US women in politics
On “Where Are the Women,” our article on the small number of women in politics: So is it women,
or the American system? Canada has far more equal representation in its parliament and in its number of provincial leaders. Both the head of state and head of government in the UK are women, and the new leader of the Free World, Germany, has just reelected a woman to her fourth term. They all have families. Perhaps there is something in our system and culture that that holds women back and needs to be addressed. Thank you for this article.
GARY PUDUP
A sincere thank you to all the women quoted in this article, and all the others who weren’t. Thank you for sticking it out, for putting yourselves out there, for taking on this task that sucks, because you care about our city, our state, and our world and want to make it better. You shouldn’t have to run a gauntlet of personal attacks in order to become a public servant. You should get the support you need in your personal life if you have something to offer your community through public service. We see you and we thank you.
The RPD and the use of force
On our articles on policecommunity relations, “A Matter of Trust” and “Council Wades into Police Oversight”:
An important dynamic not mentioned is that it is criminals’ jobs to evade police, and the police’s job to catch criminals. That is the only job of both of them, and therefore they can never co-exist. If everyone just watched “The Wire,” both sides would have a respect for the other for just doing their job. PHILLIP SZAL
An issue of simple physics: For every action, there is a reaction. The reaction to force is usually an attempt to show even more force. If no attempts are made to de-escalate a situation, we won’t know if a better outcome is possible. TOM JANOWSKI
On Urban Journal’s “Health Care Is a Right; Why Is That Debatable?”: We need to
abandon a Democrat vs. Republican discussion of the issue. It would be a good first step to shift the terminology more toward the center. For example, how about “selfinsurance” instead of “single-payer”? Or, stop the “repeal and replace” talk and start emphasizing “amending” or “fixing.” I’d bet that it’s a Democrat asking the question whether health care is a right or a privilege. Let’s repeal that question, and replace it. Or better yet, amend it. The “privilege” is not needed. Is health care a right? Start with that.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Las Vegas, guns, and the evil of inaction How can this keep happening in this country? Week after week, year after year, people keep killing people with guns. Still, Sunday’s carnage in Las Vegas is simply hard to comprehend: at least 59 dead, more than 500 injured, shot by one person. The shootings are unpredictable. But the reaction to them, by people who could do something about them, is completely predictable. They will do nothing. In a New York Times op-ed on Monday, former Long Island Congressman Steve Israel recalled some of the most well-known mass shootings: Columbine, Herkimer, Tucson, Santa Monica, Hialeah, Terrell, Alturas, Killeen, Isla Vista, Marysville, Chapel Hill, Tyrone, Waco, Charleston, Chattanooga, Lafayette, Roanoke, Roseburg, Colorado Springs, San Bernardino, Birmingham, Fort Hood, Aurora, Virginia Tech, Washington Navy Yard, Alexandria, Newton.... After every tragedy, the media publish profiles of the victims and we weep. “Everyone loved him,” the Times quoted a woman about her nephew. “The kind of person who brings light wherever she is,” a school superintendent said of a young teacher. “A kind spirit... a kind, compassionate, genuine person,” a hospital spokesperson said about a nurse. “To lose someone with a heart like yours,” read a post on a victim’s Facebook page. “Just doesn’t make sense.” A husband who died shielding his wife from the bullets, a woman expecting a new grandchild, a single mother of four: on and on the painful stories run, of people who had so much to give, who were simply having fun, enjoying music, enjoying being together with others who love music. Not all tragedies are preventable. But carnage like this is. We know that, and we know what we need to do. But nothing will happen. We knew what we needed to do after Tucson, after Aurora, after Orlando.... But nothing happened. We knew what we needed to do when we saw the pictures of the children murdered in Newton. Little children. Six-year-olds. Sixyear-olds.
But nothing happened. After every tragedy like this, the media share the stories. Elected officials declare their shock and their sorrow. The president gives a speech about mourning and praying, and he hugs the victims. And then nothing happens. On Monday, President Trump called the shooting “an act of pure evil,” ordered flags flown at half-staff, and asked God to bless the

We knew what we needed to do when we saw the pictures of the children murdered in Newton. And nothing happened.” people who had lost their lives. “In moments of tragedy and horror,” he said, “America comes together as one. And it always has.” He and his wife Melania were praying “for the entire nation to find unity and peace,” he said. They were praying, he said, “for the day when evil is banished and the innocent are safe from hatred and from fear.” The president himself, of course, could do something to help banish the evil of mass shootings. He could bring the country together to help reduce gun violence of all kinds. So could Congress. But we know what will happen. There’ll be no legislation involving background checks or regulating the kinds of guns companies can make and people can buy and sell. Congress will still refuse to fund research into the causes and possible prevention of gun violence. There’s a lot we don’t know right now about Stephen Paddock and his motive for doing what he did. But we know plenty. We know he had more than 20 guns in his hotel room and more than a dozen in his home outside of Las Vegas. We know that the guns – which he fired rapidly and repeatedly – killed at least 59 people and injured hundreds of others. We know that the guns themselves were perfectly legal. It was legal to make them, legal to sell them, legal to buy them. We know enough to enact sensible gun control. But we won’t. We didn’t act after Aurora and Tucson and Orlando. We didn’t act after Newton. And we won’t act now. That in itself is evil.

Jack Moore could face suits
The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found that there was a basis for a few discrimination complaints filed with the agency against Henrietta Supervisor Jack Moore. Town employees allege, respectively, that he used racial and homophobic slurs, made sexist remarks, and made demeaning remarks about their appearance. The EEOC ruling could be used as the basis of lawsuits. Moore, a Republican, is up for election this year, and Henrietta Democrats denounced his alleged remarks. Town Republicans declined comment to several local news organizations.
Bill would cap Child Protective caseloads
Democratic County Legislator Justin Wilcox and Republican County Legislator Tony Micciche announced draft legislation that would cap Child Protective Services caseloads. The proposal would also allow the county executive to implement regulations to keep the cost of complying down. A press release from the legislators doesn’t specify what the caseload cap would be, though it does note that the accepted
standard is for a caseworker to have only 12 to 15 cases at any time. Wilcox and Micciche are circulating the proposal among legislators to see if they can pick up some additional sponsors.

Local economy slipped in 2016
The Rochester metro area’s economic growth was an anemic minus 0.2 percent in 2016, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis reported. The agency looks at gross domestic product. Rochester was one of five areas in New York State that experienced negative GDP. The Buffalo-Niagara Falls region saw the most growth in the state, at 1.3 percent.
Monroe County’s financial stress worrisome
Monroe County had the highest fiscal stress of any county in New York in 2016, according to a survey from state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s office. DiNapoli looks at financial concerns like debt, unemployment, and poverty. While Monroe County was the only county that DiNapoli called “significantly” fiscally stressed, county officials pushed back on the description, saying the stress stems from unfunded state mandates.

