Looking for Frederick Douglass: Resources in Libraries, Museums, and Archives
2018-09-22 12:00 - 14:00 | George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
Frederick Douglass was a highly visible public figure, a popular orator, and a prolific writer and memoirist; he has also been called "the 19th century's most photographed American." Two hundred years after his birth, however, locating and bringing together dispersed documentary records of Douglass's life can be a challenge. While the circumstances of his life and legacy certainly play a role, this elusiveness may have as much to do with the variety of institutions that hold such materials and the differing standards and practices among libraries, museums, and archives. The Eastman Museum will host a conversation about these challenges. The panelists are Jessica Lacher-Feldman, assistant dean, Special Collections and Preservation, University of Rochester; Jennifer Morris, archivist, Anacostia Community Museum, Washington, Dc; and Heather Shannon, associate curator, Department of Photography, George Eastman Museum. Ken Fox, head of library and archives, Eastman Museum, will moderate. Join us as we set out to find Frederick Douglass.

He struggles with how to approach the topic until he decides to pass himself off as Jewish.

Americans United Informal Chat
2018-09-24 19:30 - 21:30 | Barnes and Noble, 3349 Monroe Ave., Pittsford, New York, 14618, United States
Some weeks ago, we had invited local members and friends of Americans United for Separation of Church and State to an informal chat session to discuss issues related to church-state separation. This event drew a small group and a lively and vigorous discussion ensued. The current situation regarding Supreme Court nominations has raised serious questions about the way in which Jefferson's "wall of separation"" is under threat,and we look forward to learning how local folks are seeing and reacting to this development. So, another such informal chat session has been scheduled for Monday September 24, 2018 at the Starbucks Coffee Shop at the Barnes and Nobles Bookstore in Pittsford Plaza and I am writing to invite you to join us there. Members of the Board of the Rochester Americans United Chapter are interested to hear what matters are of concern to our friends and neighbors, and to gather ideas for future Chapter programming.

Die Stadt ohne Juden (The City Without Jews) screening
2018-09-25 19:30 - 20:50 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Die Stadt ohne Juden (The City Without Jews, H. K. Breslauer, Austria 1924, 80 min., DCP) with live piano by Philip C. Carli as part of the Silent Tuesdays series.
Lost for more than ninety years, the original version of this title was found at a Parisian flea market in 2015. Meticulously restored by the Austrian Film Archive, and thanks to the largest crowdfunding campaign in Austria's history, the film can once again see the light of day. Based on the dystopian 1922 novel by Hugo Bettauer, the story contemplates a city that has identified its Jewish population as the root of its problems and expels them from its borders. Although the (non-Jewish) citizens are initially happy with this act, the city falters and the decision is reversed. Prophetic in its content and in its imagery, the film presaged nationalist anti-Semitism and made the argument that exclusion of a defined group of citizens weakens the community.

Rochester Street Films • RazedRise
2018-09-26 18:30 - 20:30 | Cinema Theatre, 957 S. Clinton Ave., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
Many urban neighborhoods throughout the U.S. were destroyed by the construction of new highways during the latter half of the twentieth century. In many cases, low income and minority neighborhoods were selected as locations for these new highways to pass through, with little consideration for the people who would have their homes destroyed and lives upended. We'll explore this and other dimensions of this historical era at our next Rochester Street Films event on September 26 at Cinema Theatre. The program will feature a mix of short films and clips about the battle to save Swillburg and other stories of neighborhoods wrecked and reclaimed. We'll also highlight current efforts to repair the damage done by Rochester's Inner Loop. The films will be followed by a live discussion with local leaders and experts.

Mature Mastery screening
2018-09-26 19:30 - 20:44 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Mature Mastery (Jiri Trnka, Czechoslovakia 1962—65, 74 min., DCP) as part of the Animation of Jiri Trnka series.
In the 1960s, at the height of his artistic output, Trnka turned to increasingly dark, surreal, satirical, and politically defiant subject matter. The result was a string of visually innovative, modernist masterpieces that encompass dystopian science fiction, religious parody, and, in his final crowning achievement, an impassioned protest against state censorship. This shorts program includes: Passion (1962), in which a boy's need for speed grows up along with him; Cybernetic Grandma (1962), a satire on automization; Archangel Gabriel and Mistress Goose (1964), a bawdy, medieval-set tale based on a story from The Decameron; and The Hand (1965), Trnka's final work about toiling under the restrictions of a totalitarian government.
