Trick screening
2019-10-15 20:30 - 21:59 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Trick (Jim Fall, U.S. 1999, 89 min., 35mm) followed by a Discussion with director Jim Fall as part of the ImageOut of the Archives series.
Trick is truly a boy-meets-go-go-boy Manhattan fairy tale, but real life intrudes when its would-be lovers have nowhere to do the deed. Christian Campbell plays Gabriel, a shy aspiring musical-theatre writer who takes a chance on John Paul Pitoc's hunky dancer, Mark. As they hunt for hookup sanctuary, they stumble into piano bars and dance clubs and encounter various relationships as they wander the streets of New York City. Could a potential one-night stand lead to something more? In today's Grindr-dominated world, the film might have been more cynical or its characters more jaded. Instead, Jim Fall's breezy direction invites you to enjoy every step of Gabriel and Mark's journey while convincing you that these two guys might actually make it after the credits roll. Trick may start with hormones, but it leaves you with a full heart. To celebrate the film's twentieth anniversary this year, we are proud to bring Trick back to Rochester as our ImageOut of the Archives selection.

Lecture: Sovereignty, Photography, and Queen Victoria
2019-10-16 17:30 - 18:30 | Rush Rhees Library at the University of Rochester, 755 Library Rd., Rochester, New York, 14627, United States
Announced only two years into Queen Victoria's reign, the invention of photography heralded a new form of representation, one that spoke equally on behalf of the powerful and among the populace. Like many world leaders of the time, Victoria willingly submitted so many elements of her personal and political life to the camera, shaping the way her subjects perceived her at home and abroad in the growing Empire. What does it mean when such power embraced this new visual technology, whose effects quickly spurred novel confrontations in culture between art and enterprise, tradition and modernity, sovereign power and democratic practice?
This lecture explores the art and politics behind the monarch's embrace of photography in her many portrayals before the lens, as well as in her patronage together with Prince Albert of photographic artists like Roger Fenton and Julia Margaret Cameron. Jacob W. Lewis teaches nineteenth-century art and the history of photography as Visiting Assistant Professor in Art and Art History. He is currently editing an anthology of essays on the topic of photography's ubiquity for Leuven University Press, as well as writing a text on genre photography in France during the 1850s.

Love Me or Leave Me screening
2019-10-16 19:30 - 21:32 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Love Me or Leave Me (Charles Vidor, U.S. 1955, 122 min., 35mm) as part of the In Memoriam: Doris Day series.
Jazz singer Ruth Etting is brought gloriously to life by Doris Day in this biopic. The film follows her career—rising from 1920s taxi dancer to movie star—and troubled marriage to her mobster husband (James Cagney). Etting was a nightclub singer with looks and a great voice, but it took Chicago mobster Marty "The Gimp" Snyder to make her a star in Hollywood and on Broadway. Simultaneously aided and frustrated by her husband's headstrong ways and pressure tactics, Etting in her offstage life becomes haunted by fear and violence at the hands of the cruel gangster. Love Me or Leave Me succeeds as both crime drama and musical—the latter greatly enhanced by Day's vocal talent in the film's twelve complete musical numbers.

The Langenheim Brothers at Niagara Falls: Photographic Fusions and the Mass Marketing of Photography lecture
2019-10-17 12:30 - 13:30 | Carlson Auditorium at RIT, 76 Lomb Memorial Dr, Rochester, New York, 14623, United States
Much of the credit or blame for developing mass-marketable forms of photographs in the United States should go to the Langenheim brothers, Frederick and William, of Philadelphia. Between 1845 and 1860 they introduced a string of innovations that resulted in landscape stereographs becoming the first variety of photographs to achieve mass distribution. The story of that accomplishment constitutes an important chapter in the development of a mass market in the U. S. for pictures in the broadest sense.

Spirits of the Past Theatrical Tours (2019-Oct-17 @ 5 p.m.)
2019-10-17 17:00 - 21:00 | New York
This year's theme is vampires. The village is overrun with vampires of all types and from every corner of the world. Each scene depicts a different folklore story or a dramatic retelling of a real event! Vampire hunts, the dark arts, an insane asylum and more await you at this year's Spirits of the Past!
This special evening program is different from a typical visit to the museum. Using the Historic Village as its canvas, costumed tour guides will lead guests by candlelight through the darker recesses of the village. You'll experience original tales adapted from historical accounts and folklore, and re-discover eerie literary classics that held Western New York in suspense some 150 years ago. This year the Museum is overrun with vampires of all types as depicted in eight theatrical vignettes.

Wes Urbaniak and the Mountain Folk musical performance
2019-10-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Boulder Coffee, South Wedge, 100 Alexander St., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
Wes Urbaniak and the Mountain Folk are an amphipathic resin that stabilizes the emulsion created from genre mixing. That's a mouthful, right? One part fairytale and two parts science – this mixture defines the band both in songwriting as well as in presentation. The songs twist and contort themselves around conscious themes and common experiences of the most lived-in journey in a way best described as: a new way to say the same thing. Even the instruments Urbaniak builds do this.

The Dryden will screen Stephen King's Dollar Babies, Program 1 featuring:

Harvey's Dream (Jainardhan Sathyan, U.S. 2016, 10 min.)

Rest Stop (Paul Mortsolf, U.S. 2019, 14 min.)

A Very Tight Place (Stephen Tramontana, U.S. 2019, 21 min.)

"After the program, directors Walter Perez and Stephen Tramontana will take the stage for a Q&A about their films."
Unnerving, disturbing tales are Stephen King's specialty, as evidenced by these six films adapted from his short stories (see October 31 for a second program of Dollar Babies). An aging husband's neurological decline may or may not reveal and unthinkable tragedy; a maid visits a priestess, who has some unusual advice about her unborn son and the author staying at her hotel; an author must decide how much he relates to the characters he's created; a snowy crash in Jerusalem's Lot causes trouble for a couple of nearby townsfolk; a young couple ignores warnings to leave their summer cottage; and a man's plan for revenge hits a roadblock when he's locked in a portable toilet.

It's got a high-note string on one side and a bass string on another. It also has mini drum pads hooked into his sequencer for various effects. His music is a beat-charged experimental extravaganza. I decided that there must be dozens of reasons to see a show:

like to see Dr. Seuss creations brought to life (according to him, "apocalyptic Seuss.")
love duct tape
want to see how to do the one-man-band thing right
you've got a thing for the user interfaces on Kai's Power Tools and want to see it built in real-life
love of the Rube Goldberg machine
like the look of plumbing in a demolished building
like to say, "I saw That 1 Guy and his magic pipe."

2019-10-18 19:30 - 22:36 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen L'albero degli zoccoli (The Tree of Wooden Clogs, Ermanno Olmi, Italy 1978, 186 min., DCP, Italian w/subtitles) as part of the Labor Film Series.
Ermanno Olmi, who died last year at age 86, was one of Italy's most prolific directors but underappreciated in the United States. This film reflects his deep understanding of the rhythms of life and labor of northern Italy's peasants and his commitment to them. Winner of the Palme d'Or in 1978, the film depicts the seasonal cycle of work on a small farm in late nineteenth-century Lombardy, capturing in rich detail the social structure and events that shape the characters, movingly portrayed by non-actors.
