The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps—ANZAC—were part of a massive Allied effort to aid Russia in preventing Ottoman Empire from invading the Caucasus. Peter Weir's sweeping and poignant Gallipoli re-creates that battle and the dreadful price that was paid by both Allied and Central Powers. Weir narrows his focus to the friendship between two young Australian volunteers—Jack and Archy, both competitive runners, who together share the horrors of war, the value of loyalty, and the bond of kinship. As Jack and Archy, Mel Gibson and Mark Lee represent all the young men whose lives are irrevocably changed by combat.

A native of California's central valley, Steinbeck understood well the conflict between itinerant workers, led by Wobblies and Communists, and the wealthy growers. The film adheres closely to the novel's narrative, exploring social issues addressed by Steinbeck here and in Of Mice and Men and, more fully, in The Grapes of Wrath.

2017-10-23 17:15 - 19:04 | Rush Rhees Library at the University of Rochester, 755 Library Rd., Rochester, New York, 14627, United States

Last spring, a European film production company — Arte Geie Zeta Productions —located in Paris and Hamburg shot a documentary film on the outlaw hero Robin Hood. They sent the director and camera people to England, Australia, and here to the UofR in April — to interview Professor Thomas Hahn and get stills for some of the significant items from his extensive Robin Hood collection. The footage was edited in post-production over the following months, and the finished film was released at the end of July. Join us for a screening of the film (which runs about 50 minutes) and a conversation with Tom Hahn afterward: we'll discuss Robin Hood as a media creature, his stature and history in popular culture and in the academy, his most memorable incarnations, and maybe even settle the question of whether he was "real"!

The Cat and the Canary screening
2017-10-24 19:30 - 20:54 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Cat and the Canary (Paul Leni, U.S. 1927, 84 min., 16mm) with live piano accompaniment by Philip C. Carli as part of the Silent Tuesdays series.
Paul Leni came from Germany to work for Universal in 1927 and was really the founder of the studio's reputation for horror films, starting with this iconic adaptation of John Willard's hugely popular "old dark house" play The Cat and the Canary (which surprisingly still gets an occasional outing on the stage even today). Leni gave Willard's relatively straightforward scare-stuff a strong sense of the unreal and eerie, investing it with a creepiness amounting to near-perversity. This is the film that started it all: relatives gathering in a ghostly house to hear a will read, sinister servants, billowing curtains in empty corridors, vanishing bodies replaced by reappearing corpses, horrible faces appearing unexpectedly, comic relief to "take the edge off" (it doesn't), and a beautiful heroine (Laura La Plante) at the center of it all whose fate hangs in uneasy balance, all done with Leni's darkly imaginative style and Gilbert Warrenton's fluid cinematography. There are pleasurable chills aplenty to be had here.
