A Room with a View screening
2016-02-14 11:30 - 13:27 (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 A Room with a View (James Ivory, U.K. 1985, 117 min., 35mm).
Among the many films that made the team of producer Ismail Merchant, director James Ivory, and writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala synonymous with faithful and exquisitely detailed film versions of classic novels, this is a beloved standout. And with good reason: Their close adaptation of E. M. Forster's 1908 critique of priggish Edwardian manners undone by the sensuality of the warm Tuscan south launched the careers of a trio of exciting young stars (Helena Bonham Carter, Daniel Day-Lewis, Julian Sands), reintroduced Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, and Denholm Elliott to a wide international audience, and kick-started a vogue for lavish period pieces that remains unabated today (see Downton Abbey). Unabashedly romantic, and with Florence as the backdrop for the first half of the film (replaced by the rolling English countryside for the second), A Room with a View makes for the perfect Valentine's Day escape.

Teen sensations Molly Ringwald and Andrew McCarthy drew raves for their starring performances in this bittersweet love story by John Hughes. She's a high school girl from the wrong side of town. He's the wealthy heart-throb who asks her to the prom. As fast as their romance builds, it's threatened by the painful reality of peer pressure.

Shorts by AgnÃ¨s Varda screenings
2016-02-17 20:00 - 21:39 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Shorts by AgnÃ¨s Varda featuring L'opéra-mouffe (Diary of a Pregnant Woman, AgnÃ¨s Varda, France 1958, 16 min., 35mm, French w/subtitles), Salut Les Cubains (AgnÃ¨s Varda, France/Cuba 1963, 30 min., 35mm, French w/subtitles), Uncle Yanco (AgnÃ¨s Varda, U.S. 1967, 22 min., DCP, French w/subtitles), and Huey (Black Panthers, AgnÃ¨s Varda, France 1968, 31 min., DCP, French w/subtitles).
AgnÃ¨s Varda's documentary shorts provide a delightful glimpse into her personal experiences, revealing, with her trademark enthusiastic curiosity, a diverse spectrum of interests and inspirations. In Diary of a Pregnant Woman, a pregnant Varda observes a bustling open-air market in the working-class neighborhood Rue Mouffetard. Salut Les Cubains recalls Varda's first career as a photographer, assembling 1,800 photos to construct a portrait of a 1963 trip to Cuba. After relocating to California in the 1960s with her husband, filmmaker Jacques Demy, Varda produces some of her most ebullient works, documenting youth culture and the changing political landscape as an outsider. Uncle Yanco witnesses the meeting of two Vardas, as introduced by Tom Luddy, and Black Panthers traces the ascendance of the Black Panther movement, following rallies demanding the release of Huey Newton.

Voicing on Film screenings
2016-02-18 19:30 - 20:40 | Hoyt Auditorium, University of Rochester Campus, Rochester, New York, United States
The UofR's On Film team presents a film screening night titled Voicing on Film featuring Rawane's Song (Mounira Al Solh, 2007, 7 min., video), (as if) beauty never ends (Jayce Salloum, 2002, 12. min., video), The Sea is a Stereo, part II: Paris Without a Sea (Mounira Al Solh, 2007-2008, 12 min., video), Broken Tongue (Mónica Savirón, 2013, 3 min., 16mm to digital), Now Eat My Script (Mounira Al Solh, 2014, 25 min., video), and The Chamber (Chantal Akerman, 1972, 11 min., 16mm to digital).
Formally, these works are organized around the possibilities of spoken or textual narration enlivening an otherwise minimal soundtrack. However together, they elaborate an idiosyncratic critique of the authority of the voiceover as material and political conquest, problematizing the narration of identity (or imperatives to do so) in politically fraught art markets, and restating the performative faculties of the camera in playfully inventive and wildly affecting ways.

The Designated Mourner by Wallace Shawn theatrical performance (2016-Feb-18 @ 7:30 p.m.)
2016-02-18 19:30 - 21:30 | MuCCC (Multi-use Community Cultural Center), 142 Atlantic Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The MuCCC will host a performance of The Designated Mourner by Wallace Shawn.
"The designated mourner. I am the designated mourner. I have to tell you that a very special little world has died, and I am the designated mourner", Jack says to start this show. Jack and Judy and Howard tell the stories of the lives of Jack and Judy and Howard, and the unnamed country in which they try to live. The tales cover decades. Jack and Judy and Howard change (and stay the same), and the country changes (and stays the same). It is a country of unstable stability, of precarious lives, and the narratives reflect this. You will be drawn into this world and these lives; take what you will from them.

Pussy Riot: In Conversation and Q&A
2016-02-18 19:30 - 21:30 | Babeville, 341 Delaware Ave., Buffalo, New York, 14202, United States
Although the ultra-conservative WBER choses to censor their name, Pussy Riot will be In Conversation and Q&A in Asbury Hall at Babeville.
Pussy Riot is a Russian feminist punk rock protest group based in Moscow. Founded in August 2011, it has a variable membership of approximately 11 women ranging in age from about 20 to 33 (as of 2012). The group stages unauthorised provocative guerrilla performances in unusual public locations, which are edited into music videos and posted on the Internet. The collective's lyrical themes include feminism, LGBT rights, and opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom the group considers a dictator, and to his links with the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church.

The Dryden will screen Ashes and Embers (Haile Gerima, U.S. 1982, 120 min., 16mm).
Nay Charles is an African American Vietnam veteran who no longer fits in, can't find a job and is ultimately arrested by the police. Like his protagonist, Haile Gerima is both drawn to and skeptical of the Black Nationalist ideology. Finally, Gerima places his faith in African American youth, a vision of utopia after the grim lessons of contemporary race relations in America.