EcoDistrict moves forward Greentopia is getting ready to launch the High Falls EcoDistrict. The nonprofit is holding a kickoff eco-fair from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 7, on and around the Pont de Rennes bridge in High Falls. It’ll include food trucks, creation of a chalk mural on the bridge, and goats (they’ll be part of a demonstration on sustainable brush removal). Adults will have a chance to test drive electric vehicles. Volunteers will also clean, weed, and replant a section of the Genesee Riverway trail near the gorge. “We want to make sure that every time we do something for
the EcoDistrict, we do something tangible,” says Rachel Walsh, Greentopia’s EcoDistrict coordinator. The activities align with the recently completed High Falls EcoDistrict plan. The document calls for businesses, institutions, and residents, as well as city government in some cases, to become more energy efficient, boost renewable electricity use, reduce waste, boost recycling, explore ways to make High Falls more bike- and pedestrianfriendly, and add green space to the district. The plan also sets a long-term goal of restoring access to the Genesee River waterfront in the gorge. Greentopia is pursuing certification
of the district through the EcoDistricts umbrella organization (https:// ecodistricts.org/). The plan is one part of that process. But district initiatives are voluntary, and the rest of the process involves cementing buy-in from key businesses and institutions, such as the Genesee Brewery and Monroe Community College. For the district to get certified, the major stakeholders need to commit to the EcoDistrict concept as well as specific actions or initiatives. The certification process can take up to three years, but projects will happen during that time, Walsh says.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
REACH Advocacy leaders had expected that the need for extra shelter beds would be eliminated once the new House of Mercy shelter was opened. But House of Mercy’s new facility and St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality are generally filled to capacity.
PUBLIC HEALTH | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Homeless advocates seek funding There’s little that’s more emblematic of severe poverty than homelessness. Like most medium-size and large cities, Rochester has emergency shelters for homeless adults, but the demand for beds and living space, especially for the chronically homeless, continues to outpace availability. For the third year in a row, REACH Advocacy – Rochesterians Engaging in Action for the Chronically Homeless – will be raising money for a shelter for the coming winter, to address the overflow. The group needs to raise $78,000 quickly to find a home or other suitable building and have it ready to accept homeless adults by November 15, says the Rev. Peter Peters, the retired Episcopal priest who chairs REACH Advocacy. “Last year we raised $60,000 within a very short deadline, so I think we can do it,” Peters says. (Donations can be made out to FLACE/ REACH Advocacy and mailed to P.O. Box 31765, Rochester, NY 14603.) The volunteer organization was formed in response to the city’s closing of the homeless tent camps that developed in late 2014, says Peters. In 2015, REACH opened a home on Prince Street for the winter months, and last year it opened one
on Ontario Street. The location for this year’s winter shelter hasn’t been identified, Peters says, but it will be similar to the previous two. People will have a clean bed to sleep in and a warm meal at night. REACH Advocacy leaders had expected that the need for extra shelter beds would be eliminated once the new House of Mercy shelter was opened and operational. But House of Mercy’s new facility and St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality, the two shelters that work with the chronically homeless, are generally filled to capacity, says Peters. For instance, House of Mercy has an 82-bed occupancy, but the number of men and women seeking shelter consistently exceeds that limit, he says. A survey conducted by the county in January 2016 found that nearly 70 people could not access a shelter, Peters says. But that’s simply a one-time snapshot of shelter overcapacity, he says, not necessarily an accurate reflection of the severity of the chronic homelessness problem. Kelly Finnigan, a social worker and director of operations at House of Mercy, says it’s hard to come up with precise data when working with the chronically homeless. Some homeless people are guided into permanent housing – REACH

Advocacy has found permanent housing for as many as 40 percent of the people who stayed in its winter shelters – but it’s not clear how many remain there. Many have physical or mental disabilities and aren’t able to live independently or hold a job, Finnigan says. “That’s because of a whole variety of reasons,” says Finnigan. “Severe mental illnesses, severe drug and alcohol abuse – but it’s more than that. Many have really bad rental histories because of their disease, and it’s so hard to find them an apartment when they have two or three evictions on their record. It takes a lot of legwork.”
Activists protest at police union Tension grew last week between local activists and the Rochester Police Locust Club as officers participated in a controversial training program conducted by the Force Science Institute, paid for by the union. Critics say that FSI and its founder, Bill Lewinski, encourage officers to escalate their use of force in volatile situations, often in communities of color. Although some of his research has been challenged, Lewinski is popular with many police officers, and he often testifies in trials on behalf of officers accused of using excessive force. Rochester activists protested for several days in front of the union’s office, with some chaining themselves to the Locust Club’s sign. One of them later chained himself to the entry doors, which resulted in his arrest, said Milo Ehrenberg, a spokesperson for the protesters. Protesters argued that rather than pay for the FSI training, the Locust Club should pay for training that emphasizes deescalation in tense encounters. They’ll continue to try to increase the public’s awareness about the need for greater police oversight, Ehrenberg said. “We’re working on connecting with activists in other cities facing the same issues,” Ehrenberg said.

ACTIVISM | BY JEREMY MOULE
Interview: Author Mark Bray on antifa It’s 2017 in the United States, and not only does the country have a growing anti-fascist movement, it may very well need it. That’s not to say that the US is hurtling toward fascism, the exact definition of which is somewhat fluid. In broad terms, fascism is a social and political ideology that melds authoritarian government; the squelching of political dissent and a free, independent press; and pervasive nationalism that often has racial elements. “I’m not someone who thinks that we’re going to see an explicitly fascist government or anything of the like, but we can see that white nationalist perspectives have had a disproportionate influence on public discourse,” says Mark Bray, a Dartmouth College history lecturer who recently released a book on anti-fascist movements, “Antifa: the Anti-Fascist Handbook.” Bray, a former Occupy Wall Street activist, takes a historical view of the anti-fascist movement in his book, though he is clearly sympathetic to the cause. Donald Trump and some of his key advisers flirt with fascism through elements of white nationalism, including xenophobia and fear mongering. They fan the flames of Islamophobia, scapegoat immigrants, and discuss walling off – figuratively and physically – the country’s borders. But recently, a more blatant display of fascist elements happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Unite the Right rally brought together neoNazis, Ku Klux Klan members, white nationalists, and other far-right groups, in the name of protecting a symbol of racial oppression: a statue of Confederate army general Robert E. Lee. Counter-protesters showed up to drown out the protesters’ chants of “Blood and soil” – an old German nationalist slogan – and “White lives matter.” Tensions escalated to the point that people from each side fought in the streets. A Nazi sympathizer drove his car into a crowd, injuring 19 people and killing a counterprotester, 32-year-old Heather Heyer. And yet, a good bit of the national media coverage wasn’t about the violent potential of white supremacists, or even the fact that they were glorifying an awful chapter of American history. It was that antifa, a movement that’s been around in several iterations for decades, is violent. The movement received similar treatment after anti-fascist and alt-right protesters 6 CITY

