Rochester's Rich History: Murder, Mayhem and Madness: 150 Years of Crime and Punishment in Western New York
2016-12-17 13:00 - 14:30 (America/New_York) | 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.

2016-12-17 19:00 - 20:35 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened (Lonny Price, U.S. 2016, 95 min.) as part of the One Take Documentary Series.
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.

The Dryden will screen Kiss Me Deadly (Robert Aldrich, U.S. 1955, 106 min., 35mm) as part of the Noir Effect series.
A "dame," a mysterious briefcase, and a murder—Robert Aldrich uses all of the elements of the classic film noir and twists them into a glorious perverted caricature. Private dick Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) unwittingly happens upon a naked woman (Cloris Leachman) running down the middle of the road and becomes tangled in a world of international espionage and breathtaking twists. Robert Aldrich (Vera Cruz, The Dirty Dozen) never really made a bad film, but this one secured him a place in the pantheon of the greatest.

2016-12-18 14:00 - 15:43 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Home Alone (Chris Columbus, U.S. 1990, 103 min., DCP) as part of the Dryden Kids and Holidays series.
When his suffocating brood forgets to pack him along for Christmas abroad, young Kevin McCallister believes his holiday wish has come true. John Hughes's production gives "Buellerian" heart to the story of a boy whose exploration of independence leads him to the gift of family. The movie's half-billion dollar success is due to its slapstick showdown of bumbling burglars versus Rube Goldberg—esque booby traps. Free for 17 and under.
