He was one of the great twentieth century American playwrights, and Tennessee Williams' private persona is shown to have been just as fascinating as his plays in this delightful, moving, and incisive ninety minute drama. The play is structured as an interview with a reporter, to whose unheard questions Williams responds directly to the audience as if they are doing the asking. We learn of the struggles of his early years, his first successes, the price of his fame and his later years of dissolution and decline, all in Williams' delightfully witty style. Part of the Rainbow Theater Festival.

Die arme Jenny (Poor Jenny), Hintertreppe (Backstairs) screening
2015-11-17 20:00 - 21:16 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Die arme Jenny (Poor Jenny, Urban Gad, Germany 1912, 24 min., 35mm, German intertitles w/ English subtitles), and Hintertreppe (Backstairs, Leopold Jessner and Paul Leni, Germany 1921, 52 min., 35mm, English intertitles) with live piano accompaniment by Philip C. Carli.
Poor Jenny is a stunning example of Danish silent superstar Asta Nielsen's first work in Germany, typically dark in its story of a young woman's decline into personal ruin and finely directed by her husband, Urban Gad.
Backstairs is the earliest example of the intimate psychological film of the German silent cinema genre Kammerspielfilm, which takes its name from the theater of Max Reinhardt, the Kammerspiel, at which spectators (no more than 300) could perceive the smallest, subtlest details of gestures and movement. Scenarist Karl Mayer was a specialist in this "chamber play" form of filmic character study. His most famous script was for Murnau's Last Laugh (1924), which shares with Backstairs the characteristics of Kammerspielfilm, including the suppression of explanatory or dialogue titles and the thematic focus on drab lower-middle-class social existence. The drama in Backstairs involves three people: a housemaid absorbed in everyday chores (Henny Porten), her lover who has promised to write her from afar (played by director-to-be Wilhelm Dieterle), and a partly paralyzed postman who morbidly desires the girl and intercepts her letters. The directors are Leopold Jessner, second only to Riefenstahl as the most progressive stage director of the period, and Paul Leni, who later made Waxworks in Germany and The Cat and the Canary in Hollywood.

Underground screening
2015-11-18 20:00 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Underground (Emile de Antonio, Mary Lampson, Haskell Wexler, 1976, 87 min., 16mm).
On May Day, 1975, celebrated documentary filmmaker Emile de Antonio, Oscar-winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler, and film editor Mary Lampson recorded interviews with Weatherpeople Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Kathy Boudin, Jeff Jones, and Cathy Wilkerson at a safe house in Los Angeles. Designed to promote the Weather Underground's anti-racist, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist ideology of international revolution, the film could not show its subjects' faces due to their fugitive status, so the filmmakers staged their interviews through screens and with mirrors. The resulting film is far more than long sequences of displaced talking heads, but is intercut with leftist documentaries of the moment, including work by Chris Marker, Cinda Firestone, Third World Newsreel, Jane Fonda's Indochina Peace Campaign, and others. Underground not only depicts the shadowy interior of a clandestine revolutionary cell, but also demonstrates the internationalist zeal animating them.

Public Forum on Certificate of Occupancy Interior Inspection Waiver
2015-11-19 17:30 - 19:00 | City Hall, 30 Church St, Rochester, New York, 14614, United States
In City Council Chambers at City Hall is a Public Forum on Certificate of Occupancy Interior Inspection Waiver.
The Rochester City Council will be holding a Public Input Forum regarding the draft Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) Waiver Amendment that the Administration would like to submit to the Council for consideration. This forum will be held on Thursday, November 19, 2015 from 5:30 p.m. — 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, located at 30 Church Street in Downtown Rochester. Under the proposed guidelines, an adult occupant residing in a single family rental dwelling could obtain a waiver of the interior portion of the C of O inspection as long as the dwelling meets all of the necessary criteria. In this scenario the C of O would be required to be renewed after three years, rather than the usual six-year term. This will provide a systematic means of monitoring a change in tenancy.