clashed in Berkeley, California. Now, the right has made antifa activists its new bogeyman, and its talking heads characterize them as radicals – sometimes they’re all called communists, sometimes anarchists – who want to beat people up and suppress speech. Antifa groups have pressured colleges – sometimes unsuccessfully – to disinvite right-wing speakers from events on their campuses. Critics have also criticized the movement’s strategy of outing people aligned with right-wing groups and causes. Local antifa drew media and public scrutiny after outing a Honeoye Falls man who attended the Unite the Right rally; the man said he wasn’t there with hate groups but to protest removal of the Lee statue. Some critics suggested that identifying the man was a call for violence against him. But Eastside Antifascists volunteer Peter Berkman told CITY that the group wasn’t calling for violence against the man. “I think the way that we address this
is by simply informing the community of who these people are,” Berkman said – to bring them “out of the shadows.” (Members of local antifa groups have since be unresponsive to CITY interview requests; antifa activists in general tend toward anonymity.) Antifa’s critics on the left, especially those in big media organizations such as the Atlantic or the New Republic, have also criticized antifa over its use of intimidation and physical force during far-right demonstrations, But Bray defends individuals’ use of force, whether in self-defense or as a means to shut down the rallies. And he says the focus on that one, small aspect of the anti-fascism movement ignores important context and the movement’s century-long history. Fascism can’t be fought solely through conventional debate and politics, Bray says. It’s an ideology that rejects reasoned argument and is instead based on emotional, irrational appeals,
he says. It needs to be stopped before it gets a foothold, he says, and that includes denying white nationalist, white supremacist, and far right groups any platform at all. The groups and their philosophies are that objectionable, he says. “Militant anti-fascists subsequently have argued that the struggle against fascism is not a conversation or debate,” Bray says. “They don’t view fascism as a difference of opinion,” he says. Physical confrontation is just a small part of what anti-fascist groups do, he says. Different groups in the movement take on different functions, though many are multi-purpose. Some are devoted just to researching fascist groups, as well as their leaders and members; others focus on community organizing; others are centered on responding to far-right rallies, events, and gatherings. Bray will speak at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 7, at the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley, 100 College Avenue. In a recent interview,

Your place for first opportunities and second chances. he talked about the nuances of, and misunderstanding around, the modern anti-fascist movement. He also talked about its historic roots. What follows is an edited version of that conversation. CITY: What exactly is antifa?
BRAY: Anti-fascism as a political tradition goes back 100 years, but it changed significantly after World War II. In continental Europe, they passed laws against Nazi parties, against fascist parties, and sought to prevent these kinds of politics from rearing their heads again through legislation and censorship. Where this story picks up is that in the 70’s and 80’s and 90’s, depending on where we’re talking about, there was a resurgence of far-right activity. Part of that was spurred by the growth of a neoNazi skinhead movement exported from Britain. There was an increased xenophobia in response to waves of migration from elsewhere around the world. Militant anti-fascism, which is the tendency that we’re talking about here,
developed in part out of punk and alternative scenes to defend themselves against the far-right; emerged out of immigrant communities to defend themselves when they were under attack; and is a rejection of the argument that the way to fight fascism is to pass legislation. It’s a pan-radical left politics. It’s a way for anarchists and communists and socialists of different stripes, who disagree with the official left parties, to fight back. And then it’s also a directaction politics. That’s sort of the specific tendency of militant anti-fascism as it developed in Europe in the 70’s and 80’s, as it came to the United States really in the late 80’s into the 90’s with AntiRacist Action. It’s really sort of a politics or an activity. It’s not one specific organization. It’s a strategic tactical argument for how to resist the far right.

Who is part of this movement, generally speaking?
They’re different kinds of leftists and anti-racists, most of whom, in my experience, also do other kinds of political activities. Some are environmentalists, some are trade unionists. In terms of professions, there are people that work at retail jobs, who are professors, who are students, who are nurses. It’s hard to draw a profile, because a lot of this work is done out of the public eye. Anti-fascists don’t want to be identified often because of the repression that can come from the police and doxing that can come from the right. What does the public get wrong or misunderstand about the antifa movement?
There are a few things that have been sort of fed by the media. One is that it’s entirely about punching Nazis. Certainly, anti-fascists advocate for self-defense, broadly construed. But when it gets reduced to sort of a Nazipunching activity, the complexity and the historically informed nature of the politics get lost, and it’s portrayed as being exclusively about confrontation. But that’s sort of a small part of it. Anti-fascists have historically handed out information; have done research on the far right, tracking them – especially in the internet age across multiple social media platforms – figuring out who their leaders are, where they hold events, contacting venue owners to cancel white-power punk shows or boycotting hotels who have conferences for Holocaust deniers. And in that way, it’s a much broader politics, most of which is really acting, to some extent, like private investigators, doing a lot of drudgery, and publicizing this information. Obviously right-wing groups and their sympathizers aren’t going to respond well to antifa tactics. But the broader public doesn’t seem to either. Why publicly identify people with potential links to right-wing groups or use physical force?
When it comes into the realm of direct action, of taking it upon ourselves, or our communities acting to go beyond the official channels to make a political change, that’s when you get debate, whether it’s about anti-fascism, whether it’s about Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, or what have you. At the crux of the issue is the perspective that social change happens simply through 8 CITY
OCTOBER 4 - 10, 2017
people expressing their opinions to politicians. But in fact, historically, real social change happens when there are these disruptive protest movements that challenge business as usual. Protest movements are never neat and clean. They always involve a variety of tactics and debates about them. Part of the takeaway is to understand that politics are messy and disruptive when they’re working well, and you’re never going to get complete unanimity over how to do anything on the mass scale politically. But I think it’s incumbent on us, even if we disagree about how to fight back against the far right, to all find our own way to do so and focus on the common enemy and not get caught up in intra-left conflict. How real is this threat of fascism in the US? What do Americans need to take very seriously, at least from a historical perspective?
Anti-fascists argue that even in small doses, fascism and white supremacist groups can be dangerous. Obviously we can see with the murders that have been committed that that’s true: in Portland, Oregon, in Maryland, in Charlottesville, and elsewhere. From their perspective, those murders are sufficient to take these groups seriously. Beyond that, they make a sort of historical argument pointing out that historical fascist regimes and movements have often started out really small. I talk about that in the book. But one example is that Mussolini’s initial fascist nucleus was 100 men in 1919 before it became 250,000 two years later. But beyond that is a sort of institutional question. And even just seeing the presence of, for a while, Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka in the White House and the fact that Trump retweets a lot of these accounts.... I think that there is a clear connection between certain white nationalist perspectives and individuals in the White House, which is very alarming.

