Need is growing for Early Intervention

Thank you for your extensive article, “An Ounce of Intervention,” on the crisis facing the Early Intervention Program. This is the kind of publicity that is encouraging to those of us who have been urging the state for many years to increase the reimbursement to a realistic level for agencies that provide essential services to very young children with demonstrable disabilities.

Because providing these services has meant that the agencies have been continuously losing money in order to do so, many have ended or restricted their EI programs. This has created a local backlog of over 150 children and their families waiting to receive the services that their individual evaluations have demonstrated are needed in order for the children to be able to have a chance to overcome their developmental disabilities.

The article may have given the impression to those readers who are not acquainted with the EI program that it is only for children with the most severe challenges, such as those who were featured in your article. It is important for parents and the public 2 CITY

to understand that EI is also needed to prevent life-long disabilities when children demonstrate delays early in their lives.

For example, children demonstrating language delays may be found to have a treatable hearing loss resulting from early ear infections, which can then be overcome with speech and language services, coordinated with the all-important caregivers. As a speech pathologist for many years, I have personally assisted hundreds of children whose early delays were ameliorated through EI, and who went on to success in school later on.

Of course, the “elephant in the room” is the enormous increase in children diagnosed with autism, which has pressured educational programs at all levels to provide the essential interventions, many to the breaking point. The incidence has increased from 1 in 10,000 when I first entered the profession, to 1 in 70, conservatively, at present.

Some local early childhood classrooms have several children out

of fewer than 18 enrollees with the diagnosis or suspicion of autism. In my opinion, New York State and the nation as a whole must deal with this looming crisis by diverting funds away from less urgent needs, both for the treatment and prevention of autism.

Questions from the loss of Hart’s

Hart’s Local Grocers officially closed on March 22, after five years of struggling attempts to capture a consistent customer base from, essentially, the hundreds of people migrating back to downtown Rochester.

This migration and revitalization was an impressive attempt to rebuild a fallen downtown. It has seemed to be working, as I look from my 17th-floor perspective and watch the resurrection of empty, failed real estate that sat vacant for decades. And more and more pricey residential real estate is being conceived and built around the Inner Loop. This all represents progress which

(to me) is unprecedented in recent local history.

The closing of Hart’s was a (predictably) disappointing loss of a vital and basic resource for me, a service that most residents take for granted.

I live downtown, and I love living downtown. I do not drive. When Hart’s opened, it was a hopeful prospect for my personal needs, conveniences, and other commerce in the epicenter of exciting new residential growth.

I remain puzzled and frustrated as to why these grocers failed after only five years. Granted, they overestimated their audience, and (probably) didn’t have the right demographics before going all “specialtylocal provider” and organic with their products. That led to higher price tags on everything because of their significant lack of buying power. And they may not have considered the fact that people would rather travel further out to the big-box suburban grocers, pay less, and get precisely what they want, when they wanted it.

I personally was a dedicated customer of Hart’s-from the time it opened. It was a tremendous and convenient resource, only a block away, and I never shopped anywhere else after that. I liked the relationships I developed, from department managers to checkout providers.

It was a business gamble, and they lost. I wonder who is to blame here.

Were their demographic estimates premature? Were the “specialty” intentions over-reaching? Or was it the almost complete absence (to this day) of residential sidewalk traffic?

This retailer will be sorely

missed – not only because of convenience and the “local” relationship I had with them, but also because it implies a much bigger problem to consider: Which comes first, the cart or the horse?

Build it and they will come, they say, but every attempt and failure shines a light on a much bigger question: Is the urban experience really returning to Rochester, or are we just another empty “shell” being occupied by complacent tenants who are too reluctant to support local business and walk the streets, before and after dark?

‘Hotel Mumbai’ and the need to remember

I take exception to Adam Lubitow’s closing paragraph of his review of “Hotel Mumbai” (“I can’t help questioning the necessity of a film such as this….”)

I read the book but, more important, I was witness to the horrors of 9/11.

That day, I stood across the river, watching the Towers burn – and fall.

The following days were a nightmare – the constantly wailing sirens, the photos of missing loved ones plastered all over the city, desperately seeking news of friends who worked in the area, charred paper lying in the gutters. But worst of all was the smell that permeated the city and surrounding areas – of burning concrete, paper, wires, and plastic.

And bones.

We vowed to never forget that day. Yet for too many of us that memory is fading.

We need a film such as this to remind us that this horror can happen again – here.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Racism’s alive and well in Monroe County This community has spent a lot of time fighting racism. We’ve had multiple big initiatives and events, the most recent one this past Friday: the Stand Against Racism march organized by the YWCA. Meantime, racism is thriving. The latest examples: racial slurs in Pittsford schools, a stunningly mishandled Black History Month project in a Pittsford elementary school, and a flabbergastingly clueless response by white adults.

This isn’t just a problem in Pittsford. We know about these particular incidents thanks to reporting by the Democrat and Chronicle’s Justin Murphy and WXXI’s Evan Dawson.

