One from the Heart screening
2017-03-29 19:30 - 21:08 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen One from the Heart (Francis Ford Coppola, U.S. 1981, 98 min., 35mm) as part of the Vittorio Storaro series.
In a stunning change of pace, Francis Ford Coppola followed his jungle epic Apocalypse Now with this charming, candy-colored love story, a Las Vegas-set fantasia shot entirely on the soundstages of Zoetrope Studios with songs by Tom Waits. A costly box-office disappointment, this visionary film is now considered to be one of the most influential post-modern works of its era, and an obvious precursor to films like Moulin Rouge!

Joe Fiedler Quintet musical performance
2017-03-30 20:00 - 22:00 | Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
Influenced by two older cousins who both played trumpet, trombonist/composer Joe Fiedler, born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pa, and based in NYC since 1993, desperately wanted to become a trumpet player himself, but was instead given a trombone by his fourth grade music teacher who saw Fiedler and the trombone as a good match. The young, shy musician accepted the "arranged marriage", and the fourth grade music teacher has since been proven prophetic. Fiedler and the trombone finding each other coincided with the young musician falling under the abiding influence of two albums from his father's collection, The Cannonball Adderley Sextet-Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, and Oscar Peterson's Night Train.

Poor Stone-Tolan: those April Fools have been at it again! The oldest site in the county has been littered with things that do not belong. We've got to get it set right before all the 4th grade students arrive for their field studies — we don't want the kids to think that Mrs. Stone did her hearth cooking by the light of a lava lamp! Help us unravel the mess they have left behind at our April Fools Tour on Saturday, April 1st from 12:00 to 4:00. Identify the things that do not belong in the 1815 tavern, kitchen, and parlor bedroom; some will be easy (the lava lamp, perhaps?), but some will be a bit of a challenge (what's the date on that coin?). But it will all be fun — and there will be prizes! Adult admission is $5, and we're offering a special rate for children under 18 — free admission (no fooling…)!

2017-04-01 14:00 - 17:00 | Squeaky Wheel Film & Media Art Center, 617 Main St., Buffalo, New York, 14203, United States
Our world is an alien landscape filled with toxicities. Petrochemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries all contribute to the permeation of endocrine disrupting molecules into our environment, queering both our bodies and the bodies of non-human species. This can be seen as a form of slow violence that is pervasive yet difficult to perceive. Without reinforcing a politics of purity, how can we as citizens effectively respond? In the Open Source Estrogen workshop, participants work in teams to construct a DIY solid phase extraction system, then perform detection using yeast-based biosensors for estrogenic compounds. Water samples will be collected from the following locales: the Buffalo water front, Scajaquada Creek, the Erie Canal and the Niagara River.
