The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman's Portrait Photography screening, Panel Discussion, Jenn Libby, Gerry Szymanski, Michelle Macirella
2017-07-18 19:00 - 20:16 (America/New_York) | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman's Portrait Photography (Errol Morris, U.S. 2016, 76 min.) followed by a Panel Discussion with Jenn Libby, Gerry Szymanski, and Michelle Macirella as part of the One Take Documentary Series.
Portrait photographer Elsa Dorfman found her medium in 1980: the larger-than-life Polaroid Land 20×24 camera. For the next thirty-five years she captured the "surfaces" of those who visited her Cambridge, Massachusetts studio: families, Beat poets, rock stars, and Harvard notables. As pictures begin to fade and her retirement looms, Dorfman gives Errol Morris an inside tour of her backyard archive.

Speedy screening
2017-07-18 19:30 - 20:55 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Speedy (Ted Wilde, U.S. 1928, 85 min., 35mm) with live piano accompaniment by Philip C. Carli as part of the America's Favorite Pastime, Silent Tuesdays series.
In a rollicking action comedy that rivals the masterful Safety Last, Harold Lloyd plays Harold "Speedy" Swift. A dreamer and schemer, Speedy gets himself involved in a number of outrageous slapstick stunts in his attempts to hold down a job. The highlights include a climactic mad dash across New York City in a horse-drawn trolley and Speedy's equally uproarious taxi ride to Yankee Stadium with terrified passenger Babe Ruth (playing himself!).

Mimosas screening
2017-07-20 19:30 - 21:06 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Mimosas (Oliver Laxe, Morocco/Spain/Qatar/France 2016, 96 min., DCP, Arabic w/subtitles) as part of the Primal Screen series.
A dying sheikh wishes to be buried in the legendary Moroccan city of Sijilmasa, across the majestic Atlas Mountains. The caravan is led by a young man who speaks and acts like a prophet. The group's journey across the magnificent landscapes of North Africa looks like a modern-day version of Werner Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath of God, or of a John Ford western, but has the allure of a mystical poem. The film—partly inspired by the ethnographic works of Ben Rivers—is divided in three parts, like the sections of a Sufi prayer; past and present collide in a contemplative, deeply cinematic vision (shot in breathtaking Super16mm), highly deserving the Grand Prize at last year's Cannes Critics' Week.

Jeffers Drops Acid...Knowledge demonstration
2017-07-20 20:00 - 21:00 | Tap and Mallet, 381 Gregory St., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
Indeed, Jeffers Richardson—director of Firestone Walker's Barrelworks wild beer facility—is taking his trailblazing educational show on the road this fall under the banner of "Jeffers Drops Acid…Knowledge," inviting you to explore how acidity shapes your sensory perception of wild beers. "When it comes to wild or sour beers, acidity plays more of a role in the taste experience compared to traditional beers, which are more defined by their hop and malt profiles," Richardson said. "This seminar is designed to explore the role of acidity, and to reveal not only what you are tasting in the beer, but also why."

Kiki screening
2017-07-21 18:30 - 20:04 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Kiki (, Sara JordenÃ¶, Sweden / U.S. 2016, 94 min.) as part of the The Black Cinema Series.
In New York City, LGBTQ youth-of-color gather out on the Christopher Street Pier, practicing a performance-based artform, Ballroom, which was made famous in the early 1990s by Madonna's music video "Vogue" and the documentary "Paris Is Burning." Twenty-five years after these cultural touchstones, a new and very different generation of LGBTQ youth have formed an artistic activist subculture, named the Kiki Scene. Kiki follows seven characters from the Kiki community over the course of four years, using their preparations and spectacular performances at events known as Kiki balls as a framing device while delving into their battles with homelessness, illness and prejudice as well as their gains towards political influence and the conquering of affirming gender-expressions. In Kiki we meet Twiggy Pucci GarÃ§on, the founder and gatekeeper for the Haus of Pucci, Chi Chi, Gia, Chris, Divo, Symba and Zariya. Each of these remarkable young people represents a unique and powerful personal story, illuminating the Kiki scene in particular, as well as queer life in the U.S. for LGBTQ youth-of-color as a whole.

Vertigo, Komposition in Blau (Composition in Blue) screening (2017-Jul-21 @ 7:30 p.m.)
2017-07-21 19:30 - 21:43 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, U.S. 1958, 128 min., 35mm), and Komposition in Blau (Composition in Blue, Oskar Fischinger, Germany 1935, 5 min., 35mm) as part of the Tricks through Time series.
In Hitchcock's most personal film, a retired San Francisco detective (James Stewart) is hired to follow the wife (Kim Novak) of a former school chum. Slowly, inexorably, he becomes obsessed with his charge, but both are haunted by their own personal ghosts. Manipulating narrative and audience expectations, Vertigo stands as perhaps the most profoundly fascinating and disturbing film ever to emerge from the Hollywood system. The dense color palette of the film—shot in Technicolor—plays a key part in the mystery and emotion of the film. Bernard Hermann's orchestration of Vertigo's hues will be preceded by the more literal color symphony directed by famous animator Oskar Fischinger.

The Babadook screening
2017-07-21 21:45 - 23:19 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
Presumably due to a convoluted series of events that made the Babadook a gay icon, ImageOut is screening The Babadook (Jennifer Kent, Australia / Canada 2014, 94 min.) at the Little, preceded by a discussion.
Six years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia (Essie Davis) is at a loss. She struggles to discipline her 'out of control' 6 year-old, Samuel (Noah Wiseman), a son she finds impossible to love. Samuel's dreams are plagued by a monster he believes is coming to kill them both. When a disturbing storybook called 'the Babadook' turns up at their house, Samuel is convinced that the Babadook is the creature he's been dreaming about. His hallucinations spiral out of control, he becomes more unpredictable and violent. Amelia, genuinely frightened by her son's behaviour, is forced to medicate him. But when Amelia begins to see glimpses of a sinister presence all around her, it slowly dawns on her that the thing Samuel has been warning her about may be real.

2017-07-22 12:00 - 13:00 | George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
In the Curtis Theatre of the George Eastman Museum, Claudia Pretelin will present a Focus 45 lecture titled From the Kodak Girl to the Kodak Snapshot: Kodak Advertising 1920–1940.
Early Kodak advertising is mostly associated with the iconic image of the Kodak Girl. Then in the 1930s, Eastman Kodak Company turned their advertising campaigns over to the New York advertising agency J. Walter Thompson. How did this change affect the public image of Kodak? Claudia Pretelin, art historian, will explore this era of Kodak advertising and how it created the basis for the so-called snapshot aesthetic.
