Silent Documentaries Program screening
2019-10-22 19:30 - 20:45 (America/New_York) | 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.

2019-10-23 19:00 - 23:00 | Downstairs Cabaret Theatre on Windsor Street, 20 Windsor St., Rochester, New York, 14605, United States
Born in the Bronx, child of Holocaust survivors, Bonnie Abrams played Greenwich Village clubs as a teenager. Through careers as an environmental scientist, winemaker, and now a Holocaust educator, Bonnie kept writing and singing her songs, incorporating her family history and Jewish tradition, chronicling her life and the world's events. 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. Bonnie's shows always feature her humorous takes on middle age and family life, her strong social conscience, and the flavor of her Jewish background.

The Pajama Game screening
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.

Mamma Roma screening
2019-10-24 19:30 - 21:20 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Mamma Roma (Pier Paolo Pasolini, Italy 1962, 110 min., 35mm, Italian w/subtitles) as part of the Pasolini series.
If Anna Magnani's unforgettable turn in Rossellini's Rome, Open City made her an international star, her stunning performance in Pasolini's controversial second feature confirmed her status as icon. Here, she plays a middle-aged prostitute determined to give her son the bourgeois life she never had, until a figure from the past returns to threaten her dreams. Astonishingly, Pasolini was disappointed with Magnani—he favored nonprofessionals who were authentically "subproletarian"—but no matter: her performance remains one of the greatest in postwar Italian cinema.
