Since 2001, more veterans have died by their own hand than in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan – it is reported that one veteran dies by suicide every 80 minutes, and former service members account for 20% of all suicides in the U.S. Based in Canandaigua, NY and open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the Veterans Crisis Line receives more than 22,000 calls each month from veterans of all conflicts who are struggling or contemplating suicide due to the psychological wounds of war and the challenges of returning to civilian life.

Man, Woman, and Sin screening, Philip C. Carli
2015-06-30 20:00 - 21:07 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Man, Woman, and Sin (Monta Bell, U.S. 1927, 67 min., 16mm) with live piano by Philip C. Carli.
Man, Woman and Sin is one the silent era's most "personal" films in many ways, and remains one of MGM's most unusual productions of any period. Based on the poem "The Widow In the Bye-Street" by English Poet Laureate John Masefield, it was a passionately wished-for project by star John Gilbert, who plays a naive young reporter whose life is shattered by an affair with the mistress of the newspaper's owner. Distinctively sensitive director Monta Bell brought forth brilliant performances from Gilbert, veterans Marc Mcdermott and Gladys Brockwell, and especially the legendary and luminous Jeanne Eagels in one of her very few film appearances. Full of atmosphere, tension, and conflicted passions, this is an extraordinarily "adult" and psychologically complex American film for its time, and the fullest expression of John Gilbert's intellectual emotionalism as an actor and creator.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home screening
2015-07-01 20:00 - 21:59 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (Leonard Nimoy, U.S. 1986, 119 min., 35mm)
In order to save the universe from a deadly alien probe, Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and company must travel back in time to San Francisco, 1986. Their mission: hijack a pair of humpbacked whales, the only creatures capable of stopping the probe, and bring them back to a future where they are extinct. The beloved Spock directs perhaps the most enjoyable film of the series, deriving much of its humor from watching the technologically and medically advanced Enterprise Crew cope with our "modern" world.

Proverka na dorogakh (Trial on the Road) screening
2015-07-02 20:00 - 21:38 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Proverka na dorogakh (Trial on the Road, Aleksej German, Soviet Union 1971, 98 min., 35mm, Russian w/ subtitles).
"Banned for fifteen years, German's solo directorial debut, set during WWII, marries the muscular dynamics of the war film with a more searing, philosophical approach to the thin line between official 'heroes' and 'traitors.' A former Nazi collaborator rejoins his Russian brethren to fight against the Germans; for some partisans, he is and always will be a traitor, but others allow him to prove himself—and his commitment—on the battlefield. For German, basic human concepts like loyalty, decency, and trust underline the film's train-like narrative force and breathtaking black-and-white images; government censors, however, angered over the 'immorality' of portraying a former traitor as a hero, accused him of de-heroicizing Soviet history. . . . Filmed in 1971, the film was finally released in 1986, during a political thaw." — Jason Sanders, Pacific Film Archive

2015-07-03 20:00 - 21:41 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen En duva satt pÃ¥ en gren och funderade pÃ¥ tillvaron (A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence, Roy Andersson, Sweden 2014, 101 min., DCP, Swedish w/ subtitles).
Like a modern-day Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, Sam and Jonathan, two traveling salesmen peddling novelty items, take us on a kaleidoscopic wandering through human destiny. It is a journey that unveils the beauty of single moments, the pettiness of others, the humor and tragedy hidden within us, and life's grandeur as well as the ultimate frailty of humanity. Following masterpieces Songs from the Second Floor (2000) and You, the Living (2007), this is the eccentric Swedish director's "final part of a trilogy on being a human being."

They Live screening
2015-07-04 20:00 - 21:33 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen They Live (John Carpenter, U.S. 1988, 93 min., 35mm).
A homeless drifter (wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper) discovers a conspiracy by non-human aliens who have infiltrated American society in the guise of wealthy yuppies. With the help of special glasses that reveal the aliens' true faces and their subliminal messages, our hero tries to stop the invasion. What used to be known as a deliriously imaginative satire of Reaganomics and the "greed is good" era, reveals itself 25 years later as one of the most accurate predictions of the world and its class divide today. A cult masterpiece.

The Dryden will screen Yellow Submarine (George Dunning, U.S. / U.K. 1968, 85 min., 35mm).
The Beatles' foray into feature-length animation utilizes a mythical plot about the band's attempt to free the people of Pepperland from the Blue Meanies. A treat for both the eyes and the ears, the film beautifully combines the imagery of '60s pop artist Peter Max with classic songs such as "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "All You Need Is Love."

COINTELPRO 101 screening
2015-07-06 19:00 - 21:00 | Flying Squirrel Community Space, 285 Clarissa St., Rochester, New York, 14608, United States
At tonight's Monday Mayhem: screening of COINTELPRO 101 (Andres Alegria, Prentis Hemphill, Anita Johnson, Claude Marks, U.S. 2010, 56 min.) followed by a discussion.
COINTELPRO may not be a well-understood acronym but its meaning and continuing impact are absolutely central to understanding the government's wars and repression against progressive movements. COINTELPRO represents the state's strategy to prevent movements and communities from overturning white supremacy and creating racial justice. COINTELPRO is both a formal program of the FBI and a term frequently used to describe a conspiracy among government agencies—local, state, and federal—to destroy movements for self-determination and liberation for Black, Brown, Asian, and Indigenous struggles, as well as mount an institutionalized attack against allies of these movements and other progressive organizations.

Yadon ilaheyya (Divine Intervention) screening
2015-07-07 20:00 - 21:32 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Yadon ilaheyya (Divine Intervention, Elia Suleiman, France/Morocco/Germany/Palestine 2002, 92 min., 35mm, Arabic and Hebrew w/ subtitles).
Carefully intertwined stories featuring a variegated lot of characters in the town of Ramallah, Elia Suleiman's deadpan, earnest take on the everyday lives of Palestinians is as compelling as it is caustically humorous. Focusing on the story of a man and woman separated by political boundaries—she lives in Jerusalem, just ten miles south—Divine Intervention is sectioned off by their bittersweet meetings at a military checkpoint. Occupying the other portions of the film are a lonely soccer player, a Santa Claus on the run, quarreling neighbors, a prisoner giving directions from a police van, and the inflated head of Yasser Arafat floating over the city. At times surreal, touching, and just plain outrageous, Suleiman's comic masterpiece wonderfully illuminates the humor of the trivial, and the tragic surprises that affect everyone living in a nation wracked by political turmoil. Members admitted free.

Salesman screening
2015-07-08 20:00 - 21:25 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Salesman (Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Charlotte Zwerin, U.S. 1968, 85 min., 35mm).
A landmark American documentary from essential filmmakers the Maysles brothers, Salesman marks a highpoint in '60s cinema verité. Aging Bible salesman Paul Brennan is followed from door to door, through struggles with sales quotas and the somber desperation and frustrations of constant travel. As a study of business and religion, materialism and spiritualism, few nonfiction movies speak with such sensitivity and subtle beauty.
