This fresh political portrait provides unparalleled access to one of Congress's first openly gay Representatives, as well as one of the most captivating public figures in recent history. Born Jewish, and a longtime supporter of Israel, Frank is refreshingly honest, and a beacon of statesmanship who inspires politicians and citizens alike. He remained in Congress over 40 years, shaping the debate around progressive values and enriching not only his own life, but the lives of those for whom he fought.

Having suppressed the wartime horrors of decades earlier, he is prompted to track down his fugitive Nazi tormentor by friend and fellow Auschwitz survivor Max (Martin Landau), a wheelchair-bound resident of their New York City nursing home. Zev embarks on a cross-country mission to find the former commander responsible for murdering their families, who they now believe to be living somewhere in the country under an assumed identity. As Zev closes in on his target, his manhunt is complicated by his own constantly crumbling sense of self, leading to a shocking discovery.

Combining a procession of mouthwatering dishes and interviews with chefs, home cooks and farmers of all backgrounds, Oscar-nominated documentarian Roger Sherman presents a diverse portrait of the Israeli people told through the very personal language of food.

In This Our Life screening
2016-07-19 20:00 - 21:37 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen In This Our Life (John Huston, U.S. 1942, 97 min., 35mm).
In This Our Life, the second feature by the great director John Huston, had the misfortune of arriving very shortly after his legendary debut, The Maltese Falcon, and thus remained forever in the shadow of that quintessential film noir. Unjustly so, because this eponymous adaptation of the 1942 Pulitzer Prize—winning novel by Ellen Glasgow is a superb romantic melodrama. It sees the director tackling serious issues in a mature way that most people associate only with the latest phase of his illustrious career. Olivia de Havilland shines as a humble younger sister to spoiled and sinister Bette Davis who runs away with de Havilland's husband, causing misery and misfortune for everyone around her.

The Big Sky screening
2016-07-20 20:00 - 22:17 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Big Sky (Howard Hawks, U.S. 1952, 137 min., 16mm).
"Though this sublime 1952 black-and-white masterpiece by Howard Hawks is usually accorded a low place in the Hawks canon, it's a particular favorite of mine—mysterious, beautiful, and even utopian in some of its sexual and cultural aspects. Adapted (apparently rather loosely) by Dudley Nichols from part of A. B. Guthrie's novel, this adventure stars Kirk Douglas and Dewey Martin as Kentucky drifters who join an epic trek up the Missouri River, along with the latter's uncle (Arthur Hunnicutt), an Indian princess (Elizabeth Threatt), and a good many Frenchmen. The poetic feeling for the wilderness is matched by the camaraderie, yet there's also a tragic undertone to this odyssey that seems quintessentially Hawksian—a sense of a small human oasis in the center of a vast metaphysical void." — Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

The Dryden will screen MacBeth (Roman Polanski, U.K./U.S. 1971, 140 min., 35mm).
Polanski's faithful adaptation of the Shakespeare classic is a graphic and bloody rendering of the Scottish play. The film's gritty realism lifts the play free from the dictates of conventional theatrical techniques. Shot on location in the rainy and foggy Welsh countryside, Polanski creates a mood perfectly conducive to murder and witchcraft. Produced by Hugh Hefner, the film originally received a rating of X.

Mister F musical performance
2016-07-21 21:00 - 23:00 | Lovin' Cup, 300 Park Point Dr., Rochester, New York, 14623, United States
Starting a touring-ready band from scratch and instantly hitting the road is a tough thing to do, but it seems to be working for Mister F. Formed in 2013 from members of Timbre Coup and Capital Zen, these young guys from Upstate NY have already brought their fresh blend of fusion and funk to 19 states across the country. By year's end, Mister F will have played over 200 shows as a band, with 141 of those gigs falling in 2014 alone. A busy festival season, filled with events like Hudson Project, Catskill Chill, and Mantrabash (to name a few) paired with opening slots for Snarky Puppy, Toubab Krewe, Conspirator, Dopapod, and Consider the Source, have really contributed to the buzz surrounding this group. Whether you love good music, or just really like Arrested Development, you should give Mister F's debut album "The F Stands Four" a spin. It was recorded only 10 months after the band's first show, and we think you'll agree…it's a sign of great things to come.
