The Trotsky screening
2015-10-02 20:00 - 21:54 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Trotsky (Jacob Tierney, Canada 2009, 114 min., Blu-ray).
Like most high schoolers, Leon Bronstein (Jay Baruchel) is having an identity crisis. What differentiates Leon, however, is that he believes he is the reincarnation of Soviet thinker Leon Trotsky, predestined to follow the same path as his namesake. When sentenced to public school as punishment for staging a hunger strike in his father's factory, Leon just sees it as another step toward the fulfillment of his destiny. Director Jacob Tierney cleverly weaves the pillars of the real Trotsky's life with the tribulations of a passionate high schooler by coupling the awkwardness of our formative years with the proletarian struggles of yesteryear.

2015-10-03 18:00 - 21:00 | Artist Next Door, 250 N. Goodman St. #214, Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
This is an opening celebration of the new studio space in the Anderson Arts Building (#214). There will be an installation of fabricated objects and screen prints created by me, Bill Klingensmith—MYDARNDEST. The concept of this work is how the City of Rochester refers to itself as the "flauË™(-?)r" city. Opening the interpretation up to the receiver. No one is wrong with their answer: Flower or Flour. The divide to which one or the other as better/correct still falsely resonates today. The fact is our city actually has a strong history in both, creating One city.

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart screening
2015-10-03 20:00 - 21:32 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (Sam Jones, US 2002, 92 min., 35mm).
I Am Trying to Break Your Heart was conceived as a documentary about the making of what became Wilco's most popular album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, but this film became a classic David and Goliath story where artistic integrity triumphs over crass commercial interests in every way possible. As fate would have it, award-winning photographer and first-time director Sam Jones captured a critical time involving seismic shifts in the structure and evolution of the band. You can call it a rockumentary or a drama, and for that reason, this movie appeals to die-hard Wilco fans and the uninitiated alike. This print, acquired by George Eastman House earlier this year, serves as a reminder of the museum's wide-ranging moving image collection. Preceding the film, beloved local musician John Link will perform several acoustic renditions of Wilco's songs in the Dryden lobby. Special presentation by Ben Tucker, assistant collection manager and archival projectionist, Moving Image Department.