Commissary will house 11 rentable commercial Program Director Laura Fox O’Sullivan says kitchen stations where the incubator’s members the initiative will boost downtown Rochester’s can prepare, package, and store their wares. The economic and cultural vitality as the area’s facility will also include a performance kitchen, residential population continues to grow. which will hold pop-up restaurants, cooking O’Sullivan, who is also the Vice President classes, and other programming. of the Rochester Downtown Development Though the facility will be the first of its Corporation, says kitchen incubators address the kind in the region, the concept isn’t new. There most daunting barrier to entry for entrepreneurs are more than 200 kitchen incubators across wanting to break into the food business: the the country, like Foodworks Brooklyn and cost of building and outfitting a commercial Detroit Kitchen Connect. Such facilities provide
prospective food business owners with the tools they need to legitimize and launch their ventures as well as crucial business development support and education. And what’s good for aspiring food entrepreneurs is good for downtown Rochester, according to O’Sullivan. “Our programming is a means of getting people downtown on weeknights and weekends,” she says. The idea for The Commissary began back in April 2016, when Rochester was selected for the Rose Fellowship, a program run by the Rose Center for Public Leadership, which provides cities with insight and analysis to improve their downtowns. The Rose Fellowship invited the mayors of four cities — Rochester; Birmingham, Alabama; Denver, Colorado; and Long Beach, California — to hear its recommendations on jump-starting development in their respective downtown areas. The recommendations for Rochester largely focused on the Broad Street Aqueduct, Main Street, and the Genesee riverfront, but the Fellowship also recommended launching a kitchen incubator in order to jumpstart growth in the food and beverage industry downtown. “Food and drink leads the way to street vitality,” O’Sullivan says, noting that the growing downtown residential population (about 7,000 now) demands places to dine and to socialize. O’Sullivan, who has a background in urban planning, was familiar with the kitchen incubator concept and with the food industry
— her husband, Marty O’Sullivan, is the owner of Marty’s Meats. Development costs for the project total about $1.2 million, with funding coming in large part from donations and state grants. Once The Commissary is up and running, it will be self-sustained by revenue from kitchen rentals, cooking classes, and special events, says O’Sullivan. Though The Commissary is not yet accepting applications for membership, O’Sullivan anticipates being able to host some 50 entrepreneurs – including food truck operators, bakers, caterers, and homebased food businesses looking to expand their operations. Members will be able to sign up for shifts of a minimum of four hours, with rates at about $20 per hour. (O’Sullivan says that rate may be higher or lower depending upon what kind of equipment the members are using during their shifts). Members will also have the option to rent a kitchen station exclusively for one month at a time. The facility will be open 24 hours a day, with extra security in place for members working the “graveyard shift,” O’Sullivan says. In addition to kitchen space, Commissary members will also have access to support and guidance as their businesses take shape. The Commissary is partnering with more than 20 local organizations — including the Rochester Brainery, Kiva Rochester, and PathStone Enterprise Center — to provide business incubation services, food sector mentoring, and access to products and services. The organization’s workshop series has already begun at the RIT Center for Urban Entrepreneurship, located inside the historic Rochester Savings Bank, and so far has covered food photography, social media for food business, and the permit process for food business professionals. The workshops are taught by Rochester-area entrepreneurs and are open for anyone to attend. Members will also be able to use the performance kitchen to prepare pop-up restaurants to bring in casual visitors to The Commissary. According to O’Sullivan, this will not only give prospective food entrepreneurs the chance to try out their products on the “built-in audience” of 48,000 people who work downtown, but also give new dining options for center-city employees and residents. O’Sullivan envisions setting up food carts outside the Metropolitan, where Commissary members can sell their creations at lunchtime. Construction for The Commissary is due to start this winter, and O’Sullivan and the advisory board expect the facility to open in mid-2018. Workshop videos and announcements, as well as progress updates on the project, are available on The Commissary’s website. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Ima The inaugural ImageOut kicked off in 1993; Bill Clinton had just begun his first term as President, Nelson Mandela won the Nobel Peace Prize, Beanie Babies hit the market, and Donald Trump was an unnecessarily famous real-estate developer. Now, 25 years later … well, the good news is that ImageOut is still going strong, providing a platform for the LGBTQ community to see its many truths reflected in art. ImageOut will mark its silver anniversary Friday, October 6, through Sunday, October 15, with 39 programs of features, documentaries, and short films that give important insight into the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer experiences. “We owe it to all the pioneers who thought that we needed a gay and lesbian film festival right here in Rochester,” 10 CITY OCTOBER 4 - 10, 2017
says Michael Gamilla, ImageOut programming director. “But I don’t think even they would have thought that it would become an internationally recognized LGBTQ event, and especially that it would become the biggest of its kind in the state.” Gamilla, who has been with the volunteer-run festival since 2004, recognizes that since the festival’s inception, people have become more aware of LGBTQ issues, and there are increased opportunities for LGBTQ people to watch films where they can witness their own stories. “But what a festival like ImageOut offers is the undeniable sense of community that brings more impact, perspective, and gravitas to the viewing experience,” Gamilla says. “Hopefully, we can keep growing our audience by continuing to produce a relevant event for our community.”

Back for more in 2017 is the ImageOut There! series, which showcases future cult classics that explore the seamier (and occasionally steamier) side of life, and the Next Generation series, a selection of flicks
free to the under-21 crowd. As always, the donation-fueled ImageOutreach program provides senior discounts, sign language interpretation, and other services to make this festival accessible to all. And 2017’s juried ImageOut Art exhibition, “We are Family,” addresses the strife and strides of the LGBTQ community as it treads the hallowed ground of marriage and children; check it out through October 21 at Visual Studies Workshop, 31 Prince Street. Keep reading for a peek at a dozen of this year’s ImageOut highlights. Screenings will take place at The Little Theatre (240 East Avenue) and at the Dryden Theatre (900 East Avenue); admission prices range from $9-$15.

A LOOK AT THE 25TH ANNUAL ROCHESTER LGBT FILM & VIDEO FESTIVAL [ FILM PREVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
future starts to seem a little brighter. First-time filmmaker Francis Lee adheres to a fairly unsurprising arc in his story, with setbacks and revelations arriving at the appointed times, but it’s the sublime performances that keep the film focused on the individual wants and needs of its characters rather than some simplistic fairytale trajectory. (Friday, October 6; 9:30 p.m.; Little 1)
God's Own Country PHOTO PROVIDED
It’s impossible not to think about “Brokeback Mountain” during “God’s Own Country,” a beautifully crafted drama that also features two extremely different men finding solace in each other amidst a picturesque but otherwise lonely landscape. Johnny (Josh O’Connor) handles the grueling work on the Yorkshire farm where he lives with his
grandma and ailing father (characteractor ringers Gemma Jones and Ian Hart), blowing off steam through too much alcohol and the occasional joyless rut with a willing local. Hired help arrives in the form of Gheorghe (Alec Secareanu), a dreamy Romanian migrant worker as serene as Johnny is volatile, and it’s not long before Johnny’s bleakly predictable
The roots of a 50-year-long feud run tangled and deep in Ernesto Contreras’s “I Dream In Another Language.” This enchanting Mexican drama follows a linguist who travels to the remote Mexican jungle in hopes of preserving Zikril, an indigenous language once used by humans and nature but now spoken by only three living people … wait, make that two people. But the linguist hopes to record conversation, and the curmudgeonly Evaristo wants nothing
to do with the sweet, old hermit Isauro, local gossip has it, because both men fell in love with the same woman. We learn in evocative flashbacks that that’s not entirely true — this is an ImageOut selection, after all — and the story unfolds as the village tries to reunite the two old men to save a vanishing aspect of their collective history. The film’s occasional dip into the mystical requires a fair suspension of disbelief, but it also adds a note of the divine. (Saturday, October 7; 4:15 p.m.; Dryden)
Oh, you know the monochromatic drawings — leather-clad, mustachioed men with small heads, ultra-muscled torsos, and cartoonishly juicy butts — but you may not be familiar with the man responsible for such legendary erotica. The absorbing biopic “Tom of Finland” does its best to remedy that. At times evoking a stern mash-up of Clive Owen rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11
and Daniel Craig, Pekka Strang stars as Touko Laaksonen, a Finnish commercial illustrator whose time at war allowed him to explore his homosexuality and birthed the uniform fetish that would make his pseudonym, Tom of Finland, famous the world over. Director Dome Karukoski covers a lot of territory, from the violent crackdown on cruising in the name of cleaning up Helsinki’s parks for the 1952 Summer Olympics to the dawn of AIDS and beyond, and it takes a keen eye to grasp what is at times a frustratingly subtle chronology. But at the film’s center is the inspiring tale of a trailblazing artist who just wished to be able to love freely and in the process make it a little easier for others to express their desires as well.

