Along the way, he finds his true love at a should-be Thanksgiving dinner. Brainchild of ambitious screenwriter and star Sylvester Stallone, this sleeper hit appeared out of nowhere to receive ten Oscar nominations, winning three (including Best Picture and Best Director against such heavyweight contenders as All the President's Men, Network, and Taxi Driver), and mutate into one of the most famous, profitable, and beloved international film franchises of all times.

2017-11-25 19:30 - 21:38 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Topaz (Alfred Hitchcock, U.S. 1969, 128 min., 35mm) as part of the Hitchcock in Winter series.
Hitchcock's second venture into the murky world of Cold War espionage is an elaborate yarn of a French intelligence officer who becomes involved both in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and then plays a key role in breaking up an international Soviet spy ring. Unhappy with the experience of working with two superstars on his previous spy thriller (Paul Newman and Julie Andrews in Torn Curtain), Hitchcock surrounded himself with a top-notch international cast of slightly less known but equally talented actors, such as Frederick Stafford, Michel Piccoli, and Philippe Noiret.

I Am Not Your Negro screening (2017-Nov-27 @ 7 p.m.)
2017-11-27 19:00 - 20:35 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen I Am Not Your Negro (Raoul Peck, Switzerland / France / Belgium / U.S. 2016, 95 min.) followed by a panel discussion led by Kevin Hicks with Gary Dewitt Marshall, Omobowale Ayorinde, and Debora McDell Hernandez as part of the Indie Lens Pop-Up series.
In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his new endeavour: the writing of his final book, Remember This House, recounting the lives and successive assassinations of his friends Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Baldwin was not able to complete the book before his death, and the unfinished manuscript was entrusted to director Raoul Peck (Moloch Tropical, Murder in Pacot) by the writer's estate. Built exclusively around Baldwin's words, Peck's I Am Not Your Negro delves into the complex legacy of three lives (and deaths) that permanently marked the American social and political landscape. Framing the unfinished work as a radical narration about race in America, Peck matches Baldwin's lyrical rhetoric with rich archival footage of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, and connects these historical struggles for justice and equality to the present-day movements that have taken shape in response to the killings of young African-American men including Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Mike Brown, and Amir Brooks. Exploring what it means to be Black in America today, Peck reflects on the legacy of racial violence that still permeates the country. In Baldwin's words, "You cannot lynch me and keep me in ghettos without becoming something monstrous yourselves. And furthermore, you give me a terrifying advantage: you never had to look at me; I had to look at you. I know more about you than you know about me. Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." By revealing the deep connections between past and present injustice, I Am Not Your Negro weaves an epic narrative about America's irrational relationship with skin colour — a relationship that would be absurd were it not so tragic.

Il Venditore Di Medicine (The Medicine Seller) screening
2017-11-28 19:00 - 20:45 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Il Venditore Di Medicine (The Medicine Seller, Antonio Morabito, Italy / France 2013, 105 min.) as part of the Italian Film Series.
Claudio Santamaria (Romanzo Criminale) stars in Antonio Morabito's gripping new drama about a drug salesman for an ultracompetitive pharmaceutical giant, who influences doctors and pharmacists to push their brands by offering expensive gifts in a world where profit reigns above human decency. 40-year-old sales rep, Bruno (Santamaria), suffers unbearable pressure at the hands of his tyrannical boss (the brilliant Isabella Ferrari, The Great Beauty), which is proven when his broken and stressed coworker commits suicide. However, Bruno presses on, continuing to shamelessly bribe clients into sales. As things at work grow increasingly cutthroat, Bruno experiences another sort of tension at home when his wife, Anna (Evita Ciri), stops taking her birth control pills against his wishes.

Muteki (Foghorn) screening
2017-11-28 19:30 - 21:35 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Muteki (Foghorn, Minoru Murata, Japan 1934, 125 min., 35mm, Japanese intertitles w/subtitles) with live piano by Philip C. Carli as part of the Silent Tuesdays series.
Chiyokichi, a young man, hates Cooper, an American who looks down on the Japanese. Chiyokichi picks Cooper's pocket and is caught. He is brought to Cooper's house and becomes his slave, and a riveting tale of passion, hatred, and revenge unfolds. Minoru Murata played a crucial role in Japanese film history in the 1920s; his ability to build emotional atmospheres in purely visual terms can be fully appreciated in this masterwork of the late silent era. Based on a novel by Jiro Osaragi, the film evokes the strange atmosphere of 1870s Yokohama, with its mixture of Japanese and Western cultures. Murata's goal was to reconstruct the world of Western literature and theatre via the motion picture, and his efforts played an important part in modernizing cinema style in Japan in the early 1920s.
