Darling Lili screening
2017-09-27 19:30 - 21:46 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Darling Lili (Blake Edwards, U.S. 1970, 136 min., 16mm) as part of the WWI series.
In a belated attempt to cash in on the popularity of Julie Andrews and The Sound of Music, Paramount produced this beautiful and wickedly funny spin on the Mata Hari story. Andrews plays an undercover German spy doubling as a famous British music hall singer, employing her irresistible charms to seduce high-ranking Allied soldiers and extract information from her. But her devotion to German motherland is challenged when she falls hopelessly in love with one of her victims, a dashing American flyer played by Rock Hudson in the final great role of his career. Cowritten by William Peter Blatty (of Exorcist fame) and scored by Henry Mancini, Darling Lili is one of the very last classical musicals produced by Hollywood.

The photographs imagine a world where differing realities may exist while questioning the boundaries of normal, abnormal, sane, and insane. Halpern's recent book ZZYZX begins in the desert east of Los Angeles and moves west through the city to the Pacific revealing a strange harmony of cultures and histories coexisting.

The Dryden will screen Paths of Glory (Stanley Kubrick, U.S. 1957, 88 min., 35mm) as part of the WWI series.

Dax, the benevolent leader of a platoon of WWI French soldiers who attempts to impede the actions of a maniacal general (George Macready) willing to sacrifice the lives of his men for the sake of praise and promotion. Kubrick's poetic compositions and rich character development add immeasurably to this study of men who maintain true honor and dignity amidst the futility of war.

2017-09-28 21:00 - 23:00 | Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
Charlie Parr is a roots musician like no other today. The Minnesota musician has built a frenzied following of fans around the world with his energetic performances and 12 records. On his 13th album and Red House Records debut, Stumpjumper, Charlie showcases his blistering finger-picking as he switches between acoustic guitar, dobro and banjo — and keening, cut-through-the-crowd vocals that resonate with a conviction that runs deep and true. It's the music of a self-taught guitarist and banjo player who grew up with his dad's recordings of America's musical founding fathers, including Charley Patton and Lightnin' Hopkins, Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. His heartfelt and plaintive original folk blues and traditional spirituals don't strive for authenticity: they are authentic.

2017-09-29 19:30 - 21:04 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Dying of the Light (Peter Flynn, U.S. 2015, 94 min., DCP) as part of the Labor Film Series series.
Largely unchanged for more than a century, the projection of photochemical film faces an uncertain future in the digital age. The practice of handling and projecting film is in danger of being lost, and the role of film projectionist is nearing extinction. The Dying of the Light explores the history and craft of motion picture presentation through the lives and stories of career projectionists. By turns humorous and melancholic, their candid reflections on life in the booth reveal a world that has largely gone unnoticed. The result is a loving tribute to the art and romance of the movies—and to the unseen people who have brought light to our screens.
