Destinacija_Serbistan (Logbook_Serbistan) screening
2017-05-16 19:30 - 21:04 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Destinacija_Serbistan (Logbook_Serbistan, Å½elimir Å½ilnik, Serbia 2015, 94 min, DCP, various languages w/subtitles) with filmmaker Å½elimir Å½ilnik in person.
Before the recent European migrant drama exploded into a humanitarian disaster that was consequently exploited by both media and politicians, the ever-watchful Å½elimir Å½ilnik noticed something amiss in his native Serbia: a sudden increase of migrants from war-torn and poverty-stricken areas of North Africa and the Middle East. Unlike several other films and news reports on the same subject, which chose to see migrants as an anonymous horde that should either be pitied or feared, Å½ilnik provides ample space for individuals to introduce themselves and display their values, so that the viewers can identify with them and begin to understand their struggles.

Melanie musical performance
2017-05-16 20:00 - 23:00 | Lovin' Cup, 300 Park Point Dr., Rochester, New York, 14623, United States
Melanie, who became the voice of an era in one magical instant onstage at Woodstock, has been putting the pieces in order. Pieces of a career, scattered by the winds of experience and assembled again by the force of love into the most personal and brilliant moments of her musical journey. Melanie is poised to enlighten new generations about what it means to sing with both passion and eloquence, to write at once with intelligence and emotion, and to inspire through song… and nobody does this better than Melanie. Others learned this that night at Woodstock, where as a New York kid barely known outside of the coffeehouse circuit in Greenwich Village, she sang her song "Beautiful People" and inspired the first panorama of candles and cigarette lighters ever raised at a concert event. That, in turn, moved the young singer to write "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain"), which sold more than one million copies in 1970 and prompted Billboard, Cashbox, Melody Maker, Record World, and Bravo to anoint her as female vocalist of the year. Her single "Brand New Key," an infectious romp about freedom and roller skates, topped the charts in 1971.

Pretty Woman screening
2017-05-17 19:30 - 21:29 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Pretty Woman (Garry Marshall, U.S. 1990, 119 min., 35mm) as part of the Eastman Entertains series.
One of the quintessential romantic movies of the 1990s, Pretty Woman is a compulsively watchable and immensely entertaining riff on the ancient Cinderella myth of Prince Charming on a white horse. In a breakthrough role, Julia Roberts shines as a kindhearted hooker rescued by a wealthy businessman in the suave shape of Richard Gere. This colorful catalogue of irresistible clichés has charmed critics and international audiences alike, while acquiring the status of a proper camp classic in certain circles.

Na srebrnym globie (On the Silver Globe) screening
2017-05-18 19:30 - 22:07 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Na srebrnym globie (On the Silver Globe, Andrzej Å»uÅ‚awski, Poland 1987, 157 min., DCP, Polish w/subtitles) as part of the Andrzej Å»uÅ‚awski series.
Four astronauts settle on an alien planet in an attempt to create their own paradise, free of the weaknesses and vices of modern civilization. The ambitious concept is quickly warped by their degenerate descendants who unknowingly repeat all the errors made by the human race already: establishing hierarchical society, revering false gods, striving for expansion, and entering conflict with neighbors. A liberal adaptation of the first two tomes of the Lunar Trilogy by Polish modernist writer Jerzy Å»uÅ‚awski (incidentally also the director's great-uncle), On the Silver Globe is one of the most innovative and philosophical science-fiction films of all time, comparable to such classics as Tarkovsky's Solaris, Lang's Metropolis, or Kubrick's 2001.

The Grahams musical performance
2017-05-18 20:00 - 22:00 | Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
Alyssa and Doug Graham have spent nearly their entire lives exploring music together. Friends since she was 7 and he was 9, they became a couple in their teens, then husband and wife. Somewhere along the way, they also became The Grahams, a dynamic Americana duo who've married their love of adventure with a desire to build on foundations laid by their musical predecessors. Their first song-crafting expedition, along the Mississippi's Great River Road, became their 2013 debut, Riverman's Daughter. For its follow-up, they rode the rails—and wound up recording not only a studio album, but a documentary and live album on the move and in venues from Sun Studio to Amtrak's famed City of New Orleans train.

I Called Him Morgan screening
2017-05-18 21:30 - 23:02 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen I Called Him Morgan (Kasper Collin, Sweden / U.S. 2016, 92 min.) followed by a discussion with director Kasper Collin as part of the One Take Film Festival.
On a snowy night in February 1972, legendary jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan was shot dead by his common-law wife, Helen, during a gig at a club in New York City. The murder sent shockwaves through the jazz community, and the memory of the event still haunts the people who knew the Morgans. Helen served time for the crime and, following her release, retreated into obscurity. Over 20 years later, a chance encounter led her to give a remarkable interview. Helen's revealing audio "testimony" acts as a refrain throughout the film, which draws together a wealth of archival photographs and footage, interviews with friends and bandmates and incredible jazz music to tell the ill-fated pair's story. Part true-crime tale, part love story, and an all-out musical treat, I Called Him Morgan is a chronicle of the dramatic destinies of two unique personalities and the music that brought them together.

Short Films, Long Lunch screenings
2017-05-19 12:00 - 13:23 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen a program from the One Take Film Festival titled Short Films, Long Lunch featuring:

Thanks For The Memories (Max Mooney, 14 min.): "Pat McQueen is an 86 year old woman suffering from Alzheimer's. The film follows the disease from her perspective as she becomes more and more isolated."
Thin Ice (Nathaniel Silverman, 15 min.): "Thin Ice tells the story of the Zyra family from Rochester, New York and their experience with the sport of sled hockey and their efforts to start a team in Rochester."
Salt Of The Earth (Clara Riedlinger, 15 min.): "Salt of the Earth is a short documentary about the small town of Watkins Glen, NY. It explores ideas of rural american's perspectives on themselves through interviews with Rosanne Doane and lyrical imagery of the Upstate Landscape."
Fueling The Fail (T.C. Pellett, 1 min.): "Originally part of Cohber Printing's 'Fuel' calendar project for 2017, filmmaker T.C. Pellett was selected along with 11 other people to create a piece on the simple theme of Fail. All participants had a level playing field in that each had to use a smartphone and the final edit had to be :60 or less. For his entry, T.C. decided to tell the story of his Father's long gestating project of rebuilding his dream street rod, but with what he felt the car's perspective would be instead of himself or his father. The result is a small reminder that failure is not to something to fear, but to fuel, with creativity and never-ending passion."
Driving Around Rochester With Rick (Matt Ehlers, 5 min.): "Driving Around Rochester With Rick was created to support the Rick McKee Hock annual artist residency at Visual Studies Workshop. The 5—minute tour of the city was edited from material produced by Lauren Bon and Metabolic Studio during a trip to Rochester, NY in 2013."
Unless You've Walked In My Shoes: Barbara Horton (Julie Gelfand, 7 min.): "Barbara Horton spent 25 years in a home she loved. Her son was born there. Her husband died there. That's when the problems began. In 2016, Barbara and her son lost their home to bank greed, transporting them from hope, to defiance, to despair as their lives were reduced to 3 storage garages filled with what was once their lives."
Pig (Holly McMahon, 21 min.): "Pig explores the dangers of the teacup pig scam and the lifelong bonds that form between humans and pigs"
Because Of Women Like Her (William Schwappacher, 5 min.): "On Election Day, 2016, thousands made a pilgrimage to grave of leading suffragist Susan B. Anthony, to celebrate the promise of a woman being elected as president of the United States for the first time in history. 'Because of Women Like Her' captures a remarkable day of hope, reflection and solidarity."
