Road to Singapore, Road to Zanzibar screenings
2018-09-29 19:30 - 22:26 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Road to Singapore (Victor Schertzinger, U.S. 1940, 85 min., 35mm), and Road to Zanzibar (Victor Schertzinger, U.S. 1941, 91 min., 35mm) as part of the Reinventing Hollywood series.
Films of the 1940s were more reflexive and self-aware than ever before, and this was evident in no place greater than in the "Road to . . ." series of films. Bob Hope and Bing Crosby play accidental adventurers on travels to exotic locales primarily as an excuse to take swipes at other Hollywood dignitaries, sing, and look at beautiful women. In Singapore, Crosby is running from an unwanted marriage, and in Zanzibar, both are running from a burning circus. David Bordwell writes, "In the course of these farces, the pair relentlessly insisted that a movie was just a movie."

He struggles with how to approach the topic until he decides to pass himself off as Jewish. While very few people know about the ruse (the 1940s technique of "restricted knowledge"), Philip goes about his everyday life, including career and romance, while suffering prejudices and ultimately discovering that the issue is much larger than a magazine article.

2018-10-02 19:30 - 20:47 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The River Pirate (William K. Howard, U.S. 1928, 77 min., 35mm) as part of the Silent Tuesdays series.
At the advent of sound, Fox released films with the soundtrack printed onto the film using the "Movietone" system. The River Pirate, released with a music and sound effects soundtrack, stars Victor McLaglen as a convict who has been assigned to a reform school to teach the art of sailmaking as part of his sentence. His influence over Sandy (Nick Stuart), a waterfront urchin at the school, is evident—particularly when the convict is paroled and breaks Sandy out of the school to become a warehouse thief. Sandy is torn between his loyalty to the convict and his burgeoning love for Marjorie (Lois Moran), a detective's daughter who wants him to go straight.

H. M. Pulham, Esq. screening
2018-10-03 19:30 - 21:30 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen H. M. Pulham, Esq. (King Vidor, U.S. 1941, 120 min., 35mm) as part of the Reinventing Hollywood series.
In an extraordinary experiment in 1940s cinematic subjectivity, our hero, Harry Pulham (Robert Young) appears in every scene of the film, meaning that the audience only ever knows what Harry knows. Harry is prompted to re-examine his life's decisions after receiving two phone calls: one from his college chum who recruits him to write brief biographies of everyone for their 25-year Harvard reunion, and the second from the woman he met in New York City after the war (the "one who got away"; Hedy Lamarr). Taking place over two days and through myriad flashbacks, Vidor's film brings to life an early example of middle-aged angst.

The NCBI Controversial Issues Process provides a structured methodology that allows people on differing sides of an entrenched issue to express their concerns, to listen attentively to the other side and then to reframe the issue in a way that respectfully takes into account the concerns of both sides. Join us to explore the 6 essential skill sets that allow disputing parties to find common ground.
