The Thoughts That Once We Had screening
2016-09-21 20:00 - 21:48 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Thoughts That Once We Had (Thom Andersen, U.S. 2015, 108 min., DCP).
Described in an opening text as a "personal history of cinema, partially inspired by Gilles Deleuze," The Thoughts That Once We Had from master cinematic essayist Thom Andersen (Los Angeles Plays Itself) is a richly digressive journey through cinema. A found-footage film composed entirely of unidentified, yet often recognizable film clips and concise intertitles written by Andersen, Thoughts leaps associatively across a vast territory spanning from Griffith to Godard, using dynamically cinematic images and sequences not to explain, but to embody Deleuzian ideas in all their rich ambiguity and nuance.

IWOC General Interest Meeting
2016-09-22 19:00 - 22:00 | Flying Squirrel Community Space, 285 Clarissa St., Rochester, New York, 14608, United States
The Rochester chapter of IWOC is having a general interest meeting where you can find out more about the national movement to organize prisoners, the recent strikes and prisoner uprisings nation wide, as well as what we are doing here in Rochester to help organize prisoners and call for an abolition of all jails and prisons. *The meeting will be ASL interpreted* "Members of the IWW have created the IWOC, the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee, which functions as a liaison for prisoners to organize each other, unionize, and build solid bridges between prisoners on the inside and fellow workers on the outside. Prison is a setup, a big business, there to make money off the People. Neither the setup, nor the slavery inside of prisons can be combated without the conscious participation of prisoners and the working class on the outside through mutual aid, solidarity, and the building of working relationships that transcend prison walls and the politics of mass incarceration. The IWOC has been actively reaching out to prisoners while at the same time prisoners have been reaching out to the IWW for representation and assistance in building a prisoners union. The IWOC has taken up the cause and is helping prisoners in every facility organize and build a union branch for themselves, which will together form a powerful IWW Industrial Union"-IWOC.noblogs.org

Memento screening
2016-09-22 20:00 - 21:53 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Memento (Christopher Nolan, U.S. 2000, 113 min., 35mm).
Memento's reverse-motion opening scene immediately questions the role and reliability of photographs (and popular media) in the construction of memories. Leonard, brilliantly portrayed by Guy Pearce, suffers from anterograde amnesia and is unable to store recent memories. Eager to uncover the truth behind his wife's murder, he conducts his own investigation using a system of notes, Polaroid photos, and tattoos. Nolan presents two timelines; a chronological one in black-and-white and a reversed order in color, ultimately conveying a neo-noir style to the story. Both an exploration of modern photographic technologies and systems of memories, Memento is a tense psychological thriller captured in a strikingly open-ended innovative structure.

La Ronde theatrical performance (2016-Sep-23 @ 7:30 p.m.)
2016-09-23 19:30 - 21:30 | Bread and Water Theatre, 172 W. Main St., Rochester, New York, United States
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.

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.