Murphy’s report tells of black elementary and high school students being called the N-word, a Korean child being mocked for his looks, white students joking about nooses. The mother of an elementary school child who had been called the N-word by four different students tells of holding her sobbing child on her lap; “now, for him,” she said, “going into that building will never be the same.”

And Murphy quoted a black teenager who had repeatedly been called the N-word by a white track team member: “She said she was hurt not just by her teammate’s slur, but also by other students who later jokingly retold the story in ‘angry black woman voice.’”

A group of parents had asked Pittsford Superintendent Mike Pero and the Pittsford school board “to issue a public statement against racism,” Murphy wrote.

Instead, Pero wrote a more general letter to district families, “asking parents to ‘talk with your child about the importance of respecting their peers.’”

Dawson’s report for WXXI focuses on a Black History Month project in which a fifth-grade class created posters celebrating African American inventors. Some of the posters showed photos of white men, however, not the inventors themselves. A photo of President Andrew Johnson – a good example of a racist president – illustrates a poster about Powell Johnson, the inventor of protective eyewear used by firefighters and other people exposed to intense light.

The posters were displayed – for several weeks – in a school hallway. Nobody noticed the errors. Not the teacher whose class created them, not other adults in the building.

And when Dawson asked Pero about the posters, Pero didn’t seem to understand the seriousness of the situation (not to mention showing a peculiar

Concerned about incidents of racism, parents ask for a public forum on race.

A superintendent says ‘that would not be constructive.’

attitude about scholastic accuracy). The objective of the Black History poster project “was a real positive one,” Pero told Dawson. The students weren’t being graded on their posters, he said, so the teacher didn’t check every one.

District and school officials had talked about the problem, he told Dawson, and had worked with school staff “to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

And that was that. “Pero said the issue was handled,” Dawson reported, “the project would not be revisited, and the information on the posters would not be corrected. He says he was concerned that the issue was becoming too political, and teachers would be afraid to teach this material in the future.”

Pittsford parents have asked for a public forum on race, Dawson reported. “Pero says that would not be constructive at this time,” Dawson said.

It’s obvious that Pittsford school officials missed an important educational opportunity, on several levels. But the officials’ behavior also exposes a larger problem. Reluctance to call racism by its name, concern about how white teachers will feel, concern that a forum on racism is “political”: This is systemic racism – quiet, subtle, and very, very damaging.

We’re sure not making much progress against racism here in the Community of Monroe.

EDUCATION | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

News

RCSD gets Elia’s orders Rochester school district leaders have six weeks to assure state education officials that they know how to correct the district’s problems – and that they can follow through.

Late last year, State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia ordered district officials to produce an improvement plan responding to the critical assessment

by Distinguished Educator Jaime Aquino. But in March, Elia rejected their first attempt, saying it didn’t reflect a coherent vision and wasn’t realistic.

At the time, Elia promised to send a more detailed list of her concerns, and last week, she did that. In a 29-page report, she offered detailed comments on all aspects of the district’s initial plan.

In her letter to district officials accompanying the report, Elia says that the timelines in the first plan “appear aspirational,” especially given the enormous leadership challenges facing the district. Among them: the search for a new superintendent. School board members have selected four finalists, but it’s unlikely that they’ll have a new superintendent in place before the end of this school year.

Adding to the instability in the district: Four of the seven school board seats will be on the ballot in the June 25 primary election. Leadership instability and dysfunction on the school board are among Elia’s major concerns.

If the district’s revised plan isn’t satisfactory, state officials might step in, perhaps putting a temporary monitor or an appointed board in charge, or perhaps considering mayoral control. During a conference call with the media last week, Elia didn’t mention any possibilities.

“All options are on the table,” she said. But, she added, “we’re in the middle of this process,” and she plans to let that process continue.

The state legislature and the governor would have to approve any action changing the governance of the district, Elia noted. Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren and others have urged the state to act urgently, but the current session of the state legislature wraps up at the end of June, less than a month after the school district has to submit its revised reform plan to Elia. The chances are slim that the legislature would act before the end of the current term. And the next term doesn’t start until January.

Hot weather encourages the production of ground-level ozone, which forms when chemicals in fossil fuel exhaust react with sunlight. A recent American Lung Association report warns that increasing temperatures from climate change could lead to impaired air quality in urban areas, including in Monroe County.

ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

Report links air quality, climate, and fossil fuels As human-influenced climate change makes the world warmer, hot days are impairing the air quality in urban areas across the United States – including in Monroe County.

That’s the thrust of the American Lung Association’s recently released 2019 State of the Air report. The annual report, marking its 20th year, grades the nation’s metro areas on ozone and particle pollution, both of which pose threats to people with asthma, cardiovascular disease, and other health problems.

For its reports, the Lung Association uses the most recent three years of available US Environmental Protection Agency data. The 2019 analysis uses figures from 2015 through 2017, with the data coming from EPA air monitoring stations.

The report shows that particle pollution hasn’t been a problem for Monroe County in about a decade.

Particle pollution typically comes from sources like diesel truck exhaust, forest fires, and coal-burning power plants.

State and federal regulations have led to substantial reductions in particle pollution in New York’s cities.

