It has since gone on to set the standard for escape flicks and become one of the classic war films of all time.

Rosas Danst Rosas screening
2017-03-28 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 Rosas Danst Rosas (Thierry De Mey, Belgium 1997, 57 min., digital, Dutch w/subtitles) as part of the Choreography for Camera series.
Thierry De Mey filmed Rosas danst Rosas in the former technical school of architect Henry Van de Velde in Leuven. The film version is much shorter than the show itself. In his film Thierry De Mey opts for a heavily 'inter-cut' version in which, apart from the cast of four dancers from 1995 and 1996, he also has all the other performers from the long history of the show dance along. He makes maximum use of the geometrical and spatial qualities of the Van de Veldes building. Incidentally, the building was thoroughly renovated straight after the film was made, making it one of the last testimonials to the original architecture.

Others often form their first impressions of us by what we drive. Cars thus become part of our identity, whether we choose so or not. Drive a rusty clunker, or arrive by bus, and… Whether to forego a car rarely seems a simple choice, but this decision we each make for ourselves drives where we can live, profound patterns of land use, and even who we are. Are each of us rochesterian or some other denizen-label? In Street Films, meet some who've faced this choice and see how they've coped. See how we cope. The big-screen debut of short films by Alex Freeman, Nate Butler, and Ericka Jones explores three perspectives on moving around rochester. See our comments for each preview. This series—produced in partnership with Floating Home Films—examines our current state and future possibilities for mobility. A panel discussion follows the films.

2017-03-29 19:30 - 21:08 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen One from the Heart (Francis Ford Coppola, U.S. 1981, 98 min., 35mm) as part of the Vittorio Storaro series.
In a stunning change of pace, Francis Ford Coppola followed his jungle epic Apocalypse Now with this charming, candy-colored love story, a Las Vegas-set fantasia shot entirely on the soundstages of Zoetrope Studios with songs by Tom Waits. A costly box-office disappointment, this visionary film is now considered to be one of the most influential post-modern works of its era, and an obvious precursor to films like Moulin Rouge!

Joe Fiedler Quintet musical performance
2017-03-30 20:00 - 22:00 | Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
Influenced by two older cousins who both played trumpet, trombonist/composer Joe Fiedler, born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pa, and based in NYC since 1993, desperately wanted to become a trumpet player himself, but was instead given a trombone by his fourth grade music teacher who saw Fiedler and the trombone as a good match. The young, shy musician accepted the "arranged marriage", and the fourth grade music teacher has since been proven prophetic. Fiedler and the trombone finding each other coincided with the young musician falling under the abiding influence of two albums from his father's collection, The Cannonball Adderley Sextet-Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, and Oscar Peterson's Night Train.