Through the skillful use of a bounty of archival footage, the stellar documentary “The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson”
weaves together several compelling threads to explore the mysterious 1992 death of the eponymous Stonewall veteran, LGBTQ activist, and beloved trans icon. Director David France (“How To Survive A Plague”) follows victim advocate Victoria Cruz, a trans woman herself, as she assembles details from that long-ago summer, jogging memories and unraveling red tape in the names of both closure and justice on the eve of her own retirement. What surfaces are powerful portraits of individuals like Johnson and Cruz who sacrifice in order to make the world a more tolerant place for their respective contemporaries and de-facto descendants. But this film might belong to the late Sylvia Rivera, another founding mother of the LGBTQ civil rights movement, whose phoenix-like rise from the ashes of homelessness and alcoholism drives home the necessity of community.

“I actually hadn’t had an opportunity to realize that was an option,” one woman says about being gay in director Kris Erickson’s “Speak Your Truth,” an inspiring look at a handful of women who came out later in life, risking pretty much all for the chance to love and be loved. Many of the film’s subjects begin with the same narrative of a vague yet unmistakable dissatisfaction with a marriage, punctuated by a core-shaking kiss from a woman that brought the fuzzy into focus, followed by some difficult decisions. (And watching “The L Word,” obviously.) That’s where the stories diverge into varying reactions from their families, a mix of confusion, hurt, and anger, but eventually acceptance and always love. I do lament the film’s surprising absence of non-white women, since the minority coming-out experience
must carry with it a whole ‘nother set of crucial truths, but maybe that’s the sequel. (Sunday, October 8; 3 p.m.; Little 2)
Men in tutus and pointe shoes usually means you’re in for some ham-fisted, borderline homophobic physical comedy, but in the crowd-pleasing documentary “Rebels On Pointe,” these dudes got mad chops and no time for stereotypes. “High art and clever camp” is how one admirer describes Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, which began in 1974 as a humorous, all-male riff on Russian ballet companies, but over the last 40 years has morphed into an elite, international troupe of dancers capable of drawing large, adoring audiences all around the world. Director Bobbi Jo Hart gives us a primer on the Trocks’ history as we get to know several of the men in this close-knit group through their home lives and families as well as their dedication to their elegant but demanding craft. Most enjoyably, though, we’re treated to performance clips that illustrate the group’s unique blend of art, technique, and comedy, and it’s clear they’re having as much fun as their fans. (Monday, October 9; 6 p.m.; Little 1)
The Strange Ones PHOTO PROVIDED
The great noir writer Jim Thompson once said, “There is only one plot: Things are not what they seem,” and that certainly holds true in “The Strange Ones,” a
toast of Europe at the tender age of 71. (Wednesday, October 11; 6 p.m.; Little 1)
generically titled but totally nifty thriller that trails two brothers on the run from … something. Co-directors Lauren Wolkstein and Christopher Radcliff take their sweet time offering up any specifics, choosing instead to occasionally parcel out carefully rendered images, like that of a mortally injured man and a house in flames, of angry glares and panicky glances. To say much more, however, would diminish the film’s riveting power. Alex Pettyfer (“Magic Mike”) turns in a gutsy performance as brooding older brother Nick, though it’s James Freedson-Jackson who steals the film as Jeremiah, a quiet, fearful teenager forced to grow up a little too fast. It’s said that acting is reacting, and Freedson-Jackson’s face is astonishingly expressive, conveying more than actual words probably could. (Tuesday, October 10; 8:30 p.m.; Little 1)
Over the years I’ve observed a pretty consistent melody to stories about musicians; it goes a little something like: adversity, opportunity, prosperity, dependency, and recovery. That the rousing documentary “Chavela” adheres to this same path does not take away from the truly distinctive life of the late Chavela Vargas, a hard-living legend of Mexican folk music and free-spirited lesbian icon who had the tubes to live life entirely on her own androgynous terms. “She always sounded like she had been torn apart,” one interviewee says of Vargas’s heartbreaking vocal style, demonstrated in gorgeous footage aided by subtitled lyrics. The viewer is regaled with yarns about Vargas’s huge appetites — for fame, for beautiful ladies (like Frida Kahlo and Ava Gardner), and for tequila — but it would be alcoholism that sidelined Vargas for many years until Pedro Almodóvar spearheaded a roaring comeback that made her the
France’s recently anointed submission for this year’s Best Foreign Language Film Oscar is “120 Beats Per Minute,” an ambitious and affecting look at AIDS activists in early-1990’s Paris, brought to life by a superb ensemble cast. Writer-director Robin Campillo (check out his fantastic 2004 zombie flick, “Les Revenants”) called upon his own experiences as a member of ACT UP Paris to tell the story of a passionate group of women and men who were literally fighting for their lives. Though the touching relationship between ACT UP newcomer Nathan and founding member Sean (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, in a towering performance) often takes center stage, much of the film takes place at passionate meetings and protests, where determined young people try to make a difference. But it’s the startling shift in tone of a hushed denouement, followed by the potent catharsis of the closing scene, that should add Campillo’s name to any conversation about the most important filmmakers of his generation. (Thursday, October 12; 6 p.m.; Little 1)
Seána Kerslake’s feisty, vulnerable turn as a hotheaded ex-con anchors the irresistible Irish comedy “A Date for Mad Mary,” far and away my favorite of this year’s ImageOut crop. Mary returns from six months in the slammer to take up maid-of-honor duties for her adored best friend, Charlene, who has become a bridezilla in Mary’s absence. The plot is driven along by Mary’s need to prove to Charlene that she can score a plus-1 for the nuptials, resulting in a hilariously cringeworthy parade of dates as the unpolished Mary tries to live down her thuggish reputation and find a companion. What’s really happening, however, is a “Muriel’s Wedding”-flavored coming-of-age story in which Mary

attempts to rise above a stifling life in small-town Drogheda without relying upon her flying fists or foul mouth. Look for lovely supporting performances across the board as well as the most extraordinary on-screen kiss I’ve seen in quite a while. (Friday, October 13; 5:30 p.m.; Little 1)
A lean, twisty exercise in suspense that does not waste any time, “B&B” takes us on a getaway to the English countryside with Marc and Fred, newlyweds returning to the place that they had sued for denying them service on religious grounds. The innkeeper’s reaction is as Christian as you might imagine, setting a tone of tension that continues to rise with the confession of the innkeeper’s apparently gay son, the arrival of an intimidating Russian, and a late-night trip to a park that leaves one of these men dead. As with even the finest thrillers, there are a number of head-scratching “But why didn’t he just...” moments, but where writer-director Joe Ahearne succeeds is in his deft pacing and especially his casting. Tom Bateman (soon to be seen in Kenneth Branagh’s “Murder
on the Orient Express” remake) as Marc is the standout along with Paul McGann as the sardonic innkeeper, but none of Ahearne’s characters strike a false note even when making the most puzzling choices. (Friday, October 13; 10 p.m.; Little 1)
The immensely enjoyable comedy
“Sensitivity Training,” written and
directed by first-time filmmaker Melissa Finell, might be this festival’s sweetly sly sleeper. Dr. Serena Wolfe (Anna Lise Phillips), to put it kindly, is blunt. To put it accurately, however, the microbiologist has no use for the normal niceties that make a person pleasant, whether condescending to her coworkers or getting tossed from a movie theater on a regular basis. Irrepressibly cheerful sensitivity coach Caroline (Jill E. Alexander) is called in when Serena’s mouth finally takes her beyond the pale, and the priceless push-pull between the two stubborn women goes a long way in making up for a relatively thin plot. But when Serena begins experiencing unfamiliar feelings, is it that she’s never had a real friend or is she actually in love with another woman? Hey, it still counts as a coming-of-age tale even when that age is staring down 40. (Sunday, October 15; 6 p.m.; Little 1)

It’s funny when a band that doesn’t take itself too seriously sets its sights on making some serious music. Despite the revolving door of heavy talent, Eagles of Death Metal plays some of the freshest garage-infused rock music you’ll ever hear. Formed in 1998 in Palm Desert, California, the band chose its name not as an ominous moniker but as a less-threatening way to describe the band — for example, as if The Eagles played Death Metal.