But Monroe County’s ozone pollution grade dropped from a “B” in last year’s

report to a “C” in this year’s, which indicates an upward tick in the number of days with elevated ozone levels. Between 2015 and 2017, Monroe County had five days where ozone levels rose to the point where they posed a risk for “sensitive populations” such as children, the elderly, and people with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, the report says.

Ground-level ozone is formed when certain chemicals in fossil-fuel exhaust react with sunlight, and hot weather encourages ozone production. The relationship between heat and ozone production provides some important context for Monroe County’s increase in high-ozone days.

“This year’s report covered the three warmest years in modern history and demonstrates the increased risk of harm from air pollution that comes despite other protective measures being in place,” says the introduction to State of the Air 2019.

In another section, the report says that ozone pollution has worsened in much of the US. It also notes that from 1970 to 2017, Americans almost doubled the number of miles they drove and the energy they consumed. It also notes that carbon dioxide emissions increased 23

percent from 1970 to 2017, although a graph in the report shows emissions levels turned downward starting in 2007.

The report highlights important questions about how to maintain air quality in a warming world, says Sue Hughes-Smith, a Brighton resident, climate activist, and adjunct environmental health professor at SUNY Brockport.

It criticizes more and more sources of air the administration’s proposals to roll pollution,” Hughes-Smith says. That back vehicle fuel economy and emissions means getting electricity from renewable sources instead of from fossil fuel-powered requirements and to undo an Obama-era initiative to cut carbon emissions from plants, as well as switching to electric power plants. vehicles and efficient heating system And the report blasts a move by EPA powered by electricity, she says. officials to remove independent scientists Hughes-Smith and other climate from the agency’s scientific advisory activists say those same shifts are committee on air quality and to limit the important for addressing climate change research that agency scientists are allowed as a whole.

The Lung Association report also takes to consider.

Divisions linger over Whole Foods Center Whole Foods Center in Brighton looks like it’s progressing. The project’s developer has demolished the former Mario’s restaurant building at the nascent plaza’s Monroe Avenue site, and crews have started dismantling the former Clover Lanes.

But the development’s future depends heavily on the outcome of nine lawsuits filed against Brighton’s town government after officials approved the project last year. One of those lawsuits was filed by the Clover / Allen’s Creek Neighborhood Association, which represents homeowners adjacent to Whole Foods Center site. The rest were filed by either Save Monroe Avenue, a coalition of largely unidentified businesses, or Brighton Grassroots, a residents’ group.

The lawsuits have already delayed the project, Danny Daniele, president of the Daniele Family Companies, said in an e-mail. The company had hoped to have the buildings demolished and the land cleaned up by the end of February, he said, but if the town prevails in the lawsuits, construction could start before the summer.

“It’s really sad how much our community is losing out” because of a limited number of people suing the town to keep the project from moving forward, Daniele said.

Whole Foods Center, as approved by the town, will be an 83,700-square-foot plaza anchored by a 50,000-square-foot Whole Foods grocery store. The only other confirmed tenant is a Starbucks, although several other retailers – most new to the Rochester area – have approached the developers about space in the plaza, Daniele said.

The project was controversial from the moment the Daniele family announced it in March 2015. Some Brighton residents, particularly those living close to the site, were immediately concerned that replacing Mario’s and the bowling alley with a Whole Foods and other retail would worsen already problematic traffic on and around that part of Monroe Avenue.

The approved project includes two new traffic signals and plans to consolidate or otherwise reconfigure the entrances for the businesses on the other side of Monroe. That work is meant to help traffic move more smoothly and safely through the corridor.

Brighton officials approved the project through an incentive zoning process, a common approach where local governments allow developers to deviate from some requirements – typically building size, site density, and

parking – in exchange for some extra, tangible community benefits.

Brighton officials are counting the traffic signals and driveway modification plans among those benefits, since the Daniele Family Companies will be paying for them. The developer has also committed to improving the Auburn Trail from the Pittsford town line to Highland Avenue.

“That Auburn Trail is something we’ve wanted to do for 20 years, and this will help us to do it without spending a nickel,” Brighton Supervisor Bill Moehle says. “And that’s a great investment for the community.”

Between Clover Street and Allens Creek Road, the trail runs on privately owned land, but an easement held by the town provides for public use of it. The section between Allens Creek Road and Highland Avenue is owned by Rochester Gas and Electric and currently has no public access easement.

The town also estimates that the project will generate $400,000 in tax revenue annually for Brighton, the Brighton school district, and Monroe County, Moehle says.

Size has been at the heart of the Whole

Foods plaza conflict from the start. That’s reflected in the public relations campaigns that Save Monroe Avenue and Brighton

Grassroots are currently waging. Both groups refer to the project as “supersized” and claimed that developers got a “special deal” for it.

Town officials and the Danieles have responded by questioning who makes up and funds the groups, and by implying or stating directly that they think other companies – Wegmans in particular – are putting up money for ads and lawsuits.

The lawsuits, which challenge various aspects of the town’s review process and approvals, also make an issue of Whole Foods Center’s potential size. For example, Brighton Grassroots argues in one of its lawsuits that the town’s approval of the project should be reversed because Brighton officials didn’t properly account for the traffic it will generate. A Monroe County Supreme Court judge dismissed two of Brighton Grassroots’ lawsuits, but the organization has appealed and expects decisions on both cases soon.

