The Blue Max screening
2017-10-08 14:00 - 16:36 (America/New_York) | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Blue Max (John Guillermin, U.K. 1966, 156 min., 35mm) as part of the WWI series.
The most spectacular outing by the underrated master of old-school spectacles, John Guillermin, The Blue Max is both a lavish and realistic account of aerial warfare of the Great War. Breathtaking sights of dozens of real biplanes and triplanes tearing through the skies are all the more astonishing today, in an era of computer-generated special effects. But Guillermin is not only interested in faithful recreation of aerial combat. In between all the dogfighting, The Blue Max boldly descends on a personal level, where it laments World War I for the fatal blow it has dealt to the ideals of humanism and chivalry. The international cast of stars (including James Mason and Ursula Andress) is assisted by glorious CinemaScope photography and a lush orchestral score by Jerry Goldsmith.

People are now exposed to more information than ever before, provided both by technology and by increasing access to every level of education. Nichols asserts that with internet sites such as Webmd and Wikipedia; a news industry that has become a 24-hour entertainment MacHine; and "content" that refers to everything from social media posts to proven scientific theories, we are experiencing a "rejection of experts."

Philadelphia screening
2017-10-10 20:30 - 22:35 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Philadelphia (Jonathan Demme, U.S. 1993, 125 min., 35mm) as part of the ImageOut of the Archive series.
The City of Brotherly Love serves as the backdrop to Jonathan Demme's acclaimed courtroom melodrama. Ambulance chaser Joe Miller (Denzel Washington) is forced to put aside his own homophobic feelings after agreeing to represent AIDS-afflicted lawyer Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks, earning his first Academy Award) in his wrongful termination lawsuit. As the first major Hollywood film to deal head-on with the devastating impact of HIV and AIDS in the gay community, Philadelphia is a landmark of queer cinema. Though the film drew criticism for placing a heterosexual character front and center in such a story, it was undeniably effective in forcing audiences largely uneducated about the ongoing Aids crisis to confront their own prejudices and misconceptions. Demme tackles a difficult subject with his typical empathy and deep humanism, making this a highlight among the late, great director's esteemed filmography.

Mario Banana #2 screening
2017-10-11 19:30 - 20:16 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Mario Banana #2 (Andy Warhol, U.S. 1964, 46 min., 16mm) as part of the Warhol series.
With their static shots and everyday actions, Warhol's early films are deceptively artless. The two Mario Banana films, one black and white, one color, are typical: in a single 100-foot reel, drag queen Mario Montez eats a banana. Likewise, in Haircut (No. 1), Billy Name gives John Daley a haircut as Freddy Herko watches. But Warhol's superstars manage to make even the simplest actions erotic. In Soap Opera, "Girl of the Year" Baby Jane Holzer stars in Warhol's version of a daytime soap whose episodes are intercut with actual TV commercials. Provided to Warhol by TV ad man Lester Persky, these 1950s ads recall those in Warhol's early black-and-white Pop paintings.

Tyler Socash lecture: Lessons from the Trail: A Transformation After One Year on the Pacific Crest Trail, Te Araroa, and the Appalachian Trail
2017-10-11 19:30 - 21:30 | Rochester Museum and Science Center (RMSC), 657 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Adirondack Mountain Club will host a lecture by Tyler Socash titled Lessons from the Trail: A Transformation After One Year on the Pacific Crest Trail, Te Araroa, and the Appalachian Trail.
After 28 years of outdoor recreation inside the Adirondack Park, Socash went beyond the Blue Line to complete a 13-month trek across the Paciï¬c Crest Trail, New Zealand's Te Araroa, and the heralded Appalachian Trail. It's a lively tale, nearly 7,000 miles in the making, of mountaintop euphoria, unexpected trail magic, encounters with long-distance legends, heartbreak and renewal. This grand adventure into the wilderness inspired Socash to help defend the wildest remaining places in New York's Forest Preserve, namely, the newly purchased Boreas Ponds Tract. If you've ever imagined completing a thru-hike someday, this is the meeting to attend! The intricacies of thru-hiking will be discussed, but be forewarned that the photographs and the entertaining retelling of the quest may spark your own wanderlust sooner than expected.

Over the course of ten years, Crouser photographed nine ranching families in northwest Colorado, concentrating on the traditional elements of the families' lives, including eight first-person narratives by elderly ranchers in the region.

Kanal screening
2017-10-12 19:30 - 21:01 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Kanal (Andrzej Wajda, Poland 1957, 91 min., 35mm, Polish w/subtitles) as part of the Wajda series.
The second installment of Wajda's "war trilogy" shifts from depicting Polish civilian life under Nazi occupation to the portrayal of brave Home Army resistance fighters as they try to escape the pursuing Germans through the labyrinthine sewers of Warsaw. A claustrophobic study of heroism under immense pressure, Kanal is based on a true event and considered the first film ever made about the Warsaw Uprising. The screening at Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Prize, also brought Andrzej Wajda international acclaim that he would enjoy for the next sixty years.
