Painters Painting screening
2017-10-04 19:30 - 21:26 (America/New_York) | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Painters Painting (Emile de Antonio, U.S. 1973, 116 min., 16mm) as part of the Warhol series.
A famous Pop Art origin story: Andy Warhol's friend and agent Emile de Antonio advised the artist that his 1962 painting of an unadorned Coca-Cola bottle was "our society, it's who we are, it's absolutely beautiful and naked." Throughout the 1960s and '70s, de Antonio made a series of potent political documentaries, in the midst of which he filmed Painters Painting, in which he interviews artists in their studios—among them Barnett Newman, Willem de Kooning, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, and Frank Stella. One interview stands out from all the rest: Warhol, who sits on a couch beside Factory denizen Brigid Berlin facing a mirror. De Antonio films into the mirror from behind them, and Warhol deflects de Antonio's questions to Brigid.

Pokolenie (A Generation) screening (2017-Oct-5 @ 7:30 p.m.)
2017-10-05 19:30 - 20:56 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Pokolenie (A Generation, Andrzej Wajda, Poland 1955, 86 min., 35mm, Polish w/subtitles) as part of the Wajda series.
Andrzej Wajda's debut feature is an intimate account of growing up in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, and marks the beginning of his "war trilogy" that continued with Kanal (screening October 12) and ended with Ashes and Diamonds (screening October 19). Based on the eponymous novel by Bohdan Czeszko, A Generation paints a detailed psychological profile of a young rebel who is forced to embrace adulthood prematurely by joining the underground communist resistance. Already in his first film, Wajda's trademark is evident: the volatile mixture of personal and political, the questioning of official, state-sanctioned historical narratives, the corrosive effects of ideology on an individual, the price of responsibility—all also staples of the so-called Polish Film School that Wajda helped to create with this film.

Stachka (Strike) screening
2017-10-06 19:30 - 21:05 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Stachka (Strike, Sergei M. Eisenstein, Soviet Union 1925, 95 min., 35mm, Russian intertitles w/English subtitles) with the Alloy Orchestra performing musical accompaniment, as part of the Labor Film Series.
The workers of the world unite in this forceful, brilliantly constructed film of labor triumphant against brutal factory owners, government inspectors, and police spies. The official purpose of this government-sponsored project was to inform the masses, but Eisenstein believed that films should not merely impart information but sensation and impression as well. His debut feature is thus made up of images of collective action and a brilliant "montage of attractions": a cinematic perpetual motion machine, with each action or movement yielding its force to a subsequent one, all towards the utopian goal of worker solidarity and emancipation.

Our launch project, the first of many in the EcoDistrict, is the revitalization of a greenspace beside the gorge which is envisioned to become a part of an "EcoLoop" walking trail. From 12-2pm, volunteers will gather in the EcoDistrict to clean, weed, and plant at along the Genesee Riverway Trail. Our EcoFair will be a chance to learn how businesses, nonprofits, municipalities, and citizens are making Rochester more resilient.

Antifa: Discussion with Historian and Activist Mark Bray
2017-10-07 18:30 - 20:30 | Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley (GAGV), 100 College Ave., Ste. 100, Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
"As long as there has been fascism, there has been anti-fascism — also known as "antifa." Born out of resistance to Mussolini and Hitler in Europe during the 1920s and '30s, the antifa movement has suddenly burst into the headlines amidst opposition to the Trump administration and the alt-right. They could be seen in news reports, often clad all in black with balaclavas covering their faces, fighting police at the presidential inauguration, on California college campuses protesting right-wing speakers, and, most recently, on the streets of Charlottesville, VA, protecting, among others, a group of ministers including Cornel West from neo-Nazi violence. (West would later tell reporters, "The anti-fascists saved our lives.")" With the ascendancy of racist and nationalist movements and the election of a White Supremacist to the White House, anti-fascist organizing is more important that ever. Join Rochester Black Rose/Rosa Negra for a discussion and talk by Mark Bray, author of "Antifa: The Anti-fascist Handbook."

About Creepshow (R; 120 min.): A compendium of five short but terrifying tales contained within a single full-length feature, this film conjures scares from traditional bogeymen and portents of doom. In one story, a monster escapes from its holding cell. Another focuses on a husband (Leslie Nielsen) with a creative way of getting back at his cheating wife. Other stories concern a rural man (Stephen King) and a visitor from outer space, and a homeowner (E.G. Marshall) with huge bug problems and a boozing corpse. About Creepshow 2 (R; 92 min): This second horror anthology presents more eerie tales based on Stephen King stories. One episode finds a cigar-store Native American statue coming to life to avenge the death of the shop owner (George Kennedy) and his wife (Dorothy Lamour). Another features a group of teens menaced by a blob-like creature. The final installment follows a wealthy and callous woman (Lois Chiles) who hits a hitchhiker with her car and decides to flee the scene, but the victim isn't inclined to remain dead.
