Sunday in the Country (aka Vengeance Is Mine) screening
2017-02-19 14:00 - 15:33 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Sunday in the Country (aka Vengeance Is Mine) (John Trent, Canada / U.K. 1974, 93 min., 35mm) as part of the Ernest Borgnine series.
Like Last House on the Left before it, this tight, brutal slab of Canadian exploitation (or "Canuxploitation," as fans would have it) is as much a critique of homespun bloodthirst as it is a surprisingly effective example of savage '70s cinema. Ernest Borgnine stars as a pious farmer who stands his ground to horrifying effect when a trio of wanted killers (including Bonnie and Clyde's Michael J. Pollard) show up on his doorstep. Grandpa claims to be protecting his granddaughter, but the film dares to suggest that violence may be something deep in the national grain. Little surprise, then, that Canadian critics faulted the film for being "too American."

Kahil El'Zabar's Ethnic Heritage Ensemble has been one of the flagship ensembles of the AACM since the mid-1970s, when the band emerged from the Chicago creative music organization. Since 2000, when Kahil El'Zabar first brought his trio into the Bop Shop, we have been treated to various editions of the band. That first time, the EHE featured reedman Ernest Khabeer Dawkins and trombonist Joseph Bowie. Over the years the personnel has morphed but the trio has always had interesting permutations including the addition of young, dynamic trumpeter Corey Wilkes. In the spring of 2016, he brought an unusual variation into the Lovin' Cup with trombonist Craig Harris and baritone sax master Hamiet Blueitt. El'Zabar has also appeared at the Bop Shop in duet and trio formats with violinist Billy Bang and saxophonist David Murray.

RainForest, Channels/Inserts screenings
2017-02-21 19:30 - 20:22 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen RainForest (D. A. Pennebaker, Richard Leacock, U.S. 1968, 20 min., digital), and Channels/Inserts (Charles Atlas, U.S. 1982, 32 min., digital) as part of the Choreography for Camera series.
Leacock and Pennebaker filmed choreographer Merce Cunningham's dance "Rainforest" as part of the 1968 Buffalo Arts Festival's program of experimental art, music, dance, poetry and theatre called "Whose Afraid of the Avant-Garde." The dance composition also featured music by David Tudor, costumes by Jasper Johns, and sets by Andy Warhol. To create Channels/Inserts, Cunningham and Atlas divided the Cunningham Dance Company's Westbeth studio into sixteen possible areas for dancing and used chance methods based on the I Ching to determine the order in which these spaces would be used, the number of dancers to be seen, and the events that would occur in each space. Atlas employed cross-cutting and animated mattes or wipes to indicate a simultaneity of dance events occurring in different spaces, as well as to allow for diversity in the continuity of the image.
