Reel Mind Film Series about Mental Health — 2019 Season: Evelyn screening
2019-05-14 19:00 - 20:40 (America/New_York) | Cinema Theatre, 957 S. Clinton Ave., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
The Cinema will screen Evelyn (Orlando von Einsiedel, U.K. 2019, 100 min.) followed by a discussion with film participant Gwennie von Einsiedel as part of the Reel Mind Film Series about Mental Health — 2019 Season.
Following his Oscar winning The White Helmets, Orlando von Einsiedel turns his camera on his own family as they attempt to cope with a devastating loss. When his brother, newly diagnosed as schizophrenic and suffering from intense depression, took his own life at 22, Orlando and his other two siblings buried the trauma, rarely talking about it. Over a decade later, the remaining family set out on a hiking tour, visiting landscapes Evelyn liked to walk, to reflect on his life and death. The result is an intensely personal and moving take on the emotional impact of suicide within a family and a powerful account of the benefits of creating safe spaces for emotional communication. Shot in a subjective style and against the stunning backdrop of the British countryside, Evelyn is an emotionally raw film that documents the difficult, yet rewarding, attempt to navigate the rocky highlands of collective trauma.

The Architecture of James H. Johnson
2019-05-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Greece Public Library, 2 Vince Tofany Blvd., Greece, New York, 14612, United States
During his career in Rochester, architect James Johnson was acclaimed for several of his unusual designs, including the Liberty Pole, the "Mushroom House," Temple Sinai and St. John the Evangelist Church in the town of Greece. Most of his other projects received little attention.
Christopher Brandt and Katie Comeau spent 18 months exploring Johnson's work. They will be sharing what they learned in this talk featuring new and old photographs of Johnson's projects.

Lust for Life screening
2019-05-14 19:30 - 21:32 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Lust for Life (Vincente Minnelli, U.S. 1956, 122 min., 35mm) as part of the Eastman Entertains series.
Vincente Minnelli's bold, colorful biography of Vincent Van Gogh is anchored by the vibrant performances of Kirk Douglas as Vincent and James Donald as his brother, Theo. Van Gogh, following an unsuccessful preaching career, finds himself drawn to the people of the town and the work that they do, which leads him to find drawing and, ultimately, painting. He is influenced by his relationships with painters Anton Mauve (Noel Purcell) and Paul Gaugin (Anthony Quinn), but the beautiful images he paints belie a struggle with depression. Douglas was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance and Quinn won his second Oscar in five years for his.

The Archive Ravens musical performance (2019-May-14 @ 8 p.m.)
2019-05-14 20:00 - 22:00 | Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Archive Ravens are equally passionate about creating new music and preserving music from different cultures and time periods. They are currently finishing their first album of original music, Trobairitz.
Refusing to be restricted by genre, Trobairitz is highly exploratory: it contains a Troubadour ballad, a Japanese cradle song, a musical palindrome set in the style of sacred music, a 50's/60's girl group number, a Samba dance tune, a James Bond-esque cinematic jazz piece, and much more. However, the messages underpinning the music are united by common themes – including an emphasis on resilience, appreciation for the natural world, and a resolve to be mindful of the current moment. Trobairitz seeks to capture the essence of many disparate cultures, in attempts to unearth the threads of humanity shared between us all.
The Archive Ravens developed out of an acoustic folk duo, Will Schantz (guitar) and Ava Sauer (vocals, keys), covering beloved tunes by Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Neil Young, and other great musicians. Then, Tom Andolsek (guitar, saxophone, vocals) joined, and we began to diversify our repertoire. We now often perform with various friends, including Siena Facciolo (keys, vocals), Josh Miller (bass), and Chris Palace (drums).

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning screening
2019-05-15 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 Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (Karel Reisz, U.K. 1960, 89 min., 16mm) as part of the Albert Finney series.
Albert Finney burst onto cinema screens in 1960 with this portrait of a young British upstart. Arthur Seaton is a hardworking factory worker in Nottingham who nonetheless rails against authority and what he sees as his fellow workers' compliance in their own misery. He finds solace in drinking contests and sexual trysts while trying to avoid complications, but when the consequences of his actions catch up with him, he has nowhere to turn. Based on a semi-autobiographical novel by Alan Stilltoe and equally a part of the "Brit New Wave," the "Angry Young Man" cycle, and "Kitchen Sink" drama, this film established Finney as a young actor to watch.

Sparks fly, and Edward hires Vivian to be his companion for the week, over the objections of his business partner (Jason Alexander). Throughout the week (and across several iconic cinematic moments), the business relationship turns personal and the two can't help but fall in love. Roberts's radiant turn was popular not only with audiences, but also with critics, and garnered her second Academy Award nomination in as many years.

Aliza Bridgman, Sarah Eide, Dallas Greene musical performances
2019-05-16 20:30 - 22:30 | Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
Aliza Bridgman—Aliza is a Canandaigua, NY native, bringing her passion of singing to Rochester, NY. She has a more recent background and career in communication but has carried her love for singing since she was a small girl. Aliza isn't just a witty girl with humor and a big personality. Aliza is a witty girl with humor, a big personality, and a voice worth sharing. She is just getting started, though her deep, down-to-earth, raw style is unique and doesn't disappoint. She's an old soul who's inspiration is driven by voices like those of Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse, Ray Lamontagne, and Oliver Wood.
Aliza embraces the bluesy-folky-funky-jaziness of it all and she'll sing to anyone, anywhere, when asked, or completely unprovoked. Around the fire, friend's living rooms, her cubicle at work, staff meetings… where there is Aliza, there is a song. One thing you can always expect is for her delivery to match her lifestyle —never taking anything too seriously, and always having a little bit of fun.
Sarah Eide—In an industry that can often feel over saturated with stale soundscapes, lifeless lyrics, and predictable patterns, Sarah Eide's music cuts through the clutter. Bursting out of any genre's box, her music deftly weaves influences of roots, folk, jazz and pop, creating a singular sound that is uniquely her own. Songs that are thoughtful, quirky, and honest, are matched with a signature musical style that is equal parts complex and catchy. With skillful piano playing and a powerful voice, these songs are what pulls her audience in and keeps them coming back. Sarah will be touring the Midwest and Northeast throughout the spring and summer of 2019 in support of her newest release, "Dreams On Hold" (5/6/19), which has already been dubbed "a unique spin on Americana" by NYS Music . Her newest single off the album, "The Bridge Song" was released with a music video that has the critics raving. glamglare wrote "All that talk about building walls to push people farther apart can be depressing, but here we have the perfect antidote."
Dallas Greene—She started writing music when she was 20 years old … She got her first guitar when she was 12; a Squire Stratacaster electric, matte black finish. It was super hot, but still, she didn't have the patience or confidence to pursue music. Then after college, she moved to Los Angeles to follow her dream of becoming a major Hollywood director and naturally, was extremely unemployed. With all that free time and grief, she threw herself into practicing guitar and writing songs that felt right to her and felt good to play.

By the mid-1970s gays and lesbians had formed over a thousand affiliated organizations throughout the country. The Rochester Gay Liberation Front, located at the University of Rochester campus, was part of this national process of demanding gay and lesbian rights. Among their many achievements, the GLF created a newspaper we still know today as The Empty Closet. These local activists brought into existence, in just three short years, a separate, cohesive gay and lesbian community.
