2019-04-23 19:30 - 21:18 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Blow Out (Brian De Palma, U.S. 1981, 108 min., 35mm) as part of the Movies in the Movies series.
Not all films are made to be seen. John Travolta plays Jack Terry, a sound effects technician on a low-budget horror film. While collecting ambient sounds for a film, he witnesses a car careening off a cliff, killing the driver. He helps the passenger get to the hospital and later discovers that his microphone may have picked up evidence of foul play. When his audio is paired with stills taken by a bystander, the evidence seems irrefutable, and Terry is drawn into a political conspiracy involving a psychopathic hitman. De Palma remakes Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up, by way of Hitchcock.

Wrestle screening (2019-Apr-23 @ 8:40 p.m.)
2019-04-23 20:40 - 22:16 | Cinema Theatre, 957 S. Clinton Ave., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
The Cinema will screen Wrestle (Suzannah Herbert, Lauren Belfer, U.S. 2018, 96 min.)
Hoop Dreams goes to the mat in this intimate, coming-of-age documentary about four members of a high-school wrestling team at Huntsville's J.O. Johnson High School, a longstanding entry on Alabama's list of failing schools. Coached by teacher Chris Scribner, teammates Jailen, Jamario, Teague, and Jaquan each face challenges far beyond a shot at the State Championship: splintered family lives, drug use, teenage pregnancy, mental health struggles, and run-ins with the law threaten to derail their success on the mat and lock any doors that could otherwise open. Tough-love coach Scribner isn't off the hook, either; he must come to terms with his own past conflicts while unwittingly wading into the complexities of race, class and privilege in the South. Director Suzannah Herbert and Co-Director Lauren Belfer captured over 650 hours of footage during the course of the team's final season to create this closely observed, deeply affecting depiction of growing up disadvantaged in America today.

2019-04-24 19:30 - 21:10 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Westerner (William Wyler, U.S. 1940, 100 min., 35mm) as part of the United Artists Centennial series.
Producer Samuel Goldwyn's last film for United Artists may be his best. Cole Harden (Gary Cooper) makes his living as a wandering cowhand until he is falsely accused of horse theft and brought before Judge Roy Bean (Academy Award winner Walter Brennan). Noting Bean's affection for the British actress Lily Langtry, who is touring the United States at the time, Harden claims to have met the actress and procured a lock of her hair, which he would be willing to give to Bean. This buys him enough time for the true horse thief to be found, but when Harden falls in love and sides with the homesteaders against the cattlemen, Harden and Bean will again come face-to-face.

When the Taliban put a bounty on Afghan director Hassan Fazili's head, he is forced to flee with his wife and two young daughters. Over the course of their multi-year saga in search of safety, the family grasped onto the only means they had to assert control: their camera-phones.
As they experienced increasingly degrading circumstances, the family latched on to filmmaking as a way to not just survive, but retain their humanity. Midnight Traveler is a gripping vérité story made by a family on the run. Their unique access and artistic vision provide an intimate portrait of a loving family and the myriad of fellow travelers they meet on their odyssey.

2019-04-25 19:30 - 20:56 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Exploits of Elaine (Louis Gasnier, George B. Seitz, U.S. 1914, 86 min., 35mm) with live piano by Philip C. Carli as part of the Finger Lakes Film Trail series.
Twenty-five years ago, The Exploits of Elaine became the first serial to be honored with a place on the U.S. National Film Registry. It was also the first serial produced by Ted and Leo Wharton, working out of Ithaca, New York. Starring Pearl White, who did most of her own stunts, the serial follows Elaine, who, with the help of Dr. Craig Kennedy, the "American Sherlock Holmes," tracks down her father's murderer, known only as "The Clutching Hand." The heroic duo use modern and beyond-modern detecting gadgets (including fingerprints!) to ferret out the villain, inspiring not only numerous serials to come, but also adventure films such as Raiders of the Lost Ark. These first four episodes highlight a little-known piece of film history residing in Central New York that still resonates with audiences more than a century later.

Chronicling the extraordinary rise of one of the most colorful and controversial religious movements in American history, Hail Satan? is an inspiring and entertaining documentary from acclaimed director Penny Lane (Nuts!, Our Nixon). When media-savvy members of the Satanic Temple organize a series of public actions designed to advocate for religious freedom and challenge corrupt authority, they prove that with little more than a clever idea, a mischievous sense of humor, and a few rebellious friends, you can speak truth to power in some truly profound ways.
As charming and funny as it is thought-provoking, Hail Satan? offers a timely look at a group of often misunderstood outsiders whose unwavering commitment to social and political justice has empowered thousands of people around the world.

More than 40 years later, these aging super fans are still going strong, befriending their favorite musicians, selling band merchandise as volunteers, housing touring rockers in their toy museum-like home and traveling all over to catch live shows. Director Chris Cassidy's upbeat portrait is about enjoying life at its fullest, with a punk-rock edge.
Now more than ever, the music they love has become the one thing that keeps them going. The gigs, the artists, and the body-jolting road trips are what Dennis and Lois live for. We should all live our lives so fully.

The Dryden will screen Le retour du héros (Return of the Hero, Laurent Tirard, France 2018, 90 min., DCP, French w/subtitles).
Jean Dujardin (The Artist) brings his comic sensibility to the role of Captain Neuville, a womanizing soldier set to marry the young Pauline before being called off to the front of the Napoleonic Wars. He promises to write Pauline every day, but she receives no word from the front. Pauline's sister, Elizabeth (Mélanie Laurent), fearing the worst, takes up the captain's correspondence to let Pauline down easy. Years later, when Neuville returns broke and disheveled, Elizabeth needs to think fast to synthesize the legend she has created with the man who has returned. Rooted in French farce and American screwball, this period comedy serves up the best Dujardin role in years.
