The Brood screening
2015-09-24 20:00 - 21:32 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House, 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Brood (David Cronenberg, Canada 1979, 92 min., 35mm).
Something's gone terribly wrong at the Somafree Institute of Psychoplasmics, where, through intense psychological role playing Dr. Hal Raglan (Oliver Reed) has been encouraging troubled clients to manifest their repressed emotions and desires as fleshy, distinctly Cronenbergian excrescences that soon appear on their skin. The case of prized-patient Nola (Samantha Eggar), a troubled woman with monstrous mommy issues, however, has become particularly worrying: It appears Nola's deep-seated rage has begun taking on unexpected—and homicidal—forms. Cronenberg, who had recently undergone a bruising divorce and custody battle, claimed that his shocking third feature was a more realistic Kramer vs. Kramer, a statement that didn't help deflect criticism that his own film was similarly misogynistic. Other critics have taken a different stance, arguing that the film should be read as a cunning condemnation of the often-sexist psychotherapy narratives popular at the time of the film's release—an anti—ordinary People of sorts. Either way, this is one of Cronenberg's most frightening and controversial works.

The Wanted 18 screening
2015-09-27 14:00 - 15:15 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen The Wanted 18 (Paul Cowan, Amer Shomali, Canada / Occupied Palestinian Territory / France 2014, 75 min.) as part of the 2015 Witness Palestine Film Series.
Is it possible that eighteen cows present a security issue for the Israeli Defense Force? Indeed it is. They become The Wanted 18. This delightful film mixes animation of the cows with the real-life situation of Palestinians attempting to survive. As Palestinians must also do to get by, the film adds humor to a deadly serious matter. The people shown are not actors; they're the actual people of the village. This is the story of the intifada as it played out in Beit Sahour, a Bethlehem suburb, in the late 1980s to early 1990s. A group of Palestinians tried to break the Israeli stranglehold on supplying goods by purchasing eighteen cows from Israel in order to produce an independent supply of milk. However, once they had the cows, the Israeli government became concerned it could set off widespread civil disobedience, so the villagers make a strong effort to the hide their bovine property amongst the town people.