The Clover / Allens Creek Neighborhood Association argued in its lawsuit that the town inappropriately gave the developer public property by allowing it to alter the Auburn Trail. The neighborhood group figures that if it can block the developer from using the trail land, it can force the developer to downsize the project. Monroe County

Supreme Court Justice Dan Doyle ruled against the association; the group appealed and expects a decision soon.

“We have no issue with Whole Foods being built there, but it’s the fact that they’re building a massive amount of retail, restaurant space, in addition to a 50,000-square-foot grocery store,” says Howie Jacobson, Brighton Grassroots’ leader. “It’s totally inappropriate for the size of that property.”

Jacobson and other critics say the town should have made the Daniele Family

Companies pursue the project using existing zoning and standard approvals processes, which would have resulted in a smaller development.

Moehle says Whole Foods Center is a good project and is consistent with smartgrowth approaches as well as the town’s Comprehensive Plan. He pushes back on the idea that it might have been smaller, or better, without the incentive zoning process.

The Daniele Family Companies would have needed zoning variances and conditional-use permits from the town,

When I interviewed Jacqueline Powers, the owner of Orange Glory Café, I successfully refrained from asking, “What’s the story, Orange Glory?” She doesn’t deserve that.

Dad joke omission is the least I could do since throughout my 10 years in Rochester, I had seen the café dozens of times while strolling up East Avenue on the way to The Little Theatre, and had not set foot in it once. I made plenty of excuses as to why not: It looks too small, it’s kind of dark in there; there are only a few tables, and they are all full; they closed two hours ago.

Well, I have no excuse now. Orange Glory Café has moved from its small spot on East Avenue to 480 East Main Street.

It is a mere three blocks from the old Little Theatre location, but the short distance makes a world of difference. The glass façade facing Main Street allows the restaurant to be bathed in daylight, so it feels like you are outside on a spring day no matter where you sit, which is much more in line with the café’s motif. The Main Street location garners more foot traffic from students, patrons, and employees of neighboring Eastman School of Music, the YMCA, School 58, and the other businesses along Main Street. The location change is so fitting that, though it has only been a few weeks, it feels like Orange Glory Café has resided on Main Street this whole time.

Relocating the café is the latest step in a long journey for Powers. She didn’t go to culinary school, but she has always loved to cook and bake. Her day jobs were not satisfying to her, so 15 years ago, she started her own catering business, and rented kitchen space to fulfill orders. She also bought a small, 12-inch orange tree. Then the opportunity arose for her to rent the restaurant space next to The Little. She says she enjoyed her time there, and her catering business and café gained popularity. And that orange tree continued to grow.

The Little’s most recent round of renovations meant that Powers’ café space would be

phased out the theater’s expansion, so she needed a new place to house Orange Glory. The 480 East Main Street location was available, and she snatched it up. That orange tree is now four times its original size, basking in the sunlit space.

Much like everything on her menu, Powers got to build her new kitchen from scratch, which is more spacious and brighter than the basement kitchen she had on East Avenue. The bulk of her work is still in catering, but Jacqueline says she enjoys creating food for the café, and she has more freedom to diversify and expand her menu.

On a given day, Orange Glory offers a wide range of sandwiches, salads, wraps, and soups, and there is a good amount of vegetarian options on the menu as well. I had a hearty chickpea eggplant patty with mozzarella on a whole wheat bun, grilled ($8). For $2 more I got a side of sesame noodles and a lemon cookie. “Patty” understates the size of this sandwich, but I gather “a fist of eggplant and chickpea” would not sound as appetizing to most people.

The mozzarella melted evenly over the patty, so with every bite I experienced the dueling sweet-savory taste of roasted chickpeas and eggplant, mellowed out by the mozzarella. The noodles are served cool, tossed with fresh red peppers and light amounts of soy sauce and oil. And the lemon cookie was the perfect post-meal treat.

The zesty taste of lemon married nicely with the white chocolate chunks in the cookie, especially when paired with a dark brewed coffee, provided by Fuego Coffee Roasters.

The whole meal was like a dream, and I look forward to trying the other items Orange Glory offers. Also on the menu is a mushroom artichoke sandwich with avocado and cilantro dressing, a spinach burger, and a chicken salad wrap that all looked like they needed to be mine. And that is just the regular menu. The specials board boasts as dynamic a list of choices as the regular menu. This week there was a tomato basil soup and a black bean wrap that stuck out to me. I look forward to seeing what Jacqueline will make next week.

EASTMAN MUSEUM GEARS UP FOR THE 5TH NITRATE PICTURE SHOW [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

If you’re a film buff in Rochester, you’ve likely developed a Pavlovian response to the slow rise of the Dryden Theatre’s iconic gold curtain as it reveals the cinema’s pristine silver screen. Along with the dimming of the house lights, the sight inspires a certain excitement, signaling not just that the film’s about to begin, but that you’re about to enter another world. And when that curtain rises on the first screening of the Eastman Museum’s Nitrate Picture Show each year, it offers viewers the chance to embrace a rare piece of film history.

