The iconic Broadway musical is translated beautifully to film, breathing fresh life into the songs, dances, and story of tradition, love, and perseverance. Jewish peasant Tevye (Topol) is torn between tradition and love when his three oldest daughters defy the matchmaker and choose their own husbands—all while the family contends with growing anti-Semitism in the community surrounding their Ukrainian shtetl. We will screen director Norman Jewison's own print, on deposit at the Eastman Museum.

Barry Altschul and 3dom Factor musical performance (2018-Nov-26 @ 8 p.m.)
2018-11-26 20:00 - 22:00 | Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
Born in the south Bronx on the 6th of January 1943, drummer-composer Barry Altschul was quickly ensconced in the hard bop scene of the late 50ies and 60ies. But it was a gig with pianist Paul Bley's trio that put him amongst the ranks in the New York's burgeoning free jazz scene of the next decade. This resulted in world tours and recordings with such notables as Steve Swallow, Gary Peacock, the Jazz Composers' Guild Orchestra, Steve Lacy, Roswell Rudd, and many others. At the end of the 60ies he played in the Cooperative Band Circle with Chick Corea, Anthony Braxton and Dave Holland as well as with the Sam Rivers Trio with Dave Holland and with the Anthony Braxton quartet with Holland, Georges Lewis or Kenny Wheeler. His familiarity with the tradition also landed him work with the likes of Hampton Hawes, Sonny Criss, Lee Konitz, Art Pepper, Kenny Drew, Tony Scott, Johnny Griffin, Babs Gonzalez, and many others. In addition to this, he led his own free bop groups, with such luminaries as Muhal, Richard Abrams, Anthony Davis, Ray Anderson, Mark Helias, Santi Di Briano, and Uri Caine, to name a few. During a 10-year sojourn in Paris, France he was chosen to be the first foreign artistic director of the French regional big band of Nancy where he conducted as well as composed music for a 20-piece orchestra with arrangements written by his friend, the great Colderage Taylor Perkinson. During that time, he also toured Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe as a cultural ambassador for the Usis. Returning to the U.S. in 1993, he worked as a professor at Sarah Lawrence College, freelanced around New York, and played with a Dave Douglas project where he renewed his relationship with Roswell Rudd. Today, as well as performing with Roswell Rudd's Trombone Tribe, he is also part of the F.A.B. Trio (Joe Fonda, Barry Altschul and Billy Bang), the Swell-Ullman band and of many projects under his own leadership.

Racial Equity Learning Series: Re-framing the Written and Unwritten Rules of History, Policy, and Law—Part D-E
2018-11-27 11:50 - 12:50 | University of Rochester River Campus, Intercampus Dr. & Library Rd., Rochester, New York, 14611, United States
The UofR will host a Racial Equity Learning Series lecture titled Re-framing the Written and Unwritten Rules of History, Policy, and Law—Part D-E with Yvette Conyers, and Rebecca Tucker in Helen Wood Hall's Craytor and McNerney Classroom 1W-509.
Belief systems, which inform policy and law, can contribute to and perpetuate injustice. This injustice rests on unconscious and conscious beliefs about who matters in society and who does not. In order to make right what is inherently wrong, collective action is required. This learning module is based on the work of the Applied Research Center, a thirty-year-old racial justice think tank that uses media, research and activism to promote solutions. This module provides examples of how injustice is perpetuated through the media and court systems. By working with art, film clips and other activities participants will learn the importance of framing an issue with a racial equity lens and practice it.

Captain James "Mac" McQuigg is a straitlaced police officer keeping the peace on the streets of New York during Prohibition. Nick Scarsi is a major mob boss and bootlegger with a casual attitude toward violence and quick trigger finger. Mac arrests Scarsi and his men multiple times, but he can never get the charges to stick because the politicians are in the pocket of the gangsters. Still, Mac becomes enough of a nuisance that Nick gets him transferred to a district in "the sticks," where he can't do any more harm. But when Nick's little brother gets into a hit-and-run accident in Mac's precinct, conflict can't be avoided.

The House That Jack Built screening
2018-11-28 18:00 - 20:35 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen The House That Jack Built (Lars von Trier, Denmark / France / Germany / Sweden 2018, 155 min.)
USA in the 1970s. We follow Jack (Matt Dillon) through five incidents and are introduced to the murders that define Jack's development as a serial killer. We experience the story from Jack's point of view. He views each murder as an artwork in itself, even though his dysfunction gives him problems in the outside world. Despite the fact that the final and inevitable police intervention is drawing ever near (which both provokes and puts pressure on Jack) he is — contrary to all logic — set on taking greater and greater chances. The goal is the ultimate artwork: A collection of all his killings manifested in a House that he builds. Along the way we experience Jack's descriptions of his personal condition, problems and thoughts through a recurring conversation with the unknown Verge — a grotesque mixture of sophistry mixed with an almost childlike self-pity and in-depth explanations of, for Jack, dangerous and difficult manoeuvres.

