Riot screening
2019-04-04 18:30 - 20:15 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Riot (Jeffrey Walker, Australia 2018, 105 min.) in conjunction with the Human Rights Campaign of Western NY and ImageOut.
As many people know, the modern gay pride parade has its roots in protest marches of the 1970s. Throughout the 70s, the queer community in cities around the world would hold solidarity marches to mark the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. These marches only started becoming festive events after the community in Sydney, Australia decided to turn their march into a "Gay Mardi Gras" in 1978. But what most people don't know is the incredible price this first group of revelers would have to pay. Riot is their story.
An inspiring story of courage in the face of oppression, Riot is so much more than just a queer history lesson. It perfectly mixes real-life events and the people who actually experienced them with tender personal moments and large-scale political movements to tell a rich, full story. Often enraging but always engaging, it will both make you angry and fill you with hope. Riot is an emotional call to action that everyone in our community needs to see.

The Mark of Zorro screening
2019-04-04 19:30 - 21:17 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Mark of Zorro (Fred Niblo, U.S. 1920, 107 min., 35mm) with live piano by Philip C. Carli as part of the United Artists Centennial series.
Douglas Fairbanks, the screen's first action superstar, stars as Don Diego Vega—aka Zorro—the witty, sword-wielding masked champion of the oppressed in old Spanish California. This first screen adaptation finds Vega returning from Spain, only to bristle at the tactics of the tyrannical Governor Alvarado. As Zorro, Vega steals from the rich and gives to the poor, while winning the heart of his oblivious fiancée. The enormous success of Zorro paved the way for a series of more smash hit swashbucklers starring Fairbanks, like Robin Hood, The Thief of Baghdad, and The Black Pirate.

Following a scooter accident, Angelino starts experiencing migraines and strange hallucinations, as well as rage-inspired superpowers, as he slowly awakens to the truth of his origins: he is half-human and half-Macho, a supernatural alien race bent on taking over the planet.

City Lights screening
2019-04-06 19:30 - 20:57 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen City Lights (Charles Chaplin, U.S. 1931, 87 min., 35mm) as part of the United Artists Centennial, Silent Film series.
Charlie Chaplin adamantly refused to change with the times as Hollywood moved toward sound—and in so doing, produced one of his most beloved masterpieces. Here, the Little Tramp falls in love with a blind flower girl, convinces her that he is a handsome millionaire, and provides her with the funds for a sight-restoring operation. Side-splittingly funny yet deeply poignant, Chaplin's supreme achievement is routinely selected as one of the ten greatest films of all time. In telling his "comedy romance in pantomime," its creator audaciously flew in the face of the sound era by not including a single word of spoken dialogue.
