Maya Rook is a historian, artist, and writer living in Rochester, who will explore how Thanksgiving was established as a national holiday: Every year, Americans gather around a feast of turkey called Thanksgiving, but how reflective is this meal of the "First Thanksgiving" of 1621? Did the newly arrived Pilgrims really gather in harmony with the local Wampanoag tribe? What exactly did they eat? In this talk we will dive into the foodways of the Wampanoag people and Puritan settlers of seventeenth-century New England and investigate the myths and realities of this meal.

Carli as part of the Silent Tuesdays series.
Ozu, like many in the Japanese film industry, was slow to move to sound films and continued to make silent films into 1936. This bittersweet melodrama follows Kihachi, a brewery worker who happens upon a destitute young woman one night and gives her a place to sleep. He finds her a job and starts to take better care of himself, hoping she will notice, but she thinks of him as little more than a kind uncle. As Kihachi's son becomes jealous, a situation arises that will put this precarious situation in jeopardy. This film will be preceded by an Ozu short that has just been rediscovered and made its world premiere at the Giornate del Cinema Muto in Pordenone, Italy.

Here at the Water's Edge, An Essay on Death: A Memorial to John F. Kennedy screenings
2018-12-05 19:30 - 21:46 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Here at the Water's Edge (Leo Hurwitz and Charles Pratt, U.S. 1961, 60 min., 16mm), and An Essay on Death: A Memorial to John F. Kennedy (Leo Hurwitz, U.S. 1964, 76 min., 16mm) as part of the Leo Hurwitz series.
Hurwitz's visual poem of the sights and sounds of New York Harbor in the late 1950s, Here at the Water's Edge is a time capsule of when Manhattan's waterways were vibrant and bustling. Critic Prairie Miller called it "the most haunting film I have ever seen. The film's poetry is utter visual—such wonder at the ordinary, such mastery of the natural." National Educational Television (NET), the precursor to PBS, sought to make a memorial to the late President John F. Kennedy for the first anniversary of his assassination. Rather than replaying the events of the year before, NET producer Brice Edwards asked Hurwitz to make a program exploring death itself. The film was the first public recognition of Hurwitz's work on television since his blacklisting, and it led to other documentaries for NET later in the decade.
