After four years together, Daniel and Christopher are just one day away from being married. There's still much to be done, especially since control-freak Daniel (Anthony Rapp, Rent, Adventures in Babysitting) won't let anyone help him, despite already working 50 or more hours a week. That's par for the course though, since as Daniel's good friend Jacob (Mackenzie Astin, TV's The Facts of Life and Scandal) says, Daniel's not happy unless he's living on the edge of disaster.

Having seen his boyfriend die of the disease, he's kept himself pretty buttoned up when it comes to dating. And life in general. When he deposits a $100 birthday check from his mother, he unwittingly kicks his very sparse bank account up over the limit his health insurance allows, and his coverage is dropped. Not a good thing when your meds cost $3,000 a month. What follows is a low-key quirky comedy that is sure to charm its audience with its black humor.

"Boston-based filmmaker Luther Price makes consciousness-puncturing works that, viewed once, may never be seen again. Roughly hewn yet precisely composed, Price's celluloid constructions have long made him an icon in the experimental cinema world." — Andrew Lampert, Anthology Film Archives Truly an auteur within the contemporary handmade film movement, Luther Price presents a unique program of original works on Super 8, 16mm, and slide film, much of which has been painted, scratched, and/or buried in the garden.

Boom! screening (2016-Oct-16 @ 2 p.m.)
2016-10-16 14:00 - 15:50 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Boom! (Joseph Losey, U.K. 1968, 110 min., 16mm).
Tennessee Williams never did tread gently over the harder affairs of life. His unique approach to the hovering fog of impending death is obvious in the narrative of Boom!, from which Joseph Losey depicted a hot, stressed, and colorful depiction of mortality. The sun seems to burn throughout the whole film, and the addition of the two leads, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, certainly does nothing to diminish the smoldering heat of the picture. Behind the glistening jewels and the elaborate headdresses one can see the intensity of a very humanizing film. This touching adaptation of Williams's The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore proves that sometimes we have to accept what, or who, we are offered in our time of need.

War on the Docks: Strikes & Struggles of Chilean Port Workers discussion with Nelson Francino Valdes
2016-10-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Flying Squirrel Community Space, 285 Clarissa St., Rochester, New York, 14608, United States
After a vicious military coup in 1973, Chile became a neoliberal test subject of epic proportions. The generals and capitalist economists involved developed a brand new constitution to suppress labor activity and to privatise the schools, healthcare system, and other social services. Though thousands of leftists were tortured, murdered, and disappeared, the end of the dictatorship has seen the rise of several combative social movements, including the workers struggle. Several years of militant strikes have not only pushed for a better standard of living for many of the exploited workforce, but have challenged the oppressive labor laws limiting activity. The port workers have been leading this struggle and have been heavily influenced by the Anarchist movement in Chile. To this end it has been building a rank and file base from which to fight for class independence from Chile's ruling political parties. Nelson Francino Valdes is the President of the Federation of Portworkers of Iquique. He was involved in several struggles/strikes, including a month long national strike in 2014. That year, Valdes was also a featured speaker at the Labor Notes conference in Chicago. He is currently Chile's delegate to the upcoming International Dockworkers Council in Miami. Nelson will share the stories of how the port workers have won victories through militant rank and file organizing; the importance of strategic workplace organizing that is multisectoral — uniting labor, education, and neighbor struggles; and the current international fight against the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal.

2016-10-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Brighton Memorial Library, 2300 Elmwood Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
The 2016 Presidential campaign has generated renewed interest in a provision in the U.S. tax code known as the Johnson Amendment that prohibits tax-exempt organizations, including churches and other houses of worship, from endorsing or opposing political candidates. The Republican candidate for President has promised his evangelical supporters that he will abolish this provision, should he be elected. Is this a good or bad idea? These local religious leaders will discuss this question and other church/state separation issues on October 17:

Dr. Marvin McMickle, President of the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School Rev.
Richard Gilbert, Minister Emeritus of the First Unitarian Church of Rochester
Hamid Malik, Imam of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Rochester

Show Girl screening
2016-10-18 20:00 - 21:01 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Show Girl (Alfred Santell, U.S. 1928, 61 min., DCP).
This very rare film, starring famous silent screen actress Alice White, was considered lost until last year. White plays a young showgirl named Dixie Dugan (a famous comic strip name at the time) who fakes her own kidnapping in order to gain publicity. The movie was so well received that a sequel was made in 1930, also starring White. Today's audiences are fortunate for the rescuing of such an important early comedy, and the film itself, complete with cabaret costumes and elaborate dance numbers, is sure to be a wonderful sight to behold. Warner Brothers digital restoration includes the original Vitaphone soundtrack!

Pierrot le Fou screening
2016-10-19 18:45 - 20:35 | Hoyt Auditorium, University of Rochester Campus, Rochester, New York, United States
UofR's Department of Modern Languages and Cultures will screen Pierrot le Fou (Jean-Luc Godard, France 1965, 110 min.) in Hoyt Auditorium as part of the The Tournées Film Festival: ABCDs in Contemporary French and Francophone Cinema.
Pierrot le Fou (1965) is arguably the masterpiece of Jean-Luc Godard's glorious first period, that extraordinary burst of creativity that extends from his landmark debut Breathless to the political films of the late sixties. In recounting the whirlwind romance between wealthy Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and his babysitter Marianne (Anna Karina), followed by their escape to the south of France with gangsters on their trail, Godard walks the thin line between sixties liberation and nihilism. Indeed, Pierrot le Fou is full of Godardian dialectic: it is his sunniest film, but possibly his darkest, his most romantic, yet also his most disillusioned, a discombobulating combination of pop sensibility, boy's own adventure, and trenchant critique of decadent European society and American intervention in Southeast Asia. This is a film of legendary moments—tough-guy director Samuel Fuller telling Ferdinand that, "film is a battleground. Love, hate, violence, action, death. In one word, emotions"; Marianne turning her seaside indolence into musical comedy by coming up with the charming song "Ma Ligne de Chance"; and Ferdinand painting his face blue—but what is most striking is its constant freshness, its ability to surprise and seduce no matter how many times you've watched it. A feast of primary colors, Pierrot le Fou is simply one of the greatest films ever made, the quintessence of cinema's pleasures and challenges.
