David Murray and El'Zabar Duo musical performance
2017-06-05 20:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
For over 15 years, Bop Shop Records has had a happy and productive relationship with Aacm master percussionist Kahil El'Zabar. Going back to 2000 when he first brought his main band, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, to the atrium at Village Gate, he has graced us with several versions of his various ensembles. Earlier in 2016, we presented an edition of the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble featuring trombonist Craig Harris and baritone saxophonist Hamiet Blueitt. Back in 2001, we presented the duo of El'Zabar and violinist Billy Bang. But perhaps our most well-attended concert was a duet set with saxophonist David Murray in 2000. And we are proud that it resulted in the album We Is: Live At The Bop Shop, released on Delmark Records to great acclaim.

Fellini Satyricon screening
2017-06-06 19:30 - 21:39 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Fellini Satyricon (Federico Fellini, Italy 1969, 129 min., 35mm; Italian w/subtitles) as part of the Period Dramas series.
Of all Fellini's films, this is perhaps his most quintessentially Fellini-esque, consistently serving up grotesque carnival excess and spectacle. Loosely adapted from Petronius's lurid Ancient Rome farrago, Fellini Satyricon freely follows the alternatingly bloody and randy adventures of the young poet Encolpius (Martin Potter), whose desperate infatuation with an androgynous piece of jailbait (Max Born) gets him in all kinds of trouble.

2017-06-07 19:30 - 21:22 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Il Decameron (The Decameron, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Italy/France/West Germany 1971, 112 min., 35mm, Italian w/subtitles) as part of the Period Dramas series.
After a series of difficult and challenging films, Pier Paolo Pasolini achieved worldwide success with this erotic and comedic adaptation of Boccaccio's 14th-century story collection. With its clever script, a haunting Ennio Morricone score, and beautifully filmed locations in Naples, Ravello, and Caserta, The Decameron is easily Pasolini's most accessible and charming film. It is the first part of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life, which also includes The Canterbury Tales (screening June 8) and Arabian Nights (June 10).

2017-06-08 19:30 - 21:22 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen I racconti di Canterbury (The Canterbury Tales, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Italy/France 1972, 112 min., 35mm) as part of the Period Dramas series.
Pasolini worked with darker hues here than in the rest of his Trilogy of Life to adapt Geoffrey Chaucer's ribald epic. Capturing meticulously re-created settings in southern England, Tonino Delli Colli's rich cinematography incorporates the visual aesthetics of the great painters Giotto di Bondone, Peter Bruegel, and Hieronymus Bosch. The Canterbury Tales is the second part of the Trilogy of Life, which also includes The Decameron (screening June 7) and Arabian Nights (June 10).

The Dryden will screen Le fils de Joseph (The Son of Joseph, EugÃ¨ne Green, France/Belgium 2016, 115 min., 35m, French w/subtitles).
EugÃ¨ne Green's latest movie, The Son of Joseph, is perhaps his most buoyant.

The Little will screen Purple Rain (Albert Magnoli, U.S. 1994, 111 min.)
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to give to this thing called Purple Rain. Released in 1984, Albert Magnoli's pseudo-biopic introduced audiences to the Minneapolis music scene and the royal subject who presided over it. Prince burst upon the screen riding a motorcycle and a purple-tinted wave of popularity. He came to play his music loud, scream his lyrics and seduce with impunity. In Purple Rain, Prince plays "The Kid", an angry Minneapolis musician on the rise with his band, the Revolution, escaping a tumultuous home life through music. While trying to avoid making the same mistakes as his truculent father, the Kid navigates the club scene and a rocky relationship with a captivating singer. But another musician, (Morris Day), looks to steal the Kid's spotlight — and his girl.

Adapting the ancient Arabic collection of stories One Thousand and One Nights, Pasolini creates an exotic, dreamlike utopia of sexual delights and endless possibilities.
