Outer and Inner Space, Lupe screenings
2017-10-18 19:30 - 20:39 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden Outer and Inner Space (Andy Warhol, U.S. 1966, 33 min., 2 x 16mm), and Lupe (Andy Warhol, U.S. 1966, 36 min., 2 x 16mm) as part of the Warhol series.
Edie Sedgwick, Warhol's favorite superstar, appears in more than ten of his films; Outer and Inner Space and Lupe are two of the most conceptually complex. Both consist of two reels shown together side-by-side. Projected thus, Outer and Inner Space becomes a quadruple portrait of Sedgwick, since each reel shows her seated next to her own video image, to whose sound she sometimes reacts. Shot in luscious color, Lupe is supposedly a biopic about Lupe Valez based on Kenneth Anger's story about her suicide in Hollywood Babylon. Billy Name gives Edie a haircut, and she does her nails, while in the adjacent reel she moves about a luxurious apartment in the Dakota, the famous New York City apartment building. Watch for the unexpected ending!

Popiól i diament (Ashes and Diamonds) screening
2017-10-19 19:30 - 21:13 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Popiól i diament (Ashes and Diamonds, Andrzej Wajda, Poland 1958, 103 min., 35mm, English w/subtitles) as part of the Wajda series.
Wajda's first bona fide masterpiece and the conclusion of his informal "war trilogy," Ashes and Diamonds bravely depicts the uneasy Polish political realities in the immediate aftermath of the World War II. The protagonist of the film is a former Home Army soldier Maciek, now tasked with assassinating a high-ranking communist leader. But instead of a straightforward thriller, Wajda delivers a proper film noir, and at the same time a uniquely bleak, socialist riff on disturbed-youth classics such as Rebel Without a Cause or The Wild One.

2017-10-20 18:00 - 21:00 | George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
Do you love 1940s dramas and lm [sic] noir? Then mark your calendar! The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, and other cinematic classics serve as the inspiration for The Black Bird of Death, a sidesplitting mystery-themed reception and dinner to be hosted by the Eastman Museum Council. The evening will start at 6 p.m. with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the museum's Potter Peristyle, where guests will have the opportunity to mix and mingle with an exceedingly curious cast of colorful characters. Dinner will follow in George Eastman's Conservatory in the historic mansion. But be forewarned, your fine dining will be accompanied by—murder! The ensuing performance by the Mystery Company and associated mayhem will include all the hallmarks of a true detective thriller as well as the hilarity of a good comedy. Guests will be asked to help solve the "crime" and identify the murderer. The Black Bird of Death is a well-crafted spoof of hard-boiled detective thrillers and film noir including unlikely romantic attachments. This interactive whodunit will keep everyone guessing and laughing. Period attire from the 1940s or black-and- white cocktail attire of today is encouraged.

The Dryden will screen In Dubious Battle (James Franco, U.S. 2016, 110 min., DCP) as part of the Labor Film Series.
The first of John Steinbeck's dustbowl novels, In Dubious Battle chronicles the struggle of migrant apple-pickers for decent wages and better working conditions. A native of California's central valley, Steinbeck understood well the conflict between itinerant workers, led by Wobblies and Communists, and the wealthy growers. The film adheres closely to the novel's narrative, exploring social issues addressed by Steinbeck here and in Of Mice and Men and, more fully, in The Grapes of Wrath.