If you recognize that some of the best musicians reside in metal and jazz then the Alex Skolnick Trio makes complete sense. Skolnick’s group spins originals and jazzy interpretations of heavy classics, giving the songs a new dimension.

The Buddhahood went through some shifts here and there after its beloved leader, Tony Cavagnaro, passed in 2007, yet it endured. Today the lineup is solid and better than ever, in particular in the horns, which lay down a deep shag and groove on the band’s latest recording, “The Space.” This is a new and improved and more adventurous Buddhahood, I tell ya. But don’t pay me no mind, let the nine chunky tracks on this pleasure platter testify further with each spin. The album opens with no surprises on the track “Rise,” a textbook B-hood treatment of the old one-drop. From there it expands to include some Muscle Shoals shuffle, a little bit-o-Latin love on “Temptress Eyes,” and the getup, get down of “Froba,” which has that sweatshirt-lurking-at-the-bottom-of-the-hamper funk. There are enough songs on here for those who want it classic in The Buddhahood’s established and masterful world beat aesthetic. But there is some branching out in many shiny directions here.

“Nowhere in Time” doesn’t drop until sometime in November, but I felt compelled to let you in on it now so you can clear your calendar. What I particularly dig abut Richie & Rosie’s new CD is the room; you can hear the walls as they take whatever strummed, plucked, or bowed notes the duo dishes out and bandies them about. For the most part, the attack on “Nowhere in Time” is dynamically exuberant. It isn’t until the third cut, “No Longer Lonely” that they — Richie Stearns and Rosie Newton — settle into some mellow down incantation. The harmonies on “Honey Bee” offer a shared lumpin-the-throat resolve. Their sadness is your sadness especially when the cello kicks in all lovely and vibrating just below the surface. The following tracks offer balance between melancholy and fire. This is beautiful old time music, stripped down. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

For a group that isn’t actually based in the city anymore, Auld Lang Syne simultaneously remains one of Rochester’s most beloved bands — particularly among area musicians — and arguably the city’s best-kept musical secret. The songwriting vehicle of married couple Kathy and Timothy Dick, who first met while studying music at Roberts Wesleyan College, Auld Lang Syne has quietly released four full-length albums plus a collection of unreleased songs over the course of a decade. The now Utica-based group has an upcoming gig at The Little Café at 8 p.m. on Friday, October 6. Kathy and Timothy write the kind of music that NPR music writers and radio personalities gush over. Lush, folk-based songs brushed with blues and rock, the music is replete with soulful and earnest vocals, exquisitely crafted and complex harmonies, and a warm, engrossing chordal vocabulary. A typical Auld Lang Syne show finds the couple sharing lead vocal duties, 16 CITY OCTOBER 4 - 10, 2017
with Kathy playing the accordion and Timothy plucking an acoustic guitar. The band released its most recent album, “Positively Phototactic,” this past summer, and the new record somehow sounds tighter, edgier, and even more intimate than previous Auld Lang Syne offerings. Timothy calls the album “a more muscular, poppier kind of record, which I’ve always wanted to do.” Songs like “God Threw Up,” “Forgotten Love,” and “Computer” have a radio-friendly quality that may surprise long-time fans of the band. “Lonely AF” injects gospel and funk into the quintessential Auld Lang Syne formula of superimposing dark, melancholy lyrics over uplifting, life-affirming music. Timothy sees a common thread between “Lonely AF” and “My First Soul,” an older song that has become a fan favorite at the group’s live shows. Some people said of “Lonely AF,” “‘Well, that’s a sad song, but it sounds so joyful.’ I think a lot of the tradition of blues and rock ‘n’ roll has been that way,” Timothy says. “So ‘My First Soul,’ is ultimately, I think, about trying to find that core part of you, that part of you that resonates with who you really are. And maybe losing that, and trying to get it back, or even trying to recognize that maybe you never lost it, but it’s a matter of scraping away some of the bullshit, the baggage.”
When asked about challenges to the band’s success, Auld Lang Syne acknowledges that in a traditional sense, marketing is the biggest obstacle. But the band has come to define success on its own terms: “We are able to make music, people hear it and we travel across the country and share it to small audiences from time to time,” Timothy says. “Maybe that is success in some small way. Maybe that’s enough for us for now.” For Auld Lang Syne, family takes precedence. “For us, building our whole life around getting the perfect band — we got three kids — it’s just not possible,” Timothy explains. “We like to travel. We want to have the freedom to travel. We can’t be in one place for long enough to get a group like that going.” “I think our focus is more on living, and balanced in a healthy way with our family, and being a part of communities, whether they be here in Utica or having pockets of community throughout the country,” Kathy adds. “We kind of just share the music that flows into us with other people, and we do it because we see the benefit of bringing people together in community and sharing our lives with each other. And it’s a very powerful, beautiful, healing thing to perform in house concerts or smaller spaces.” As for future plans, Auld Lang Syne hopes to continue its collaboration with Rochester blues-rock band Dangerbyrd. Several songs have already been recorded, and an eventual album release may be in the works. Auld Lang Syne already has an additional new album of its own to be released in the coming spring, if not the winter. Tentatively called “Kokopelli,” the forthcoming record will mark a return to the band’s signature sound, perfected on its gorgeous 2015 album, “Last of the Honey Bees.” Lyrically, a prominent theme has already emerged on “Kokopelli.” “I like to think of ourselves as nature,” Timothy says. “Nature isn’t just the scenery that’s around us. We’re a part of it. Oddly enough, I think we have to unlearn things that we’ve learned in order to remember that we’re a part of nature. So a lot of the songs on ‘Kokopelli’ have to do with unlearning.”

PUNK | SINGLE MOTHERS
Up-and-coming London, Ontario, degenerates Single Mothers sound like a punk band fronted by a perpetually drunk Allen Ginsberg. Its latest record, this year’s excellent “Our Pleasure,” is a cacophonous blend of nerve-shredding riffs blanketed by frontman Drew Thomson’s sneering tirades against popular society, “the scene,” domestic complacency, and pretty much anything else that stumbles downrange of his mile-a-minute bark. Each song hisses with a white-hot urgency that places you right in whatever disgusting basement these four Canucks are tearing to pieces. Single Mothers is a band for people who like their authors inebriated and their debauchery loud. Single Mothers will perform with Touché Amore, Gouge Away, and Coming Down on Wednesday, October 4, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $16. bugjar.com; singlemothersband.bandcamp.com. — BY ALEXANDER JONES