With just a hint of danger attached.

From its inception in 2015, the Nitrate Picture Show has been dedicated exclusively to screening nitrate prints, allowing classic and archival films — most at least 60 to 70 years old — to be seen on the big screen in their original format. In some cases, for the first time in decades.

Made from a base of nitrocellulose (a material closely related to gunpowder), nitrate film was the dominant format for motion pictures from about 1895 to 1948. Though nitrate has a picture quality that remains unparalleled for its vibrancy, clarity, and depth, it also had a troubling habit of bursting into flames at the slightest provocation, leading to its discontinued use.

By 1951 the less volatile “safety film,” made from cellulose acetate, became the standard. After that point, nitrate prints were rarely screened, both because of their combustive nature and the simple fact that few cinemas remained that were still equipped to screen them safely.

Nitrate film is also physically unstable, and even when treated with the proper care it will naturally deteriorate and shrink over time. Each year sees more and more films lost to history as they became too damaged to project, and those casualties led the adage “nitrate won’t wait” to proliferate amongst film preservationists and historians. But nitrate’s aesthetic qualities and its rarity are what have made it the most desirable of film formats for cinephiles.

And the Nitrate Picture Show has given them everything they’ve wanted.

Creating a dialogue between art and technology, the Nitrate Picture Show exemplifies the Eastman Museum’s mission to bring film history out of the archives and invest it with fresh life. In the case of celluloid, that means projecting it to a rapt audience of enthusiastic film fans from around the world. Movies were meant to be watched, after all, and the festival is an opportunity to educate the public by immersing them fully in the history of the medium. continues on page 12

rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

It’s a mission that Festival Directors Jared Case and Deborah Stoiber (working with the Eastman Museum’s former curator of film exhibition Jurij Meden, now head of programming at the Austrian Film Museum) take seriously.

“The impetus behind this whole thing was we want to share,” Case says. It’s that James Card philosophy, he says, referring to the founding curator of the Dryden. “He said that his idea of hell is having all these films to show and no one to show them to. So having this place here and the ability to show nitrate film only to the people in the Rochester area seemed so limited. We wanted to expand that, make an entire weekend out of it, and make it a destination for people to come and be able to experience nitrate projection.”

And since it’s become a tradition for the festival to keep the film lineup a secret until the morning it begins, people are coming purely for that experience, in whatever form it happens to come in.

The result is a festival that caters to those with an interest in what films were made in cinema’s early decades, but also the history of how they were made. And the event is doing its part in upholding Rochester’s reputation around the world as a “film town.”

Fittingly, despite the Nitrate Picture Show’s full schedule of lectures, workshops, book signings, and tours, the film screenings remain the stars. Packed showings let audiences appreciate the look of nitrate for themselves, from the saturation of colors to the rich contrast between its gleaming whites and deep blacks. Those are especially evident

in the heavy shadows seen in noir films, which is why the festival’s curators have made a point to schedule one each year.

THE NOTORIOUSLY COMBUSTIBLE NATURE OF THE MEDIUM also gives

the festival that slight aura of danger, which the museum is more than happy to play up: “Film is cool, Nitrate is hot” is the festival’s tagline. Branded matchbooks have been included in festival bags given to passholders, among plenty of other playful references to the medium’s fiery reputation.

For the record, the museum does obey strict codes and undergoes extensive certifications in order to be licensed to project nitrate film. (Learn more about those safety precautions in CITY’s May 4, 2018 interview with some of the projectionists behind the Nitrate Picture Show, online at rochestercitynewspaper.com).

But one of the greatest outcomes of the festival, both Case and Stoiber say, is that it’s prompted American film archives and others around the world to take another look at their own nitrate material to see if they can be part of it.

The first year, about half of the films shown at the Nitrate Picture Show were from the Eastman’s own collection, with the rest provided by American archives that already had some working relationship with the museum. But each successive year has branched out further to include more and more foreign archives. This has allowed the Eastman Museum staff to collaborate with organizations they might not otherwise have had the opportunity to, building bridges in the worldwide film community.

The Nitrate Picture Show program booklet always lists the source of every print, along with notes on the overall quality of the print. Some of these archives have been able to send a staff member or two to attend the festival.

Case and Stoiber both admit that the

event can be exciting simply for the chance to nerd out with their fellow film lovers, professional or otherwise.

“Sitting back and watching celluloid going through projector with a bunch of friendly faces is, to me, the best vacation I can think of,” Stoiber says.

Some of those visiting organizations don’t have the ability to screen nitrate at their facilities, so just the chance to see it projected is something that people are making a commitment to fly around the world to experience.

As Director of the Thai Film Archive, Chalida Uabumrungjit has repeatedly made the trek from Thailand to attend the festival.

Because the Thai archive doesn’t have the ability to screen nitrate, the festival offers a unique opportunity.

“Nitrate film is always a myth,” Uabumrungjit said in an email to CITY. “I work in the film archive so we get to inspect it, but never see it projected. So I was so excited to see the film on screen, but it also provided me an understanding of the characteristics of the material, which is very useful for my work.”

