The Dryden will screen Story of G.I. Joe (William A. Wellman, U.S. 1945, 108 min., 35mm) tonight. Based on the reports of a Pulitzer Prize—winning war correspondent Ernie Pyle, who joined a U.S. infantry unit (Company C, 18th Infantry) on its way across North Africa and Italy, this remarkably unglamorous and authentic picture, preceding Samuel Fuller's The Big Red One by 35 years, refuses to view the Second World War from any other perspective but that of an ordinary grunt, conveying an extraordinary sense of terror and misery on the battlefield. A tribute to the American infantryman, and a template for William Wellman's WWII masterpiece Battleground. Pay attention to young Robert Mitchum in the role that launched him to international stardom. [source: Dryden website, 2015-Jun-1]

Mary Gauthier was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Born to a mother she never knew and left in St Vincent's Women and Infants Asylum, Gauthier was adopted when she was a year old by an Italian Catholic couple from Thibodaux, Louisiana.[1] At age 15, she ran away from home, and spent the next several years in drug rehabilitation, halfway houses, and living with friends; she spent her 18th birthday in a jail cell.[2] Struggling to deal with being adopted, she used drugs and alcohol.[2] These experiences provided fodder for her songwriting later on. Spurred on by friends, she enrolled at Louisiana State University as a philosophy major, dropping out during her senior year. After attending the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, she opened a Cajun restaurant in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, Dixie Kitchen (also the title of her first album).[3]Mary ran, and cooked at, the restaurant for eleven years. She was arrested for drunk driving opening night, July 12, 1990, and has been sober ever since. After achieving sobriety, she was driven to dedicate herself full-time to songwriting, and embarked upon a career in music. She wrote her first song at age 35.[4]

Mutter Küsters' Fahrt zum Himmel (Mother Küsters Goes to Heaven) screening
2015-06-11 20:00 - 21:48 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Mutter Küsters' Fahrt zum Himmel (Mother Küsters Goes to Heaven, R. W. Fassbinder, West Germany 1975, 108 min., 35mm, German w/subtitles).
When mass layoffs are announced, a worker first shoots his superior and then himself. His utterly helpless wife, Mother Küsters (Brigitte Mira), faces a catastrophe. Her son (Armin Meier) and his wife (Irm Hermann) do not want to be publicly associated with the "factory killer." Mother Küsters's daughter Corinna (Ingrid Caven), singer in a nightclub, uses the unexpected publicity to advance her career. A reporter (Gottfried John) writes a denunciatory article. The only people who support Mother Küsters are communists Karl (Karlheinz BÃ¶hm) and his wife Marianne (Margit Carstensen). Mother Küsters feels that they take her seriously, but her hopes that her husband might be publicly rehabilitated are in vain. She turns to an "anarchist" (Matthias Fuchs) for help. An almost impossibly touching portrayal of a working-class woman entangled in web of unwanted media attention and politics. Fassbinder reluctantly shot a special, more "optimistic" ending for American audiences, but later fell in love with it, claiming it to be far more poignant and effective.

He even describes his constant companion Earl (R.J. Cyler), with whom he makes short film parodies of classic movies, as more of a 'co-worker' than a best friend. But when Greg's mom (Connie Britton) insists he spend time with Rachel (Olivia Cooke) — a girl in his class who has just been diagnosed with cancer — he slowly discovers how worthwhile the true bonds of friendship can be.

The Unspeakable Act screening with Dan Sallitt in person
2015-06-12 20:00 - 21:31 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Unspeakable Act (Dan Sallitt, U.S. 2012, 91 min., digital) followed by a discussion with director Dan Sallitt.
In this subtle "sibling drama," 17-year-old Jackie (Tallie Medel) struggles with her deeply felt incestuous desires for her brother Matthew (Sky Hirschkron). "After All the Ships at Sea, I felt I needed a new field to plough, which is terribly risky for a self-financed filmmaker. The story of The Unspeakable Act excited me less for the transgression itself than for the young protagonist's refusal to share in the world's judgment of her forbidden desire: she's an existentialist hero, incapable of internalizing the obstacles she observes. But I knew that I needed an uncommon actor for that role, and I had no one in mind; and I also needed a house that could evoke her private legend, and I had none at my disposal. So The Unspeakable Act is for me the record of a once-in-a-lifetime good-luck streak, in the course of which I managed to ally myself with the extraordinary Tallie Medel and to secure the fairy-tale house of my dreams in Brooklyn's Midwood Park. In addition to the ongoing influence of Eric Rohmer on my style, I here duplicated an aspect of his choice of material: the line that cannot be crossed, however much a character may wish it. Apart from this, I don't think my storytelling instincts are nearly as Rohmerian as my approach to image and sound." — Dan Sallitt