Installation view of work from Sarah Gilbert’s solo exhibition, “Signs and Signifiers,” now on view at More Fire Glass Studio. PHOTO COURTESY JENNIFER SCHINZING
Open-ended questions “Sarah Gilbert: Signs and Signifiers” THROUGH OCTOBER 28 MORE FIRE GLASS STUDIO, 36 FIELD STREET WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 9 A.M. TO 4 P.M.; FIRST FRIDAY OCTOBER 6, 5 TO 9 P.M. FREE 242-0450; MOREFIREGLASS.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
20 CITY OCTOBER 4 - 10, 2017
Sarah Gilbert’s solo show at More Fire Glass Studio is a homecoming of sorts. Now based in Tacoma, Washington, she’s originally from Rochester, and took her first glass class in 2000 at More Fire Glass Studio. Owner Elizabeth Lyons got her into glass blowing, Gilbert says. “I worked with her for a long time at the old studio at Rockland Place, and stayed in touch with her throughout the years.” Though there are three blown glass pieces in the show, the bulk of the work was created using the process of cameo engraving — a low-relief sculptural practice that dates back to ancient Rome and remained in use for creating portraits until photography became accessible to the masses.
Gilbert’s work connects to this history also because she has essentially created a wall of family “photos,” by documenting her kin through glass cameos of their hands. These are mounted on the walls of the gallery, and some linked hands indicate married couples. She begins with a rectangle formed from two pieces of sheet glass fused together, black on the bottom and white on top. “Then I use different diamond-embedded engraving wheels to grind away the white glass,” she says. “The more white glass I remove, the darker the shading becomes.” It’s reductive sculpture that is akin to drawing. “What I love about her work is the illustrative quality,” Lyons says. “There are these stories being told, and they’re drawings and paintings on glass.” Each of the hands has an incredible amount of dimension and texture: Children’s hands are smooth and look soft to the touch, while the adults’ are weathered and wrinkled in astoundingly fine detail. I felt an unexpected swell of emotion thinking about the care Gilbert must have taken to record this evidence of lived experience. “So much of our daily life is experienced through our hands,” Gilbert says in a provided statement. Each callous, cut, or
bump tells a story, and the whole becomes “a representation or journal of our lives,” she says. But the work is not just about the dearness of family. Through her work, Gilbert contemplates questions about navigating the big, scary openness of life and refers to literal guides and tools we use to keep from getting lost and ensure our survival. While the identity of individuals remains secret, each hand is engraved with bits of imagery that symbolically connects it to an age group. The younger hands have whimsical emblems on them that contain stuffed animals, musical notes, and toys — all objects that provide comfort or amusement. But the hands that show more evidence of age are adorned with more serious symbols, or what Gilbert calls “more concrete, tool-like imagery.” These include guides both natural and manipulated, such as constellations, magnets, and other tools used for navigational purposes. There are also indicators of the seasons or passage of time, such as a V of geese aloft in a steely sky, or a couple of hands with a pair of metronomes in synch with one another. Gilbert also engraved symbols on the three blown-glass sculptures that rest on pedestals in the space. Each of the forms is shaped like a slightly flattened teardrop, and rests on its side so that the pointed bit is positioned at about a 45-degree angle. Gilbert says the pieces are meant to vaguely reference a directional shape while not interfering with the narratives that are engraved on the white layer of glass. These works are not about specific individuals, but about “things that would deter you from getting to your destination, things that stand in our way,” she says. “How many times can you make that wrong turn or wrong decision before you recognize it and find a navigational tool, or a way of getting to where you’re trying to get to?” Symbols of death, danger, and distraction in the form of addiction are carved into the surfaces and in some cases, highlighted with a dazzling coat of gold leaf. The labor-intensive aspect of her work is actually a draw for her, Gilbert says: “It’s very meditative. I can kind of just zone out. It feels very much like drawing for hours.” And the blown-glass works offer the best of both worlds, because she works with a team of people to create the forms – which is social and physical – but the for the engraving part, she says, “I get to have time by myself that’s very introspective.”

COMEDY | THE SECOND CITY In the world of improv, The Second City is legendary. The sketch and improvisational comedy group originated in Chicago, and quickly became a pipeline for “Saturday Night Live.” Among the notable names Second City has churned out: Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Gilda Radner, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, and Cecily Strong. That’s quite the lineup of famous funny people, and it poses a question. Is the next great comic on Second City’s current roster? The group regularly sends out touring companies across the country, so Rochester will get a chance to find out. The Second City will perform Saturday, October 7, at St. John Fisher College’s Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Athletic Center (3690 East Avenue). $5 for students; $10 for alumni, faculty, and staff; and $20 for the general public. Tickets can be purchased online at sjfc.edu, or at the door. Alumni should purchase tickets through the Alumni Weekend registration page, also found at sjfc.edu. — BY SCOTT PUKOS

THEATER | ‘DEATHTRAP’ With Halloween just around the corner, all things spooky are eerily creeping back into our lives. The College at Brockport is taking full advantage of the fall feeling by kicking off its season with “Deathtrap,” a melodrama by Ira Levin. The play within a play follows writer Sidney Bruhl as he discovers the dark side of temptation while trying to recapture his past success in Hollywood. Piloted by Director Michael C. Krickmire, the long-running comedy thriller leans heavily on the suspense-filled twists and turns, and misdirection in seemingly every act.
You may be eligible if: • You are between the ages of 18-65 years • You have been using e-cigarettes only, or non-smokers. Contact Call our Research Coordinator 585-273-2843
“Deathtrap” will be performed Friday, October 6, through Saturday, October 21, at the Tower Fine Arts Center, 180 Holley Street, Brockport. 7:30 p.m. on October 6, 7, 19, 20, and 21; 2 p.m. on October 8. Tickets are $9 for students; $17 general. 395-2787; fineartstix.brockport.edu. — BY KATHY LALUK

SPECIAL EVENT | GENESEE RIVER ROMANCE The Genesee River is the reason our city got the nickname the “Flour City” — it powered the mills that turned Rochester into the country’s first boomtown in the 1800’s. Each year, the city pays homage to the river and its impact with the Genesee River Romance event. The three-day weekend includes guided tours of historic downtown neighborhoods, the Charlotte Genesee Lighthouse, and the High Falls Interpretive Center and Museum; boat and canoe tours on the river itself; fishing; and live music with buskers on the Pont de Rennes Bridge. Families can find hayrides and pumpkin decorating, while the more adventurous can try out the Charlotte Cemetery Tour or the Haunted Gorge Tours in Lower Falls Park. Also, on Saturday, October 7, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., Greentopia will hold an EcoDistrict launch event and EcoFair in the High Falls district and along the bridge. (greentopia. org/ecodistrict for more information.) Genesee River Romance activities kick off Friday, October 6, at 7 a.m. with a Fall Salmon Run at Seth Green Drive and Norton Street.

[ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
Geneseo Square Mall, 243-2691, rochestertheatermanagement.com
Just months after having his talents utterly wasted on “The Mummy,” Tom Cruise gets one of the best roles he’s had in years with the true-crime black comedy “American Made.” Reteaming with his “Edge of Tomorrow” director, Doug Liman, Cruise and company tell the story of Barry Seal, a TWA pilot who— eager to make a quick buck—found himself embroiled in some of the U.S. government’s

shadiest dealings throughout the 1980s. As demonstrated with their last collaboration, Liman knows exactly how to use Cruise’s movie star charisma to subvert audience expectations. Deploying his trademark megawatt smile at every opportunity, Cruise charms even when proving that Seal isn’t the most likeable of guys. He’s also a thrill seeker who, as the film opens, is bored enough in his day job that he spices things up by faking some turbulence in the middle of a red eye, just so he can jolt his sleeping passengers awake. So when he’s approached by a CIA pencilpusher named Schafer (a delightfully slimy Domhnall Gleeson) to fly through South America taking aerial photos that would help the U.S. government keep tabs on the region’s various communist groups, Seal jumps at the opportunity. From there, he’s soon a liaison to Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, parlaying that into a bit of drug smuggling for the Medellín cartel, then running guns to the Contras in Nicaragua. Serving