Which is not to say that the Nitrate Picture Show is intended exclusively for film scholars or those in the film preservation community. Stoiber particularly encourages attendees to make it a family affair, and bring their kids along; the communal nature of movie-watching is one that anyone can enjoy.

“It’s really wonderful because you have such an enthusiastic audience, and it’s good for kids to get that experience,” she says.

Nora Fiore — better known as ”The Nitrate Diva” to the more than 38,000 Twitter followers who delight at her thoughtful and entertaining postings about the world of classic cinema — is one film lover who’s traveled to attend the festival multiple times.

This year will be her fourth. Fiore had never viewed nitrate when she chose that name seven years ago, but when she heard about the

Nitrate Picture Show through social media, the chance to see the format that she’d long romanticized projected for the very first time was too much to resist.

“There’s all these fabled stories about what this film stock looks like, and the glow it has, and the incredible lost beauty of these prints, on a material that’s not used anymore,” Fiore says. “So just that tantalizing possibility from a bygone era lured me to Rochester. And it was everything I wanted it to be.”

And Fiore is just one of many film lovers who come together in Rochester to be a part of the festival. “You don’t have to have anything in common with anybody else in the audience except that you’re both there to watch a film. That’s all you need to have in common with the person next to you,” Stoiber says. “And when you get everybody who loves celluloid together, it really just makes all the work that we do worthwhile.”

THE FESTIVAL’S CONTINUES TO EXPAND, BRINGING IN AUDIENCES

far outside the greater Rochester area and garnering increased national and international press. With people traveling in from France to Japan, Portugal to Australia, each edition of the festival has seen an increase in the number of passes sold outside the United States.

Back in 2015, the Eastman Museum was one of only three venues in America that were licensed to project nitrate. Following the success of the festival’s first installment, several theaters have been inspired to reconsider their capacity to project nitrate film.

Following the first year of the festival, the Mexican film archive Filmoteca UNAM immediately scheduled some nitrate screenings for that fall. Within a year there were plans for the Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard — which had long ago removed its capacity to screen nitrate — to retrofit the venue to screen the format once again. And The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, currently being built in Los Angeles,

will have the ability to show nitrate film built in. “It’s become a symbol of status to have the ability to embrace the entire breadth of filmmaking history,” Case says.

Despite the increased interest in projecting nitrate around the world, Rochester’s Nitrate Picture Show remains the only full-fledged festival of its kind.

The films screened have ranged from behemoths like “Casablanca” to lesser known and foreign titles. The goal is to have a wide variety in the lineup, Stoiber says. “Particularly since we’re not announcing the titles before the start of the festival, we want to make sure there’s something everybody can enjoy when they come: the big headliners, but also the obscure ones that allow people to discover new things.”

And the atmosphere inside the theater can be lively. Besides the gasps, laughs, or tears the narratives inspire, it’s not uncommon to hear the audience react audibly to a particularly striking image. And the films often leave their

viewers eager to learn more about the medium they’ve just watched.

Stoiber leads many of those visitors on tours of the Eastman Museum’s nitrate vault, giving them a peek at the facility that houses 24,000 reels of film at the Louis B. Mayer Conservation Center in North Chili. It’s a chance for the public to see for themselves how nitrate reels are housed, inspected, and organized. These tours give people a sense of the time involved in preserving film and why it’s important to keep them, but it’s also a chance for them to thrill at sharing the same physical space as the original nitrate negatives that were on set during the filming of “Gone With the Wind” or “The Wizard of Oz.” The festival has developed its own traditions, including the popular “Blind Date With Nitrate” as its final screening, which remains a mystery up until the moment the audience has taken their seats. That screening always generates its share of discussion, and part of the fun comes from guests attempting

to guess the title based on the clue of a single frame printed in the festival program. For the record, no one’s ever guessed correctly.

Also popular is the annual shorts program, which traditionally kicks off the weekend’s screenings. Last year, the program included a costume drama all the way from 1913, titled “In a Roman Garden” as well as “Movies Are Adventure,” a promotional short produced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that heralds the magic of the movies.

Each film selection gets an introduction from a representative of the archive that provided it.

Just two weeks after the festival ends, Stoiber will be traveling to the Library of Congress, and the process of selecting next year’s films will begin.

Five years in, the festival feels on the precipice of evolution, and its runners are taking the opportunity to rethink some things and look for new ways to grow and expand. Those changes include a potential reconsideration of the traditional secrecy of

the festival’s lineup, and a shift in dates, with the sixth edition of the Nitrate Picture Show scheduled for June 4-7, 2020.

But no matter what changes lay ahead, the focus will always remain on entertaining and educating audiences, spreading the passion for film, and showcasing the beauty of nitrate by giving these artifacts of film history another chance to shine.

“There’s things here that you’re never going to see again,” Case says. “Not just because they’re rare, but these particular artifacts, for some of them this is the last time that they’re going to be run through a projector. We’re not going to bring the print from Japan out here again. And there are no places in Japan that can show nitrate.

