Something Holy — Lucian Ban and Alex Harding musical performance
2018-04-21 20:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
Back in 2002, an album quietly sneaked out on the CIMP label. It was a duet session by Romanian pianist Lucian Ban and Detroit-based baritone sax/bass clarinet player Alex Harding called Somethin' Holy. It seemed like an unlikely combination (piano and baritone sax? a Detroiter and a Romanian?) but these two were on the same wavelength and the album that was released was a remarkable set of beautifully delineated duets, running the gamut from transcendent ballad playing to vibrant heated exchanges. The album took its cues from the music of Coltrane, Ellington (they included a lovely rendition of Ellington's "Fleurette Africaine"), Randy Weston, Hamiet Blueitt, all players who even at their earthiest moments can bring out a spiritual ambience. So the title was not sent the message that this was a special session and was indeed Somthin' Holy.

Vincent (Beatty), a war veteran, returns to his bleak Maryland hometown and takes a job as an occupational therapist at Poplar Lodge, a private mental institution for the wealthy. There, Vincent meets a young patient with schizophrenia, Lilith (Seberg), whose fragile beauty bewitches all those with whom she comes in contact—especially Stephen (Peter Fonda), a troubled young man. As Vincent is drawn even deeper into her private world, he, too, becomes captivated by Lilith and will lie, betray, and even destroy to keep her. Soon Vincent himself can no longer determine which of the two world—his or Lilith's—is the sane one.

Kurutta ippÃªji (A Page of Madness) screening
2018-04-24 19:30 - 20:29 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Kurutta ippÃªji (A Page of Madness, Teinosuke Kinugasa, Japan 1926, 59 min., 35mm, Japanese intertitles w/subtitles) with live piano accompaniment by Philip C. Carli as part of the After Bedlam, and Silent Tuesdays series.
A brilliant avant-garde exploration of the helplessness felt by an insane person's loved ones, this film tells of a man who works as a janitor in the insane asylum where his wife is a patient. Using a battery of expressionistic visual devices, Kinugasa shifts between lyric "sanity" and visual shock, building the story around the janitor's attempt to help his wife to escape—except she wants to remain in her 'home.' An undisputed masterpiece of Japanese cinema, this film was considered lost for many years until a single nitrate copy was discovered by the director in 1970, from which this print derives.

The Squeaky Wheel will host a screening of Level Five (Chris Marker, France 1997, 106 min.)
Laura, a French programmer, is tasked with creating a video game about the Battle of Okinawa. Using the internet to conduct her research she is led down a rabbit hole of philosophical debates, while she tries to make sense of her own history in relation to human history. Released when the internet was still in its infancy, Level Five (104min, 1997) offers a startlingly prophetic vision of the ability to archive and alter history, while probing the limitations of human memory. The film is a mesmerizing and utterly unique hybrid of documentary and science fiction.
