While an Artist is many things, they are first and foremost a human being on a unique journey. Artists, as it is for all creatives, have the responsibility of simultaneously creating a culture and questioning culture. Art should make you feel, think and respond to the world in a different way after encountering it. Artists are healers, thinkers, and visionaries. In this series, Photo AIRS, Megan May, will take an in-depth look at several aspects of her own theory and practice of the Artists place in society today. The artist needs community and the community needs artists. Period. Please join us for an evening focused on the importance of collaboration, community and social interaction for a healthy art practice.

Generational conflict between Nri (Non-Resident Indian) parents and their children is a common dilemma in Bollywood films. Despite moving their families and/or raising their (often foreign-born) children in a different culture where new values are adopted, the parents still insist that their children return to the homeland and marry a man or woman with traditional Hindustani values. And the conflict begins. What happens when you find a way to outsmart your parents? Who really pays? Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif star in this interesting twist on a common trope, with filming locations in Brighton, Marlow, and London, England.

2019-01-20 19:00 - 20:24 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Broadway Danny Rose (Woody Allen, U.S. 1984, 84 min., 35mm) as part of the L'chaim: Celebrating Jewish Life series.
In a film that exults in the tradition of Jewish storytelling, Woody Allen added an extra air of authenticity by casting several revered comics, his own manager, and the owner of the Carnegie Deli as themselves. Allen, Mia Farrow, and Nick Apollo Forte star in this black-and-white comedy about a love triangle and a jilted gangster. Danny Rose (Allen) is a dedicated and hapless New York talent agent who represents a washed-up lounge singer, Lou Canova (Forte), who is finally making a comeback. Lou convinces Danny to accompany his mistress, Tina Vitale (Farrow), as her beard at an important gig at the Waldorf so that she can attend without raising the suspicions of his wife. After Tina's jealous ex-boyfriend mistakes Danny for her real boyfriend, trouble ensues. Roger Ebert praised the performances of the three main actors as "wonderfully off-the-wall characterizations" in one of Woody Allen's best comedies of errors.