And all these films are meant to be seen on a big screen. So this 65-year-old film has one more chance to fulfill that destiny, and that’s by sending it to Rochester to be part of the Nitrate Picture Show.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

operas were virtually unknown, gathering dust in libraries — with one exception. The short but sweet “pastoral entertainment” called “Acis and Galatea” remained popular throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Pegasus Early Music winds up its season this Sunday afternoon with a semi-staged performance of this delectable piece. Tenor Jonas Budris is Acis and soprano Laura Heimes is Galatea; the show is directed by Emily Cuk and conducted from the harpsichord by Leon Schelhase. “The music is Handel at his youthful best,” Pegasus Early Music’s Artistic Director Deborah Fox says. She’ll also be playing lute in the ensemble. “This short work contains a love triangle with all the fixings— romance, jealousy, comedy, tragedy, and a supernatural ending,” she says.

The self-production on the new, 10-song disc “Things I Remember from Earth” has the band draped in a layered sonic tapestry throughout, though it doesn’t repeat itself. Each tune seems to have its own stunt or effect or mood, waiting in the shadows. Sometimes the shadows are the effect — whether it’s a dreamy steel-guitar passage or vocals ensconced in rapturous flight. Every cut is a gem. Major Tom would be proud.

Jolivet: Concertino for Trumpet; Other works TBD.

Out on May 7, former Rochesterian Trevor Courneen’s new full-length album “Taller Hearts Will Prevail” is steeped in lo-fi, 90’s-tinged indie rock. Mixed and mastered by Courneen’s long-time recording collaborator Ben Morey, the music has real polish. And while the album’s nine tracks provide a comfy soundscape of warm, jangly guitar pop, it’s the confessional vocal delivery and unassuming lyrics that tug at the listener’s ears.

Courneen’s conversational voice combines the earnestness of the late Elliott Smith with Conor Oberst’s tonal vulnerability. Nowhere is that alchemy more apparent than on the sweetly sincere “Vowels.” “Taller Hearts Will Prevail” really hits its stride halfway through, with back-to-back winners: “Kinds of Contact,” with its catchy, circular melody, and the weirdly anthemic “All These Houses.”

Courneen has Rochester shows at Abilene Bar and Lounge on May 22 and Small World Books on May 24.

[ INTERVIEW ] BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

Nerdcore hip-hop is a niche genre. While mainstream hip-hop channels my inner alpha dog, nerdcore makes me want to collect action figures at the library. It’s the musical equivalent of “Napoleon Dynamite” — not necessarily the coolest kid in school, but an endearing one, with a group of devoted supporters.

Since 2017, nerdcore’s biggest names have toured together, rocking club stages from coast to coast and beyond. The lineup spills out like a fantasy squad of brainy emcees, uniting the godfather MC Frontalot, the graduate MC Lars, the gamer Mega Ran, and the goblin Schäffer the Darklord.

All four rappers were down for a conversation via email, in advance of bringing the Mount Nerdcore tour to Rochester. An edited version of that interview follows.

CITY: Who is the funniest guy on this tour?

MC Lars: Probably Mark [Schäffer], because

he doesn’t talk too much, and everything he says is gold.

MC Frontalot: Schäffer has the quickest wit of the crew. But it’s his slow burns that get me. I still think about him in the back seat, saying, “Mom! Hey, Mom. Mom, guess what? Guess, what, Mom,” over and over for five minutes. I finally got annoyed and turned around and said, “What, Mark?” And then he did the perfect fiveyear-old’s smile and said, “I’m Batman.”

Any plans to form a nerdcore supergroup?

Mega Ran: We kind of have, with us doing this

tour yearly. It’s done a lot to bring our fan bases together. We all guest on each other’s tunes.

Schäffer the Darklord: In addition to being a part of the Mount Nerdcore Tour, I am also a founding member of The Department of

Darkness, a collaborative project with nerdcore producer Vince Vandal and a host of nerdcore emcees, including all of my tour mates.

MC Frontalot: I wonder if the four of us teaming up can somehow transcend the traditional supergroup, and we can call ourselves an ultragroup. Or a mega-hyperteam.

Describe nerdcore as if you were writing a haiku or a personal ad.

Mega Ran: Desperately seeking relevance. Call

me, I’m available — Nerdcore.

Schäffer the Darklord: Nerdcore? I don’t know /

I’ve never played D&D / I rap about drugs.

How have you shaped this genre?

MC Lars: I never considered myself “nerdcore,”

but when I met Frontalot, I realized it fit into a mold of stuff like he and MC Chris were doing.

The term was actually coined by Nerf Herder, but we need to give Frontalot props for coining “nerdcore hip-hop” and bringing the nerdy rappers together in 2006. My contribution was sampling emo and punk bands and doing a lot of literary raps, including a lit-hop album with Mega Ran.

MC Frontalot: I’ve done a number of shows with the Nerf Herder guys, and they never mentioned that. More power to them. When I came up with “nerdcore” in early 2000, I googled it and could only find a blog about jumping into hedges. So I will continue claiming that term until Parry Gripp texts me and tells me to stop.

Mega Ran: I think my contribution has been one of the view of the “nerd” from a kid who grew up learning how things ticked, then getting into video games, comics, anime and more, and continuing to make that a large part of your adult life.

