The Dryden will screen Under Capricorn (Alfred Hitchcock, U.S. 1949, 117 min., 35mm).

Roadmap to Apartheid screening
2015-09-28 18:45 - 20:20 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Roadmap to Apartheid (Eron Davidson, Ana Nogueira, U.S. 2012, 95 min.) as part of the 2015 Witness Palestine Film Series.
In this award-winning documentary, directors Ana Nogueira and Eron Davidson take a detailed look at the apartheid analogy often used to describe the Palestinian situation. Nogueira is a white South African and Davidson is a Jewish Israeli. Roadmap to Apartheid shows us why many Palestinians feel they are living in an Apartheid system today, and why an increasing number of people around the world agree with them. To understand the Apartheid analogy, this film provides side-by-side comparisons, noting where the analogy is useful and where it is not. The comparisons start at the beginning of the film with split-screen images showing South Africa next to the occupied Palestinian territories. The voices of South Africans, Israelis, and Palestinians share their experiences and how those experiences have personally affected them. We wonder, 'is peace possible'? The closing segment in the film examines frameworks for imagining a shared future based on freedom and equality for all people. The hopeful message at the end of this film suggests that peace is, indeed, possible.

The Girl Without a Soul screening
2015-09-29 20:00 - 21:20 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Girl Without a Soul (John H. Collins, U.S. 1917, 80 min., 35mm) with live piano accompaniment by Philip C. Carli.
John H. Collins is one of the great "What if . . . ?" figures of American cinema, a brilliantly creative filmmaker who went from being a costume department assistant to a major director within four short years before dying at the age of 31 in the 1918 influenza pandemic. Founding film curator James Card was a passionate devotee of Collins's work, and it is through his influence that George Eastman House is the principal repository of Collins's few extant films, which show both a subtle understanding of human nature and often breathtakingly daring cinematography and editing. The Girl Without a Soul stars Viola Dana (to whom Collins was married) in a dual role as twin sisters, one of whom is a gifted violinist and the other a deeply troubled girl jealous of her sister's abilities and the love bestowed upon her by their violinmaker father. This jealousy and the violinist sister's unworldliness lead both into turbulent moral conflict, which takes considerable fortitude from both to overcome.

Greetings screening
2015-09-30 20:00 - 21:28 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Greetings (Brian De Palma, U.S. 1968, 88 min., 35mm).
Greetings was Brian De Palma's first great cinematic statement. It appeared on the eve of this country's most turbulent decade since the American Civil War, and in advance of the efforts of an ostensibly "new" Hollywood to render the boundless energies of the counterculture into commodity form. Throughout this thrillingly erratic film, De Palma seems to be searching for an attitude, for a style, that could be appropriate to the strangeness and violence of his moment. He openly samples from the French New Wave and American underground filmmakers such as Andy Warhol, but also makes ample use of the particular resources available to him, from the seedy streets and characters of late-sixties Manhattan—with its infinite list of internal contradictions—to the charisma and range of a young, unknown actor named Robert De Niro. Ultimately, however, it is toward comedy that Greetings could be said to aspire. Even beyond its heady politics, its film-historical fluency, and its sharp-eyed critique of American society, Greetings invites its audience to laugh.

A group of all-singing, all-strumming ukulele players, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain reinterprets all genres of music.

Lolita. To Kill a Mockingbird. The Great Gatsby. These books and many others are, or at one time were, banned or challenged in libraries, schools, and bookstores across the globe. In 1982, the American Library Association launched Banned Books Week, an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and express ideas. More than 11,300 books have been challenged since 1982, making the event and the attention it draws to the dangers of censorshop as important as ever. In honor of this year's Banned Books Week (September 27-October 3, 2015), the River Campus Libraries is hosting a Read Out on Thursday, October 1 from 3-4 p.m. in the Q&I area of Rush Rhees Library.

Charlie Hunter Trio musical performance
2015-10-01 20:00 - 23:00 | Lovin' Cup, 300 Park Point Dr., Rochester, New York, 14623, United States
"How's this for a sketch resume for the brilliant seven-string guitarist Charlie Hunter? He came up on the music-magic Berkeley, Calif. scene in the '80s, graduated to local hero status with his bands (his famed trio, plus the Tj Kirk guitar extravaganza playing the music of Thelonious Monk, James Brown and Rahsaan Roland Kirk) and ended up getting signed by Blue Note Records, which released seven of his albums, including Songs From the Analog Playground that introduced to most people the singing talent of the young Norah Jones. He walked away from the major label for his freedom and after some indie label action has been totally in charge of his music, releasing albums on his own Charlie Hunter Music imprint. His new album, Let the Bells Ring On, features collaborators from his previous projects—trombonist Curtis Fowlkes and drummer Bobby Previte—who together join Charlie on a new journey. I've followed his career from his days playing with Michael Franti's Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy project in 1992 and his very first album, 1993's self-titled trio release, and remarkably each new recorded excursion found him getting better and stronger as a composer, bandleader and of course unique guitarist who plays rhythm, lead and bass (why he plays a seven-string ax). His new show that celebrates the new album is highly recommended." —Dan Ouellette
