Takeshi Kitano strayed from his reliable gangster formula once again with Dolls, an exquisitely beautiful omnibus of three loosely connected, lyrical stories inspired by the everlasting emotions expressed by the precious dolls of Bunraku theater. Three stories delicately intertwined by the beauty of sadness. Three stories of undying love.

Caché screening
2016-12-15 20:00 - 21:58 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen the darkly disturbing film Caché (Michael Haneke, France/Austria/Germany/Italy 2005, 118 min., 35mm, French w/subtitles) as part of the (In)visibility series—just 5 days shy of exactly 10 years since the last screening at the Dryden.
One after another, ominous surveillance tapes, shot from a hidden camera across the street, arrive on a French family's doorstep. Viewing their private lives on television, through the increasingly intimate gaze of their voyeur, the family recoils and slowly begins to unravel. This setup would suggest a typical paranoid thriller, but Austrian auteur Michael Haneke (Palm d'or winner for 2009's The White Ribbon) studiously avoids the genre's clichés and pitfalls. Rather than generate horror through a pulse-pounding score and fussy camera work, Haneke instead reveals the horrors latent in our personal and collective memories.

2016-12-16 19:00 - 20:47 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Footloose (Herbert Ross, U.S. 1984, 107 min.) as part of the Mondo Movie Series.
Classic tale of teenage rebellion and repression features a delightful combination of dance choreography and realistic and touching performances. When teenager Ren McCormack and his family move from big-city Chicago to a small Midwestern town, he's in for a real case of culture shock. Though he tries hard to fit in, the streetwise Ren can't quite believe he's living in a place where rock music and dancing are illegal. However, there is one small pleasure: Ariel Moore, a troubled but lovely blonde with a jealous boyfriend. And a Bible-thumping minister, who is responsible for keeping the town dance-free. Ren and his classmates want to do away with this ordinance, especially since the senior prom is around the corner, but only Ren has the courage to initiate a battle to abolish the outmoded ban and revitalize the spirit of the repressed townspeople. Fast-paced drama is filled with such now-famous hit songs as the title track and "Let's Hear It for the Boy"

Peter and the Farm screening
2016-12-16 20:00 - 21:31 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Peter and the Farm (Tony Stone, U.S. 2016, 91 min., DCP).
Peter Dunning is the proud proprietor of Mile Hill Farm, which sits on 187 idyllic acres in Vermont. The land's 38 harvests have seen the arrivals and departures of three wives and four children, leaving Peter with only animals and memories. The arrival of a film crew causes him to confront his history and his legacy, passing along hard-won agricultural wisdom even as he doubts the meaning of the work he is fated to perform until death. Haunted by alcoholism and regret, Peter veers between elation and despair, often suggesting to the filmmakers his own suicide as a narrative device. He is a tragedian on a stage it has taken him most of his life to build, and which now threatens to collapse from under him. At once a postcard from paradise and a cautionary tale for our times, Peter and the Farm sifts through the potential energy of a human life, that which is used and that which is squandered.

And then some of it goes into landfills. The Abundance Holiday Swap at the Co-op is a community swap event to help reduce the stress and waste that sometimes comes with the holiday season. It's also your chance to donate lightly used toys, books, and winter wear and to take something that's new-to-you. You never know, you might find the perfect gift!

2016-12-17 13:00 - 14:30 | Rundel Library Building, 115 South Ave., Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
In the Rundel Auditorium on the 3rd floor of the Rundel Library Building is Rochester's Rich History with Michael Keene discussing Murder, Mayhem and Madness: 150 Years of Crime and Punishment in Western New York.
Come hear local author Michael Keene tell legends of Rochester's spiritual and occult past, such as the rise of the anti-Masonic movement and the story behind the execution of Rochester's first murderer. Born from the chilly water of Lake Ontario and the Genesee River, Rochester, New York, has been the cradle of the modern spiritualist and anti-Masonic movements and seven new religious sects and communes. This unusual history has given rise to strange legends and shrouded the city in mystery. Was the corner of Main and Elm Streets – McCurdy's Department Store – cursed? Who was Captain William Morgan, and why did he suddenly disappear? What stories lie behind Rochester's first murder and the execution of William Lyman's killer? Native American tales, the history of the infamous Fox sisters and the secrets of the Freemasons are woven into these and other legends of Rochester. Join local author Michael Keene for a fascinating look at the spiritual and the occult in Rochester.

One of the truly legendary musicals in the history of Broadway, Merrily We Roll Along opened to enormous fanfare in 1981, and closed after sixteen performances. Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened draws back the curtain on the extraordinary drama of that show's creation — and tells the stories of the hopeful young performers whose lives were transformed by it. Directed by Lonny Price, a member of the original cast, the film is a bittersweet meditation on the choices we all make, and the often unexpected consequences of those choices.
