Mike Doughty musical performance (2019-Oct-26 @ 8 p.m.)
2019-10-26 20:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Flour City Station, 170 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
Mike Doughty will perform his band Soul Coughing's album Ruby Vroom as part of the 25 Year Anniversary Tour at Flour City Station.
Mike Doughty, the singer, songwriter, producer, author and founder of seminal 90's band Soul Coughing will be playing their debut LP Ruby Vroom in full across the U.S. in 2019. Doughty will be joined by a full band on these special dates. While they will be performing Ruby Vroom in its entirety, in the original sequence, what the audience experiences will be different each night. "When I was looking for something to do between album cycles I decided to tour Irresistible Bliss in full" explains Doughty. "It was incredibly fun forcing myself to work within that structure. The decisions you make when putting together a set list are different from the ones you make when sequencing a record. This is like performing a single, hour-long piece of music." Rather than an exact replication of the studio recording, Doughty plans to use a variety of cues and hand signals to adjust the performance in real time. "Live we turn into a musical super- organism. We're basically doing a real-time remix of the record at each show" tells Doughty. "It won't not be a note-for-note performance. I'm very proud of the record we made; it's the sonic embodiment of lower Manhattan in the early 1990's. Yet there's a whole other version of this record that lives in my head. I'm extremely excited to see how it evolves night after night."

2019-10-26 21:30 - 23:00 | Comedy at The Carlson, 50 Carlson Rd., Rochester, New York, 14610, United States
Michelle Wolf has quickly become one of the most influential voices in the comedy landscape with the Village Voice calling her "the voice comedy needs right now" and The Daily Beast declaring, "Michelle Wolf is the future of stand-up comedy." In 2017 Wolf debuted her first hour-long stand-up special, "Michelle Wolf: Nice Lady", on HBO for which she received rave reviews and a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing For A Variety Special.
As with her HBO special, Wolf steers clear of politics in her current show; instead focusing on social commentary, race and gender issues which she tackles through her unique comedic voice and her uncanny ability to find humor in the most unpredictable ways; often leading to boundaries being pushed to hilarious results.

The Great Book Robbery screening
2019-10-27 14:30 - 15:27 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen The Great Book Robbery (Gish Amit, Rona Sela, Netherlands 2012, 57 min.) followed by a videoconference with producer Benny Brunner as part of the Witness Palestine series.
This film describes the looting of 70,000 Palestinian books by the newly created State of Israel in 1948. When Palestinians were expelled from their homes, part of Palestinian culture was also destroyed: furniture, musical instruments, carpets, and also valuable books.
Some books were saved and arrived at the National Library and the Hebrew University, labeled "AP" for Abandoned Property.
The film interweaves various story lines into a structure that is both dramatically compelling and emotionally unsettling. The interviews center on eyewitness accounts and cultural critiques that place the book-theft affair in a larger historical-cultural context. In the process, new light is shed on the Palestinian tragedy of 1948, and the moralistic-heroic Israeli narrative of the 1948 war is deconstructed.

Gauguin in Tahiti: Paradise Lost will take us on the trail of a story that has become myth. Through Tahiti and Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia, we will experience the landscapes that inspired Gauguin, in the places where he built houses with bamboo and leaves, and discovered light and colours which changed his painting forever.

Through riveting and moving personal recollections of both Palestinians and Israelis, 1948: Creation and Catastrophe reveals the shocking events of the most pivotal year in the most controversial conflict in the world. It tells the story of the establishment of Israel as seen through the eyes of the people who lived it.

Young husband Hutter is sent by his employer to Transylvania to arrange the purchase of a house in the city of Bremen by the mysterious Count Orlok. When the count moves in across the street, Hutter and his wife consult The Book of Vampires to learn how to deal with their new neighbor. Eerily symbolic, memorably horrific and unsettling, the film remains the most imaginative, stylized, and hypnotic of all vampire movies, featuring Max Schreck's now-legendary performance as Orlok.
