Histoire(s) du cinéma screening
2017-04-09 14:00 - 18:26 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Histoire(s) du cinéma (Jean-Luc Godard, France 1989—98, digital, 266 min., French w/subtitles) as part of the Holocaust: Affect and Absence series.
Jean-Luc Godard transformed the face of cinema with his prolific, influential, and revolutionary body of work (Breathless, Weekend, and Contempt, to name just a few). But Histoire(s) du cinéma is probably the towering achievement of a singular creative career spanning sixty years. Made over a decade, Histoire(s) du cinéma is an extraordinary look at the medium through the eyes of this unique filmmaker. Hugely ambitious in scope, the series covers a wide range of topics from the birth of cinema to Hollywood to Italian neorealism and beyond. A dazzling montage of sight and sound, Histoire(s) du cinéma features a diverse array of film extracts, the voices of—among others—Juliette Binoche and Alfred Hitchcock, and an eclectic music soundtrack ranging from Beethoven to Leonard Cohen. It ultimately boils down to a bitter indictment of the medium that has, according to Godard, betrayed its historical promise because it failed to confront the horror of the Holocaust by recording its images.

2017-04-10 13:30 - 15:08 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Brute Force (Jules Dassin, U.S. 1947, 98 min., 35mm) as part of the 12 Postcards from Prison series.
In this atmospheric film noir from the director of Rififi and The Naked City, Burt Lancaster plays tough-hearted Joe Collins, a prisoner locked up in a penitentiary under the watch of cruelly sadistic Captain Munsey (Hume Cronyn). Fed-up with Munsey's fascistic tactics, Collins plans the ultimate escape, putting both his and his fellow prisoners' lives at stake. Though its portrayal of violence may pale in comparison to films today, Brute Force maintains its position as one of the first honest and revealing portraits of prisoner hardships.

2017-04-10 17:00 - 20:08 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States

Sacred screening, discussion with Bill Baker
2017-04-11 19:00 - 20:27 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Sacred (Thomas Lennon, U.S. / Japan / France / Canada / Spain / India / Netherlands / Philippines / Russia / Poland / China / Israel / Egypt / Pakistan / Ukraine / Peru / Lebanon / Nepal / Kenya / Haiti / Saudi Arabia / Ethiopia / Myanmar / Madagascar / Sierra Leone / Botswana 2016, 87 min.) followed by a discussion with executive producer Bill Baker as part of the One Take Documentary Series.
Shot by more than 40 filmmaking teams around the world, the film immerses the viewer in the daily use of faith and spiritual practice. At a time when religious hatreds dominate the world's headlines, this film explores faith as primary human experience: how people turn to ritual and prayer to navigate the milestones and crises of private life. The film's director commissioned or sourced footage from top independent filmmakers from more than 25 countries — and a wide range of religious traditions — each team contributing a single scene. The film, sweeping in its global reach, yet intensely intimate, is a tour de force that unifies these scenes into a single work, told without narration, without experts and, for long stretches, without words at all.

James Hard: The Last Surviving Combat Civil War Veteran
2017-04-11 19:00 - 20:30 | Greece Public Library, 2 Vince Tofany Blvd., Greece, New York, 14612, United States
James Hard was the nation's last surviving Union Combat Veteran of the Civil War. Hard was a Rochester New York icon through the 1940s and early 50s. He was well over 100 years old and his picture was in the local papers just about every week. Back in the 1950s, everyone knew who James Hard was. Now only a few people past 70 can remember him. It's time to honor the old man once again.

Shock Corridor screening
2017-04-11 19:30 - 20:58 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Shock Corridor (Samuel Fuller, U.S. 1963, 88 min., 35mm) as part of the 12 Postcards from Prison series.
Johnny Barrett, a reporter obsessed with winning a Pulitzer Prize, goes undercover in a mental hospital in order to solve a murder, only to cross the line between sanity and madness. This is a film of literal and psychological interiors, a striking presentation of Fuller's storytelling. His combination of a bold use of footage shot for other films and a variety of rule-breaking visual effects (intense close-ups, shock cutting, inexplicable camera movements) made Shock Corridor one of the most audacious B-movies of the 1960s.
