The Wonders screening

The Little will screen The Wonders (Alice Rohrwacher, Italy / Switzerland / Germany 2014, 110 min.) as part of the O-some! An Oscilloscope Retrospective series.
Winner of the Grand Prix at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival and a standout at the New York Film Festival, young Italian filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher's (Corpo Celeste) entrancing, richly textured drama centers on a family of beekeepers living in stark isolation in the Tuscan countryside. The dynamic of their overcrowded household is disrupted by the simultaneous arrival of a silently troubled teenagedboy taken in as a farmhand and a reality TV show (featuring a host played by Monica Bellucci) intent on showcasing the family. Both intrusions are of particular interest to the eldest daughter, Gelsomina (Maria Alexandra Lungu), who is struggling to find her footing in the world, and Rohrwacher conveys her adolescent sense of wonder and confusion with graceful naturalism.

Two Trains Runnin' screening; Sam Pollard discussion
2018-02-13 19:00 - 20:20 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Two Trains Runnin' (Samuel D. Pollard, U.S. 2016, 80 min.) followed by a video chat with director Sam Pollard as part of the One Take Documentary Series.
Two Trains Runnin' is a feature-length documentary directed by Sam Pollard, narrated by Common, and featuring the music of Gary Clark Jr. The film pays tribute to a pioneering generation of musicians and cuts to the heart of our present moment, offering a crucial vantage from which to view the evolving dynamics of race in America. In 2017 the documentary was honored with a Grammy nomination for Best Music Film. In June of 1964 hundreds of college students, eager to join the civil rights movement, traveled to Mississippi, starting what would be known as Freedom Summer. That same month, two groups of young men—made up of musicians, college students and record collectors—also traveled to Mississippi. Though neither group was aware of the other, each had come on the same errand: to find an old blues singer and coax him out of retirement. Thirty years before, Son House (who had been in Rochester for years!) and Skip James had recorded some of the most memorable music of their era, but now they seemed lost to time. Finding them would not be easy. There were few clues to their whereabouts. It was not even known for certain if they were still alive. And Mississippi, that summer, was a tense and violent place. With hundreds on their way to teach in freedom schools and work on voter registration, the Ku Klux Klan and police force of many towns vowed that Freedom Summer would not succeed. Churches were bombed, shotguns blasted into cars and homes. It was easy to mistake the young men looking for Son House and Skip James as activists. Finally, on June 21, 1964, these two campaigns collided in memorable and tragic fashion. In telling this remarkable story, Two Trains Runnin' revisits an important moment when America's cultural and political institutions were dramatically transformed. The movie is all the more pointed and relevant today, in an era of renewed attention on police brutality and voting rights.

Iris, Color of Desire: Short Silent Films from the Collection screenings
2018-02-13 19:30 - 20:27 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Iris, Color of Desire: Short Silent Films from the Collection with live piano accompaniment by Philip C. Carli as part of the Silent Tuesdays series featuring:

La fée Printemps (Segundo, de Chomón and Ferdinand Zecca, France 1902, 3 min.)
The Roses (Etienne, Arnaud, France 1908, 3 min.)
Chrysanthemums (Segundo, de Chomón, France 1907, 3 min.)
The Kingdom of Flowers (Gaumont, France 1910, 3 min.)
Fleurs. "Bouquets dans des vases" (Gaumont, France 1912, 3 min.)
La rose bleue (Léonce, Perret, France 1911, 11 min.)
Printemps au Japon (Pathé, France 1916, 10 min.)
When Flowers Bloom (Castle, Films, U.S. 1929, 12 min.)
Kaleidoscope (Kodak, U.S. 1925, 9 min.)

In conjunction with the museum's annual Dutch Connection floral display, this program presents silent short films from the collection with flowers as a main motif. As a natural element of color, the flower has been a fruitful source of inspiration and a recurrent object of practice for the visual arts throughout history. From the painted still lifes of the mythic Zeuxis in Ancient Greece to the bouquets of Henri Matisse or Georgia O'Keeffe in modernity, flora has germinated the fields of graphic experimentation and color research. Likewise in photography and film, flowers have modeled color and the development of its technologies and aesthetics. These selected works—curated by Maddi Lopez de Arkaute, a recent graduate of the museum's L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation—present wide stylistic diversity, from hand- and stencil-applied techniques, to additive color processes like Chronochrome and subtractive systems like Kodachrome. Let yourself be seduced by our garden delights.

Notebook, Melodic Inversion, The Dead, Anticipation of the Night screenings
2018-02-15 19:30 - 20:39 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen: Notebook (Marie Menken, U.S. 1962, 10 min.), Melodic Inversion (Ian Hugo, U.S. 1958, 8 min.), The Dead (Stan Brakhage, U.S. 1960, 11 min.), and Anticipation of the Night (Stan Brakhage, U.S. 1958, 40 min.) with an introduction by Thomas Beard as part of the Metaphors on Vision series.
First published in 1963 by Jonas Mekas as a special issue of Film Culture, Stan Brakhage's Metaphors on Vision stands as the major theoretical statement by one of avant garde cinema's most influential figures, a treatise on mythopoeia and the nature of visual experience written in a style as idiosyncratic as his art. Long out of print, Metaphors on Vision has just been republished by Anthology Film Archives and Light Industry (edited by scholar P. Adams Sitney). To celebrate this definitive new edition, the Eastman Museum presents a program of films that combines a pair of rarely screened works that influenced Brakhage—Marie Menken's Notebook (1963) and Ian Hugo's Melodic Inversion (1958)— with two of his own films, the productions of which are discussed extensively in Metaphors—the pivotal Anticipation of the Night (1958) and The Dead (1960).

Adapted from a novel by Gustav Hasford, Stanley Kubrick's stunning war movie takes us from a nightmarish Marine training session on Parris Island to the hell of Vietnam. Another Kubrickian study of the perfect plan gone awry, the film focuses in its first half on the attempts of Drill Instructor Hartman (Lee Ermey) to make soldiers of his new recruits, including Privates Joker (Matthew Modine) and Pyle (Vincent D'Onofrio). The second half shows the totalitarian order of boot camp dissolving into complete chaos as the marines are deployed into a different kind of battle. Premiere screening of a brand-new 35mm print from the museum's collection!

Hypnotic Clambake musical performance
2018-02-16 21:30 - 23:30 | Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
Imagine a world without the accordion. Some of us would love that. Unfortunately, the band we would miss the most would be Rochester's "Hypnotic Clambake." Their music has been a welcome part of the Upstate, NY music scene since 1990 and continues to find appreciative audiences throughout New York State and beyond. Accordionist Maury Rosenberg, originally from Long Beach, NY has performed with Yo Yo Ma, Peter Yarrow and David Lindley. He has made Western and Upstate, NY his stomping grounds for some of his weird, yet entertaining musicial endeavors. Everything from polkas, tangos, zydeco and klezmer music mixed with a twist of lime and an original sound true only to the "Clambake" defines this band's unique sonic form.