Emergency Ward, The Young Fighter, Dancing James Berry screenings
2018-11-28 19:30 - 20:32 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Emergency Ward (Fons Iannelli, Leo Hurwitz, U.S. 1952, 16 min., 16mm), The Young Fighter, (Leo Hurwitz, U.S. 1953, 29 min., 16mm), and Dancing James Berry, (Leo Hurwitz, U.S. 1954, 17 min., 16mm) as part of the Leo Hurwitz series.
Life magazine photographer Fons Iannelli developed a prototype portable, sync-sound film camera and recorder to make documentaries that would have the same kind of immediacy as the best photojournalism. He collaborated with Leo Hurwitz in filming Emergency Ward in Manhattan's St. Vincent Hospital to create what would be the antecedent of the direct cinema (or cinema verité) movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The film was shown to Omnibus TV producer Robert Saudek, who hired Hurwitz (using Iannelli as his front) to make three films for the series, of which The Young Fighter was the first. Considered the first cinema verité film, it depicts the life of an aspiring boxer trying to balance his responsibilities to his family and his sport. Dancer James Berry (1915—1969) was part of a vaudeville act with his brothers and the subject of the first (and best known) of several films Hurwitz directed about dance. Dancing James Berry played in cinematheques, museums, and universities around the world to rave reviews.

Jeffrey Lewis and Los Bolts is the latest incarnation of cult indie-rocker/songwriter Jeffrey Lewis. Called "bizarre but brilliant" by Uncut and "weird but also downright inspiring" by Rolling Stone, Jeffrey began recording homemade cassettes at home in New York City in 1998. In 2001 he was spotted by Rough Trade Records (label of the Smiths, the Strokes, Belle and Sebastian, etc.) who have since released seven Jeffrey Lewis albums, alongside Jeffrey's self-releases and side-projects (on labels like Don Giovanni and K Records). Lewis and his bandmates have toured regularly for years, performing an idiosyncratic blend of garage rock and contemplative folk, developing a devoted following from Los Angeles to London, Melbourne to Moscow, Chicago to Shanghai and beyond, a career that has also sometimes included sharing bills and tours with The Vaselines, The Fall, Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks, Roky Erickson, The Mountain Goats, Daniel Johnston, Pulp and other luminaries. Jeffrey is also a comic book writer/artist and includes his own illustrations and projections in concert to accompany certain songs (like "The History of Communism" or "The Creeping Brain"). Jeffrey Lewis and Los Bolts currently features Mem (Cat Tatt, Fem Doms) Pahl on bass and Brent (Dufus, Moldy Peaches) Cole on drums. Jeffrey has self-published twelve issues of his comic book series Fuff, and Jeffrey's writing, illustrations, comic books and music have been featured by NPR, The History Channel, The New York Times and other media outlets great and small.

Privilege: Part I: Taking out the Sting, Taking in the Reality, Part II: Facing it, Framing It, Flipping It
2018-11-29 09:00 - 16:00 | Starbridge, Inc., 1650 South Ave., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
Privilege and entitlement are trigger words, especially for white people on matters of race. Privilege may be invisible to the privileged; it is never invisible to those without it. This workshop explores how privilege shapes our sense of self and our interactions with others. Part II: Facing it, Framing It, Flipping It: Once we understand how privilege shapes our lives in multiple ways, we can become allies with individuals and groups targeted by racism. The success of our community is a shared responsibility. We have more power than we realize to make that happen.

2018-11-29 19:00 - 20:34 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Non c'Ã¨ piÃ¹ religione (Messy Christmas, Luca Miniero, Italy 2016, 94 min.) as part of the Italian Film Series.
From the director of Welcome to the South and Welcome to the North, comes the hilarious new comedy Messy Christmas. Set on the small island of Porto Buio, the traditional live Christmas Nativity scene might not go ahead because the baby who's always played Jesus has grown up and no new babies have been born on the island in years! With this fundamental tradition on the line, newly elected Mayor Cecco (Claudio Bisio, What a Beautiful Surprise) wants to ask the local Tunisian community to "borrow" one of their children, but there's conflict between the two communities. Cecco enlists the help of local Islam convert Bilal (Alessandro Gassman, God Willing) to cross the cultural divide… but both communities are not sure what to make of a baby Jesus that may need his nationality, and even his religion changed! In order to overcome their differences, the two communities prepare a nativity scene unlike any you've seen before in this entertaining boxoffice hit.

What part does art play in the representation of national identity in politics and tourism?