these ever-shifting masters makes Seal very, very rich along the way. At a certain point, the exact path of what’s getting delivered where and to whom gets intentionally convoluted; it’s Liman and screenwriter Gary Spinelli’s way of emphasizing what a tangled, messy web it all was. At key points throughout the film, various characters ask the question “is this illegal?”, and get the answer “as long as you’re working for the good guys.” Of course, the film is smart enough to realize that “good guys” really means “whoever’s currently in power.” We’re following an amoral scumbag who only thinks he’s a hero. Meanwhile, Seal’s wife Lucy (played by Sarah Wright, in what’s hardly the most egregious example of a pretty young actress being paired with a veteran actor far too old for them, but it’s still distracting) is wary at first, but once she’s able to enjoy the extravagant lifestyle her husband’s actions are able to afford her, she grows much more acquiescent. While “American Made” doesn’t reach heights of “The Wolf of Wall Street” (the recent gold standard in bitterly funny tales about the decaying of the American Dream), it tells a fascinating story with style and flair, and it zips by as we wait patiently to see if Barry Seal’s unsavory activities will catch up with him. Liman doesn’t dig too deeply, sacrificing some of the teeth Martin Scorsese gave “Wolf,” but when you’re being blinded by that Tom Cruise grin, you barely even notice.

“Victoria & Abdul” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY STEPHEN FREARS OPENS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6
Detailing a little-known chapter in the history of the British monarchy, Stephen Frears’ crowdpleasing period piece “Victoria & Abdul” follows the unexpected friendship that blossomed between the aging Queen Victoria and a young Indian manservant. Working as a lowly cletrk at a prison in Agra, Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal) is plucked from obscurity and tasked with traveling 5000 miles to present Her Majesty (Judi Dench) with a ceremonial coin as a token of his country’s esteem. The handsome young man catches the Queen’s eye during the formal proceedings, and she finds herself intrigued enough to request that his stay be extended. As Victoria enlists Abdul as her personal servant, their conversations stir an interest in Indian culture, and she promotes him to be her munshi (teacher), requesting that he tutor her in Urdu and the Koran. Gradually Abdul rises through the ranks, raising eyebrows in the aristocracy, baffling her staff, and infuriating her son Edward (Eddie Izzard). Having previously played Victoria two decades ago in John Madden’s “Mrs. Brown,” Dench delivers a wonderful performance as a much wearier, lonelier version of the character. But while there’s no doubt Victoria enjoys her new companion and values his friendship, there’s no sense of how Abdul feels about anything that’s happening to him. Beyond remarking early on that “life is an adventure!,” we get precious little insight into who Abdul is as an individual. A popular star in Bollywood, Fazal has a charming presence, but that lack of interiority is a major flaw in a character who accounts for half the film’s title. “Victoria & Abdul” is a handsomely mounted production; amusing and occasionally touching. But it’s hard not to think that the same story told from Karim’s point of view had the potential to be something much more interesting.
Reel tricks and treats [ BONUS FEATURES ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
With the recent release of the new iPhone 8, a fresh iOS, and the hotly anticipated iPhone X right on its heels, thousands of people are in the process of updating their phones. So the time seems right to add a shiny new app or two to the download queue. At the top of any cinephiles list should be Kodak’s Reel Film app, developed right here in Rochester. Also available for Android and accessible online at reelfilm.kodak.com, this nifty little app allows users to locate nearby theater venues that offer the opportunity to catch a movie projected on film. Launched late last year, the idea for the Reel Film App first came about back in 2015, when Quentin Tarantino’s 70mm roadshow presentation of “The Hateful Eight” was touring the country. Sites like Fandango often don’t include format information for screenings, which is a problem if the format itself is a draw for certain audiences. “Providing visibility to the venues showing these real, unique films is really what it’s all about,” says Matt Stoffel, Web Strategy and Development Manager for Kodak. That initial spark of an idea was followed by a year of development, which involved communicating with staff from theaters across the country, who helped guide what the app would ultimately look like. “It was really a national effort,” says Mobile and Web Developer Larry Herb. These assisting theaters included our very own Little and Dryden Theatres, as well as the Alamo Drafthouse and the New Beverly in Los Angeles. Their input helped make the app a useful resource to film fans the world over, with 174 participating theaters across the nation, as well as Ireland and the UK. And the database is actively growing, with new venues constantly being added. The rebranded Kodak Center Theater (200 West Ridge Road) is just one of the most recent additions, fresh to the app’s database as of last week.
The app provides an option to set up notifications for local screenings (the proximity automatically starts at 50 miles, though an update allowing you to adjust that setting should be coming in the near future). Plus, the official Twitter account constantly tweets out all the film screenings happening each day, so there’s no reason to miss a single frame of celluloid showing anywhere in your area. In addition to film screenings, the app also features a section devoted to in-production movie projects shooting on film. At the heart of Kodak Reel Film app is the company’s commitment to maintaining the accessibility of film. Says Stoffel, “We want people to understand that it’s still around, it’s still totally viable, and it’s really something special.” Coming Attractions: The “Banff Radical Reels Tour” will be showing selected highlights from the annual Banff Mountain Film Festival in Alberta, Canada. The festival features the best films from around the world with focus on outdoor adventure sports. The “Radical Reel Tours” screening will be held Wednesday, October 4, 7 p.m. at RIT’s Ingle Auditorium. Tickets $12$20. Visit rittickets.com or call 475-4121 for more info. For the month of October, the Little Theatre and Fright Rags’ collaborative Saturday Night Rewind film series will be expanding from its usual monthly screenings to become a weekly showcase for classic horror movies. Beginning with a “Creepshow” double feature this Saturday at 7 p.m., other selections include “Hellraiser” and the original “Halloween” with actress P.J. Soles in attendance (look for an interview with the actress in this space next week). There’s even a mystery film screening on Saturday, October 28. Check thelittle. org for a complete schedule.
Presenting three days of horrific cinematic treats, the fourth Upstate New York Horror Film Festival will be held Friday, October 13 through Sunday, October 15 at the Villages Screening Room (1471 Long Pond Road). The festivities include a timely screening of “Friday the 13th” at 10 p.m. on Friday, and continue through the weekend with screenings of 150 short and feature-length independent horror films. Various ticket options and packages are available; check the festival Facebook page for more information. Hoopla!, a collective made up of Rocky Horror enthusiasts from across Western New York will host “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” at The Cinema Theater (957 South Clinton Avenue). The evening will feature a screening of the cult classic film, with a full shadowcast performance and audience participation. The show starts at 11:30 p.m. Tickets are $5, and prop bags are available for $2. If you missed your chance to see Jordan Peele’s instant classic horror-thriller “Get Out” on the big screen, the Little’s got you covered. The theater will screen the film in conjunction with the Rochester Association of Black Journalists, as part of their ongoing Black Cinema Series series on Friday, October 27, at 7 p.m. The film will be followed by a panel discussion. The Dryden Theatre screens East German drama “The Architects” on Saturday, October 28 at 7:30 p.m. The film, about a middle-aged architect struggling with construction on his first major commission, was the last film completed in the East German film studio system before the end of the German Democratic Republic. A Q&A with director Peter Kahane will follow. eastman.org Have information about an upcoming film event or screening? Send details to adam.lubitow@gmail.com.
