This was the last picture Preminger made under his original contract at 20th Century Fox and it shares the dark undertones and ambiguity of his best films from this period, like Laura and Fallen Angel. Gene Tierney and Karl Malden costar.

Le mura di Malapaga (The Walls of Malapaga) screening
2018-03-13 19:30 - 20:59 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Le mura di Malapaga (The Walls of Malapaga, René Clément, Italy/France 1949, 89 min., 35mm, Italian, French w/subtitles) as part of the Academy Awards at 90 series.
René Clément, the leading post—World War II and pre—Nouvelle Vague French filmmaker, most famous for his 1952 classic Forbidden Games, made an international name for himself with this peculiar and highly original mixture of two seemingly incomparable genres: neorealist drama and film noir. Jean Gabin, the biggest French star of the time, plays a criminal on the run across Europe who finds shelter in Italian Genoa, where he falls in love with a local woman. Recipient of the honorary Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1950, The Walls of Malapaga is one of those films once respected as prime examples of high-quality French cinema, only to be then quickly (and perhaps unfairly) almost completely forgotten in favor of a much louder, younger generation of French filmmakers.

Artist Talk: Neither Living Nor Dead: Documentary photography in the 1970's and 80's with Dana Tyrrell
2018-03-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Squeaky Wheel Film & Media Art Center, 617 Main St., Buffalo, New York, 14203, United States
Join us and our Workspace Resident Researcher, Dana Tyrrell as we explore documentary photography centered in and around New York City in the 1970's and 80's, with special focus given to the work of Peter Hujar and David Wojnarowicz. We will look at these artists photographic works as a product of both their impoverished lifestyles and as a reaction to it. The work itself acts as a foil which prefigures and reacts in real time to the HIV/AIDS epidemic during that period of time. We will also touch upon the work of Buffalo documentary photographer Milton Rogovin, and the differences between straight documentary photography, and documentary photography cum art object.

The Prowler screening
2018-03-14 19:30 - 21:01 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Prowler (Joseph Losey, U.S. 1951, 91 min., 35mm) as part of the Tarnished Badge series.
Set in a shadowy postwar Los Angeles, The Prowler focuses on a wealthy but neglected housewife (Evelyn Keyes) who spends her evenings alone, with only her husband's voice on the radio for company. When she's spooked by a peeping tom, a calculating cop (Van Heflin) answers the call, turning her ordered life upside down. The Prowler was the third of five films Losey made in Hollywood, and the most critically and commercially successful. The following year, Losey was officially blacklisted and soon embarked on a career abroad, where he eventually earned a reputation as a European auteur.

White Line Fever: Tales Of The Road—Bicycling Cross Country by Tony Nowak
2018-03-14 19:30 - 21:30 | Rochester Museum and Science Center (RMSC), 657 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
Would you ever consider sleeping in a tent, in a cemetery or a Bates type motel? Does the idea of spending day after day alone — far from home, with no cell phone, appeal to you? Would you relish the thought of physically pushing yourself beyond your farthest dreams in situations where there would be no relief, no turning back, and no choice but to push forward? Can you imagine riding a bicycle an average of 94 miles a day for 37 straight days, over mountains, in 100 degree heat, though numerous storms, with tractor trailers passing within a few feet of you at 60 Mph? If you think about planning such a trip today, you would expect to hop on the Internet, research possible routes, eateries, camping grounds, motels, road conditions, bike shops, etc. In 1986, when Tony planned and set upon his cross-country trip, he had the help of an Adventure Cycling Association planned route with accompanying maps. Other than that he had his legs, his bicycle and a "wing and a prayer".

La Strada screening
2018-03-15 19:30 - 21:18 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen La Strada (Federico Fellini, Italy 1954, 108 min., 35mm, Italian w/subtitles) as part of the Academy Awards at 90 series.
The cinema of Fellini is marked by a passion for life often revealed in the glowing face of the director's wife, Giulietta Masina, who stars here in one of his finest films. Masina is Gelsomina, a pantomime artist in the spirit of Chaplin, who, being sold to strongman ZampanÃ² (Anthony Quinn), serves as his dutiful assistant and eventually develops a genuine affection for the brute. While ZampanÃ² overtly rejects Gelsomina's warm heart, he doesn't hesitate to confront another circus performer, the Fool (Richard Basehart), whom he sees as an interloper. This important transitional film for both Italian cinema and Fellini's career (moving away from neorealism) garnered Anthony Quinn long overdue acclaim as an actor of stature and won more than fifty international awards, including the first official Best Foreign Language Film Award at the Academy Awards in 1956.
