Firefighters Under Occupation screening
2019-10-20 14:30 - 15:40 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Firefighters Under Occupation (Ciaran Gibbons, Palestine / Israel 2017, 70 min.) followed by a discussion with filmmaker Ciaran Gibbons, and film subject Jim Malone as part of the Witness Palestine series.
In 2015, Welsh filmmaker and firefighter Ciaran Gibbons traveled to Palestine and discussed the challenges of fighting fires in Nablus, Ramallah, Hebron, and Jerusalem. His film documents the lives and work of the Palestinian firefighters who work in the occupied West Bank. An inherently dangerous job in any country, those tasked with firefighting in Palestine face two challenges: fire and the Israeli Occupation Forces.
This film documents humanitarian support given to Palestinian firefighters by The Fire Brigade Union of the U.K. as well as facilitation of training in Scotland. It presents the upsurge of violence in the country through interviews and meetings with Palestinian firefighters and their families, and offers their perspectives on occupation, struggle, fear and hope, celebrating their bravery and dedication.

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.

Geva will host a performance of Africantic by UNIVERSES as part of The Festival of New Theatre.
An audiovisual immersive theatrical experience by UNIVERSES, one of the nation's premiere theatre ensembles. Africantic identifies, maps, deconstructs and reconstructs the musical DNA chains that bind us. From the complexities of spiritual ancestral rhythms and chant, across the middle passage into the Americas (where African deities entangle, to this day, in a delicate and vicious dance with Catholic Saints), from work songs and field hollers all the way to today's music, Africantic explores the importance of music and the social movements that have shaped us. Africantic roots run deep.

2019-10-20 20:00 - 22:00 | Babeville, 341 Delaware Ave., Buffalo, New York, 14202, United States
Babeville will host beat-charged, experimental extravaganza, one-man-band <!– 2010-Mar-7: Castaways (Ithaca)-excellent performance with an unclassifiable sound that's related to jam bands, hip-hop, rock, synth-pop, and novelty acts, also 2003-Apr-17 Bug Jar-He plays a "magic pipe" which is a custom-built instrument made of drain pipe. 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."

–>That1Guy.
With an extensive and amazing track record of unique and imaginative performances featuring his curious instrument and copious amounts of originality, Mike Silverman, a/k/a That1Guy, has set himself apart as a true one-of-a-kind talent that rivals any other artist currently in the entertainment industry. Averaging 150-200 shows a year all over North America and Canada, he has been a consistent favorite at such festivals as: Wakarusa, Electric Forest, Big Day out, All Good Music Festival, Bella, High Sierra Music Festival, Summer Meltdown, Montreal Jazz Festival, and many more. He was also the 'tap Water Award' winner at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for best musical act. His legendary collaboration and multiple tours with Buckethead performing as The Frankenstein Brothers has further cemented his virtuoso story as a creative visionary.

Soufra screening
2019-10-21 18:30 - 19:43 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Soufra (Thomas A. Morgan, U.S. / Lebanon 2017, 73 min.) followed by a Videoconference Discussion with director Thomas Morgan as part of the Witness Palestine series.
We hope you'll agree that this film has quite a different flavor. From the director's statement, "Delicious food, an inspiring entrepreneur, a true underdog pursuing a seemingly impossible goal, and learning to drive for the first time at age 42? These, I believe, are the ingredients of a great story." Soufra focuses on Mariam Shaar, whose family took refuge in Lebanon from 1948 Palestine. Job opportunities for refugees are sparse; she decided to start a food-truck business in Beirut. She founded the titular company; "Soufra" means a big fancy table, she said.

Monk creates works that thrive at the intersection of music and movement, image and object, light and sound, discovering and weaving together new modes of perception. Her groundbreaking exploration of the voice as an instrument, as an eloquent language in and of itself, expands the boundaries of musical composition, creating landscapes of sound that unearth feelings, energies, and memories for which there are no words.

Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool screening (2019-Oct-22 @ 7 p.m.)
2019-10-22 19:00 - 20:55 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool (Stanley Nelson, U.S. 2019, 115 min.) as part of the One Take Documentary Series.
Miles Davis: Horn player, bandleader, innovator. Elegant, intellectual, vain. Callous, conflicted, controversial. Magnificent, mercurial. Genius. The very embodiment of cool. The man with a sound so beautiful it could break your heart.
The central theme of Miles Davis's life was his restless determination to break boundaries and live life on his own terms. It made him a star—it also made him incredibly difficult to live with, for the people who loved him most. Again and again, in music and in life, Miles broke with convention—and when he thought his work came to represent a new convention, he changed it again. Miles's bold disregard for tradition, his clarity of vision, his relentless drive, and constant thirst for new experiences made him an inspiring collaborator to fellow musicians and a cultural icon to generations of listeners. It made him an innovator in music—from bebop to "cool jazz," modern quintets, orchestral music, jazz fusion, rock 'n' roll, and even hip-hop.

Silent Documentaries Program screening
2019-10-22 19:30 - 20:45 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will host a Silent Documentaries Program with live piano accompaniment by Philip C. Carli featuring

Las Hurdes (Luis Buñuel, Spain 1933, 30 min.)
Ã€ propos de Nice (Boris Kaufman, Jean Vigo, France 1930, 25 min.)
Berliner Stilleben (László Moholy-Nagy, Germany 1926, 9 min.)
Manhatta (Charles Sheeler, Paul Strand, U.S. 1921, 11 min.)

While the earliest films were simple shots of real life as it happened, bringing images of faraway places and actions to the masses, the term "documentary" was not coined until 1926. Early forms of this new genre often used staged or re-created action to propel the narrative and reflect the director's vision. This program explores the elusive nature of documentary films in the silent period, including a surrealist look at a remote region of Spain, an atypical travelogue of the southern coast of France, and two city symphonies, one of Berlin and one of New York City.

Bonnie has recorded extensively —— her CD A Sudenyu of Yiddish Song is featured at the National Holocaust Museum in DC —— and performed throughout the region, with her guitar and the world's biggest alto voice. Twenty-eight years ago, she partnered with Allen Hopkins, who helps with vocal harmonies and an arsenal of instruments, from banjo to concertina.

2019-10-23 19:30 - 21:11 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Pajama Game (George Abbott, Stanley Donen, U.S. 1957, 101 min., 35mm) as part of the In Memoriam: Doris Day series.
This movie musical is also a rare Hollywood foray into a labor milieu, with factory scenes shot on the premises of the Weldon Pajama Co. and Doris Day heading up a grievance committee to petition for better working conditions and higher pay. Labor union rallies and the factory floor serve as the background for energetic Bob Fosse choreography, with Day falling in love with the shop superintendent and engaging in action decidedly not collective. Featuring songs by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross (Damn Yankees), Day shines again in this timely workplace romp.
