Maynard screening
2018-05-18 18:30 - 20:01 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Maynard (Samuel D. Pollard, U.S. 2017, 91 min.) as part of the The Black Cinema Series followed by a Panel Discussion and videoconference discussion with Samuel D. Pollard.
Maynard Jackson Jr. The first black Mayor of a major southern city, Atlanta. The Obama before Obama. In 1968 after the assassinations of MLK Jr. and Robert Kennedy, he announced his candidacy for the Georgia U.S. Senate against known segregationist, Herman Talmadge. His loss ultimately ignited a movement in the south that was started by Dr. King then picked up by Maynard. The "enforcer" of affirmative action and voter turnout, Maynard crafted successful diversity, inclusion and engagement templates still practiced today, and transformed the reputation of Atlanta from the "heart of the confederate south" to a cosmopolitan world-class city.

"Columbus, Ohio-based artists Dani Leventhal and Sheilah Wilson have embarked on an artistic relationship that is formally and emotionally adjacent to their domestic lives, a quotidian zone they share with their young daughter Rose … Although their joint body of work includes a performance based on the reading of love letters, Shameless Light (2016), and a new video installation, A Hand in Two Ways (Fisted) (2017), created for the Columbus Museum of Art, the major artwork to thus far emerge from the duo is their medium-length video Strangely Ordinary This Devotion." — Michael Sicinski, cinemascope magazine

2018-05-19 19:30 - 21:52 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Great Gatsby (Baz Luhrmann, U.S. 2013, 142 min., 35mm) as part of the Eastman Entertains series.
Mysterious Jay Gatsby (Leonardo Dicaprio), a nouveau riche established in Long Island in the roaring 1920s, is seen through the eyes of his modest neighbor, Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire). When Nick receives a personal invitation to one of Gatsby's magnificent parties, he soon finds out that Gatsby is actually quite intrigued by one of his relatives, his charming married cousin Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan). This newest adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous 1925 novel clearly reflects Luhrmann's cinematic style: colorful, eccentric, and musical. Also worth noting is the all-star soundtrack featuring artists such as Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Lana Del Rey, whether loudly accompanying the splendid festivities in Gatsby's mansion or conveying the character's feelings.

One year after the success of Fred Zinnemann's Oklahoma!, Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones were reunited for another musical, Carousel, adapted once again from Rodgers and Hammerstein. Carousel tells the story of Billy, dead for fifteen years and living "above." He wishes to have permission to go down to Earth for one day, to make amends for past mistakes. But before his request is approved, he has to convince the gatekeeper by telling him the story of his life. Carousel was shot in radiant Technicolor and is accompanied by an acclaimed musical score.

Deej screening
2018-05-22 19:00 - 20:12 | Cinema Theatre, 957 S. Clinton Ave., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
The Cinema will host a screening of Deej (Robert Rooy, David James Savarese, U.S. 2017, 72 min.) as part of the Reel Mind Film Series.
Abandoned by his birth parents and unable to speak for himself, DJ Savarese ("Deej") found not only a loving family but also a life in words, which he types on a text-to-voice synthesizer. As he makes his way through high school and dreams of college, he confronts the terrors of his past, obstacles to inclusion, and the sometimes paralyzing beauty of his own senses. In his advocacy on behalf of other nonspeaking autistics, he embraces filmmaking and poetry, and discovers what having a voice can truly mean. Through the first-of-its-kind collaboration between veteran filmmaker Robert Rooy and a nonspeaking young man with Autism, the film is a story told largely from the inside — by DJ, and not by his parents or autism experts or even the camera. At its core, Deej reflects the level of participation that disability rights advocates insist upon: "Nothing about us without us."

Stranded screening
2018-05-22 19:30 - 21:00 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Stranded (Juleen Compton, U.S. 1965, 90 min., 35mm) as part of the UCLA Festival of Preservation Tour series.
Juleen Compton was an independent American filmmaker and one of the only women making features during the 1960s. Stranded, her first movie, tells the story Raina, a young American woman (played by Compton), traveling through Greece with her American lover, and her French, gay, best friend. Raina partakes in several love affairs, rejecting marriage offers for no other reason than she likes her life the way it is. Made just prior to the arrival of second wave feminism, Compton's film never judges the writer/director's on-screen alter ego the way similar female characters were frequently punished in other films during this era by stigmatizing female sexuality.

2018-05-23 19:30 - 20:59 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Lost Moment (Martin Gabel, U.S. 1947, 89 min., 35mm) as part of the UCLA Festival of Preservation Tour series.
It's ironic that the film version of The Aspern Papers by the 19th-century American author Henry James, revered for his naturalism, should be the zenith of Hollywood gothic. In James's story, a nameless American scoundrel bent on a publishing coup tracks the centenarian Juliana Bordereau to a decaying Venetian palazzo. In The Lost Moment, the scoundrel is an unscrupulous New York publisher (Robert Cummings), who plots to acquire Jeffrey Ashton's love letters to his withered muse (Agnes Moorehead) even if it requires wooing the tedious great-niece, Miss Tina (Susan Hayward).
