Bread and Water Theatre is hosting a performance of La Ronde by Arthur Schnitzler.
First published for private circulation in Vienna in 1900, Arthur Schnitzler's famous play looks at the sexual morality and class ideology of his day through a series of sexual encounters between pairs of characters. When published in 1903, it became an immediate best-seller, scandalized Viennese society, and a year later was censored. Schnitzler was accused of pornography and worse. By choosing characters across the social spectrum, La Ronde offers a powerful view of how sexual contact transgresses boundaries of class. For mature audiences only. No cell phones or cameras allowed in the theatre for this production.

Remine, El Ãšltimo Movimiento Obrero (Remine, the Last Working Class Movement) screening
2016-09-23 20:00 - 21:42 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Remine, El Ãšltimo Movimiento Obrero (Remine, the Last Working Class Movement, Marcos Martinez, Spain 2014, 102 min., DCP, Spanish w/subtitles) as part of the Labor Film Series.
In 2012, as global financial institutions harassed debt-ridden Spain, the government introduced crushing austerity measures, including a 63 percent reduction in subsidies to the coal industry. In northern Spain, a stronghold of militant trade unions, Asturian miners declared an unlimited strike, occupied mines, blockaded highways, fought police, and organized a mass protest march to Madrid, nearly 300 miles away. Across Spain and internationally, the miners' traditional methods of struggle and organization won wide sympathy and admiration, culminating in a joyous demonstration of solidarity. Yet the future of Spanish coal mining remains in doubt.

EIO — Ensemble of Irreproducible Outcomes musical performance
2016-09-23 20:30 - 22:00 | Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
EIO was formed in 2012, in the wake of a collaboration with David D. McIntire and bassist Brian Padavic. Over the course of this project, the notion of an ensemble that performed indeterminate works took hold and Ryan Oldham was invited to fill out the trio. All three are composers and all contribute to the group's repertoire. While the trio often performs from notation, all of its works are designed to be realized differently each time they are performed. Thus, every musical outcome is "irreproducible." In the works with electronics, earlier performances are embedded into the electronic material, usually transformed in some way, yet providing an imperfect "memory" of the previous experiences. With each new performance, this material is remixed, and while certain dimensions will remain the same and be familiar to the musicians, there are always some surprises. In this way we hope to mirror phenomena of nature and the workings of people's daily lives.

2016-09-24 12:00 - 13:00 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen A Town Called Panic: Double Fun (Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar, France 2016, 60 min.)
With disarming wit and hilarious visuals, A Town Called Panic: Double Fun revels in the simple setup of three toys sent on increasingly surreal and freewheeling adventures. Cowboy and Indian are always up to some harebrained scheme, with Horse left to clean up the mess. In Christmas Panic, their out-of-control antics lead Horse to call Santa and cancel the presents. But the boys figure they can still save Christmas… if they break into their neighbor's house to steal his yule log! In Back to School Panic, a class assignment yields a special prize, but only Pig knows the answer. Cowboy and Indian use a special shrinking potion to sneak into Pig's brain, where they discover a sodium-packed world of pig cops riding in bacon cars and sausage cycles. These new short films continue the brilliant, over-the-top visual inventiveness that has given the series a dedicated cult following, with a classic slapstick comedy sensibility that is perfect for all ages. This special Art House Theater Day release continues with the fun with an intermission featuring two classic A Town Called Panic shorts, Lisa and Jan and Cow-Hulk, where ill-behaved European backpackers and an alien microbe cause even more mayhem!

Taking Kevin with them, they variously drop in on Napoleon (Ian Holm), Robin Hood (John Cleese) and King Agamemnon (Sean Connery) before the Supreme Being catches up with them.

Greendale screening
2016-09-24 20:00 - 21:27 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Greendale (Bernard Shakey, U.S. 2003, 87 min., 35mm).
Who would have thought that one of the best American independent films of the decade would be shot in Super 8, performed by nonprofessional actors and directed by a Canadian rock musician? Handmade on a shoestring budget in a small town, Neil Young's fourth feature film looks like (and actually is) a home movie but displays an awesome cinematic talent and feels like an epic of universal appeal. Crazy Horse's haunting music and a deliberate revival of the 1970s anti-establishment protest show that creativity needs no money to produce a truly subversive, compelling work of art.

Multibird musical performance
2016-09-24 20:00 - 23:00 | Three Heads Brewing, 186 Atlantic Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
Multibird is the brand new project by Seth Faergolzia. Seth is well known for subtly harmonic, experimental lyricism, dynamic song structures, and whip-crack-acrobatic vocals. Celebrated as a vibrant example of what happens when a musician turns a genre like folk upside down and inside out, over time Faergolzia has come to represent something of a genre unto himself oft times nowhere near the folk aesthetic.

The Dryden will screen Sweet Bird of Youth (Richard Brooks, U.S. 1962, 120 min., 35mm).
By 1962, Tennessee Williams had become one of America's best-known playwrights, not just among the Broadway cognoscenti but regular moviegoers as well; eleven of his works had been turned into Hollywood films in as many years. The twelfth would be this adaptation of his 1959 sensation, starring Geraldine Page as Alexandra Del Lago, an aging Hollywood star who fears her latest comeback was an embarrassing failure, and has descended to a self-protective cocoon of booze and drugs. She's easy pickings for Chance Wayne (Paul Newman, who starred opposite Page in the original Broadway production), a handsome, opportunistic gigolo who is on his own downward slide. Chance drives Alexandra down to his Florida hometown where the wreckage of his past and a shocking comeuppance await.
