The Dryden will screen The Affairs of Cellini (Gregory La Cava, U.S. 1934, 86 min., 16mm).
In this four-handed romantic comedy, the duke and duchess de Medici (Frank Morgan and Constance Bennett) are bored with each other and looking for other amusements. The duchess has her eye on the goldsmith Cellini (Fredric March), while the duke fancies Cellini's model Angela (Fay Wray). Trying to avoid a death sentence for murder and his other amorous adventures, Cellini attempts to navigate the machinations of the Italian royalty and bring about a happy end for everyone. This title was personally chosen for this series by Victoria Riskin, author of Fay Wray and Robert Riskin: A Hollywood Memoir (2019) and daughter of Wray and Riskin.

Chasing The Moon screening
2019-07-01 18:30 - 19:15 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Chasing The Moon (Robert Stone, U.S. 2019, 45 min.) followed by a Panel Discussion including Arthur Cosgrove.
Chasing the Moon, a film by Robert Stone, reimagines the race to the moon for a new generation, upending much of the conventional mythology surrounding the effort. The series recasts the Space Age as a fascinating stew of scientific innovation, political calculation, media spectacle, visionary impulses and personal drama.

2019-07-01 21:00 - 23:00 | Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave, Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
Pale Blue Dot Band is the brainchild of Charlottesville, Virginia native Tony Larocco, who has assembled a group of musicians committed to exploring the possibilities presented by his songwriting. Left turns abound in the band's approach to arranging, which invokes the members' influences, ranging from progressive rock to folk to bebop jazz. Pale Blue Dot is an emergent entity founded on robust, educated, and communicative musicianship. But first and foremost, the ensemble is steadfast in its focus on the power of Larocco's songwriting.

2019-07-03 19:30 - 21:33 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Der Dibuk (Michal Waszynski, Poland 1937, 123 min., DCP, Yiddish w/subtitles) as part of the Rochester Jewish Film Festival Preview series.
This Yiddish film classic is based on the celebrated play of the same name by S. Ansky. The idea for the play came to Ansky as traveled through small towns of Eastern Europe leading a Jewish folklore expedition (cut short by the outbreak of World War I). In Der Dibuk, boundaries separating the natural from the supernatural dissolve as ill-fated pledges, unfulfilled passions, and untimely deaths ensnare two families in a tragic labyrinth of spiritual possession. Made on location in Poland in 1937, the film brought together the best talents of Polish Jewry: script writers, composers, choreographers, set designers, actors, and historical advisors. The exquisite musical and dance interludes evoke the cultural richness of shtetls on the eve of World War II.

2019-07-04 19:30 - 21:55 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Born on the Fourth of July (Oliver Stone, U.S. 1989, 145 min., 35mm) as part of the Fourth of July series.
Based on the autobiography of soldier turned activist Ron Kovic, this film garnered Tom Cruise his first Academy Award nomination. Brought up in a typically patriotic household, Kovic (Cruise) heeds the call for young men to volunteer for the U.S. Marine Corps. In his second tour of duty in the Vietnam War, Kovic is wounded, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Depressed and distraught through military hospitals and his altered home life, Kovic tries to find solace among other disillusioned soldiers. Oliver Stone's bombastic style is leavened by the beauty of the imagery captured by Robert Richardson in this middle chapter of Stone's Vietnam Trilogy.

American Graffiti screening
2019-07-05 19:30 - 21:20 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen American Graffiti (George Lucas, U.S. 1973, 110 min., 35mm) as part of the Fourth of July series.
As influential for launching so many careers as it was for inspiring a new subgenre of nostalgic film and television, George Lucas's first commercial feature was turned down by four studios before finding a home at Universal. A soundtrack of more than forty vintage songs accompany Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Harrison Ford, Cindy Williams, Mackenzie Phillips, Charles Martin Smith, Candy Clark, and Paul Lemat as they cruise around 1962 Modesto, California, post—high school and pre—real life. Balancing the tragic and the comic—and decidedly differentiating his film from the exploitative "teens and cars" movies of the 1950s and '60s—Lucas pulled from his own experiences to craft a moving portrait of the transition to adulthood.

Food Insecurity and Food Deserts in Rochester
2019-07-06 18:30 - 19:30 | Abundance Cooperative Market (formerly Echo Tone Music), 571 South Ave., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
At least since the "War on Poverty," politicians have gone back and forth between saying that the answer is, on the one hand, more aid, such as that offered by publicly and privately funded food programs, or on the other hand, that aid should be cut off such that those in need do not become reliant on it.
However, as "food insecurity" and the proliferation of "food deserts" have become common place, those who are intent on truly solving the problems facing poor and working people in the U.S. and around the world, must begin to look beyond symptoms to root causes.
Eastern Service Workers Association's (ESWA) organizers and members will present their analysis of the causes of poverty, hunger and inequality in Rochester as well as throughout the Nation and will discuss their strategy of uniting the region's lowest-paid workers in organizing and running mutual aid programs while building an independent voice with which to fight for permanent solutions to poverty by holding government agencies accountable to the interests of the most vulnerable in our communities.

2019-07-06 19:30 - 22:24 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen America, America (Elia Kazan, U.S. 1963, 174 min., 35mm) as part of the Fourth of July series.
Elia Kazan gives cinema perhaps its most poignant portrait of the immigrant experience in this epic adaptation of his own book inspired by his uncle's trying journey from Turkey to the United States. Kazan's use of non-actors and Haskell Wexler's cinematography coalesce in a Neorealist flavor that captures the essence of the migration experience. The confluence of Kazan's classic mastery with Wexler's cutting-edge vision results in a synthesis neither too maudlin nor abstract, but a genuinely moving experience.

2019-07-07 13:00 - 14:26 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Amos Oz: The Nature of Dreams (Yonathan and Masha Zur, Israel 2009, 86 min., English, Hebrew w/ subtitles) as part of the Rochester Jewish Film Festival.
Amos Oz, who died in December 2018, was a bestselling Israeli writer, intellectual, and peace advocate. This gorgeous documentary covers a two-year period in Oz's life during an international book tour for his wildly successful memoir, A Tale of Love and Darkness, published in 2005. The film takes viewers on a journey from pre-war Europe to the State of Israel's beginnings to a peace demonstration where Oz delivers a profoundly moving, historic speech on the choices facing Israel. We see Oz, the veteran Peace Now activist walking in Jerusalem with Palestinian writer Sari Nusseibeh, visiting the cafes, bus stops and beaches of Tel Aviv, all the while asking whether reconciliation is possible.

2019-07-07 15:30 - 16:48 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Chasing Portraits (Elizabeth Rynecki, USA, Canada, Israel, Poland 2018, 78 min., English, Polish w/ subtitles) followed by a video discussion with Elizabeth Rynecki as part of the Rochester Jewish Film Festival.
Before he died in the Holocaust, Polish artist Moshe Rynecki created close to eight hundred paintings and sculptures detailing the everyday lives of his Polish- Jewish community. When Poland was invaded by the Nazis, he left his works with friends for safekeeping. Yet after the war, his family found only a small number of them; the rest had been scattered around the world. Decades later, his great-granddaughter Elizabeth enlists the help of historians, curators, and art collectors to try to recover his extraordinary legacy. Written and directed by Elizabeth herself, spanning three decades of her life and three generations of her family, Chasing Portraits is a deeply moving documentary about the triumph of art over war and loss.
