legal and economic institutions? What implications does this have for understanding the proper aim of the health care system, and what constraints does this place on health care reform if it is to be morally defensible? A moral argument for a universal right to affordable health care will be considered."

Ostatnia Rodzina (The Last Family) screening
2017-11-10 19:00 - 21:02 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Ostatnia Rodzina (The Last Family, Jan P. MatuszyÅ„ski, 2016, 122min.)
The Last Family chronicles the last 28 years in the life of Poland's famous painter, photographer, and sculptor ZdzisÅ‚aw BeksiÅ„ski. Far from being a classic biopic, The Last Family is a darkly humorous story about strong family ties. It concerns a peculiar love, marked by death, which lurks everywhere — it is present in ZdzisÅ‚aw's paintings,; through in music, beloved by his son Tomasz,; and in the disease, that afflicts his wife Zofia. It is also a story about people who experience their lives as an explosive mix of ideas taken from cinema, art, music and everyday reality. Finally, it is a movie about artistic nonfulfillment — about a family formed and destroyed by art. Having full access to the BeksiÅ„ski family's archives, Jan MatuszyÅ„ski was able to create a movie that painted an extremely realistic picture of the family, told through the utterly realistic performances of some of the best Polish film actors. Andrzej Seweryn won best actor at Locarno for his portrayal of ZdzisÅ‚aw BeksiÅ„ski's intentions and beliefs.

Escapes screening
2017-11-10 19:30 - 20:59 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Escapes (Michael Almereyda, U.S. 2017, 89 min., DCP).
Directed by Michael Almereyda (Experimenter) and executive produced by Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel), Escapes blazes a wild path through mid-twentieth-century Hollywood via the experiences of Hampton Fancher—flamenco dancer, actor, and unlikely producer and screenwriter of the landmark sci-fi classic Blade Runner. (Fancher also penned the story for its sequel, Blade Runner 2049.) A consummate raconteur, Fancher recounts episodes from his remarkable life—romantic misadventures with silver-screen stars, wayward acts of chivalry, jealousy, and friendship—matched with a parallel world of film and TV footage wherein Fancher plays cowboys, killers, fops, cads, and the occasional hero. Escapes shows how one man's personal journey can unexpectedly shape the future of an entire medium.

Sztuka Kochania, Historia Michaliny WisÅ‚ockiej (The Art of Love: The Story of Michalina WisÅ‚ocka) screening
2017-11-11 15:00 - 17:01 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Sztuka Kochania, Historia Michaliny WisÅ‚ockiej (The Art of Love: The Story of Michalina WisÅ‚ocka, Maria Sadowska, 2017, 121 min.)
The Art of Love an adaptation of Michalina WisÅ‚ocka's biography, is a story of the famous Polish gynecologist and sexologist, and her determination to educate Poles about their sex lives. Her so-called textbook, "The Art of Love" sold more than seven million copies in Poland, not including the number of copies in unofficial circulation. "The Art of Love" was also a bestseller in other countries in the Soviet bloc. In the film, we can see WisÅ‚ocka in a few distant moments in her life: in her childhood, in wartimesr, during her medical studies, and eventually in the 1960s and 70s, when she struggles to revolutionize Polish sexology. She has spent years fighting both the conservative social customs, and the merciless censorship. The creators of the movie paint her as a brave, charismatic woman, who had to take on the patriarchal reality of Polish People's Republic for the benefit of her patients, and paid for her choices with her ruined private life.

A Fool There Was screening
2017-11-11 19:30 - 20:48 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen A Fool There Was (Frank Powell, U.S. 1915, 78 min., 35mm). The film will be "accompanied live by a new score for chamber ensemble by Philip C. Carli."
Theda Bara is probably the most famous American silent film star whose reputation is based on films that are irretrievably lost. Of the forty films she made between 1914 and 1919, only three survive, and of those only one displays her as her celebrated persona of a vamp—a woman who preys upon men and exploits their emotional and sexual frailties. That film is A Fool There Was, based on Porter Emerson Browne's 1909 hit play. It is Bara's first starring role, and the film's enormous success both built her fortune and secured the future for pioneer producer William Fox and the Fox Film Corporation.

Marcel Ophüls (The Memory of Justice) screening
2017-11-12 14:00 - 16:00 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Marcel Ophüls (The Memory of Justice, U.K. / U.S. / France / West Germany 1976, 278 min., DCP, French w/subtitles) as part of the Memory and Forgetting series.
"We must never forget that the record on which we judge these defendants today is the record on which history will judge us tomorrow." These words, spoken at the outset of the Nuremburg trials on November 21, 1945, by U.S. Chief of Counsel Robert H. Jackson, seem to animate Marcel Ophüls's stunning 1976 documentary The Memory of Justice. Though the film project was initially prompted by Ophüls's obtaining unprecedented access to fifty hours of raw footage of the trials, its scope ultimately expanded far beyond World War II and its immediate aftermath. As The Memory of Justice takes stock of the crimes committed by the Nazis, it also turns its attention to other atrocities, including the massacre at My Lai and the French torture prisons in Algiers. In gathering such events into the same historical montage, Ophüls never suggests an equivalence between these diverse phenomena. Instead, they provide a sobering backdrop for the film's larger investigation into the mechanics of violence, guilt, and justice in the twentieth century. Ophüls, an Oscar winner whose films (including The Sorrow and the Pity, HÃ´tel Terminus) are among the most highly acclaimed documentaries of all time, today claims The Memory of Justice as his greatest cinematic achievement.