Schäffer the Darklord: I released a concept album in 2013 that eschewed pop culture references for a candid exploration of my experiences in therapy. I don’t think this shaped the genre; I just wanted you to know that I did that.

Why do you make music?

MC Frontalot: I always loved music, but my

interest in making any myself grew out of the tech. I loved my four-track until the late 90’s, and then I loved that my computer suddenly had a high-res recording studio in it. My passion was fueled by wanting to make things that sounded more and more like professional studio recordings, at home, by myself, for free.

MC Lars: It’s something I couldn’t help doing.

It was a hobby I was fortunate enough to monetize right out of college.

What’s the weirdest thing that influences your music?

MC Lars: Gravity. Without it. I would have

trouble dropping the rhymes. They’d float up.

MC Frontalot: Listening to Lars snore rhythmically in hotel rooms.

Where is the most unusual place a song of yours has been played?

MC Lars: My anti-Hot Topic song was often

played in Hot Topics 13 years ago. They wanted to show that they were edgy and in on the joke.

Mega Ran: A wrestling ring.

Schäffer the Darklord: A sex party.

Years from now, how will they remember you?

Mega Ran: Hopefully as a guy who did what

he loved, his own way, and was moderately decent at it. Maybe as a footnote and brief mention when the first nerdy rapper wins a Grammy, 50 years from now.

The Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus celebrates centennial The Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus is as much about preservation of heritage as it is about entertainment. The North American ensemble uses the bandura, an acoustic instrument with up to 60 strings, to anchor a rich melding of male choral voices in the Ukrainian folk tradition. Its arrangements can mesmerize you with sudden shifts from serene to thunderous, then back again, with each song balanced out only by resilience.

The group traces its origins back to 1918 when the Kobzar Choir formed in Kyiv, Ukraine. Unfolding events caused many of its members to immigrate to America as chronicled in the documentary, “Music of Survival.” The Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus has performed all over the world including a celebrated concert in Kyiv last year with the National Bandurist Capella.

The Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus performs as part of its Centennial Concert Series on Saturday, May 4, 7:30 p.m. at Hochstein School of Music, 50 North Plymouth Avenue. $10-$30. 747-5657. bandura.org.

FOLK | ‘IN THE SPIRIT OF PETE’

On Friday, acclaimed folksters Joe Jencks and Maria Dunn will present “In the Spirit of Pete,” a show dedicated to American folk hero and activist Pete Seeger, on what would have been his 100th birthday. Seeger met Woody Guthrie at a benefit for migrant workers, and soon after the two helped form The Almanac Singers, which at different times had artists like Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Lead Belly, Josh White, Burl Ives, and Richard Dyer-Bennett in its ranks. Pete Seeger worked to make the world a better place, with his political and environmental activism, community-building, and of course, his music. He was always encouraging people to sing together. He certainly overcame.

“In the Spirit of Pete” takes place on Friday, May 3, 8 p.m. at Rochester Christian Reformed Church, 2750 Atlantic Avenue. $10-$22.

Revolutionary rap “Hamilton” REVIEWED WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24 CONTINUES THROUGH MAY 12 ROCHESTER AUDITORIUM THEATRE, 885 EAST MAIN STREET TICKET PRICES VARY | 222-5000; TICKETMASTER.COM [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND AND CHRIS THOMPSON

I keep saying that I don’t like musicals. I also am not a fan of attempts to make history “hip.” My most dreaded time in English class was when the teacher said, “Oh so you like hip-hop? Well let me tell you about the oldest rapper around: WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE,” My mind is not blown, Mr. Jenkins. Ms. Gold already pulled the same stunt last year, and “King Lear” was still a slog.

Still, I went into “Hamilton” with an open mind. Yes, it is both a musical and a “hip” retelling of American history. But it has also 20 CITY MAY 1 - 7, 2019

won multiple awards (including 11 Tony Awards, a Grammy, and the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama), has had critics and audience members raving about it since it first opened, and tickets have been so hard to attain that once you have one, you feel compelled to sing “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket” as soon as it touches your hand. This much hype would not last if “Hamilton” was just a half-hearted “Schoolhouse Rock” on stage. Its creator, Lin Manuel-Miranda, is much too talented to deliver something like that.

I expected to simply follow along with each song from the cast recording as they were belted out. But from Aaron Burr’s first few lines, I was all in.

The crowd erupted when Alexander Hamilton (Edred Utomi) appeared. And throughout the performance, the first appearances each of George Washington (Paul Oakley Stovall), Eliza Schuyler/Hamilton (Hannah Cruz), and Marquis de Lafayette (Bryson Druce) garnered applause. But the ensemble cast, acting out all the lyrics, are the

unsung heroes of the show. They seamlessly execute multiple costume changes in nearly every number. I have only seen Grace Jones pull off such a feat live.

This is not a musical, this is a rock concert. Sporadic applause and cheers burst from the audience each time the cast started a few bars of the next song. I half expected someone in the audience to start yelling requests. I expected things to calm down, perhaps a little bit of dialogue in between numbers, but the cast dived right into another song with the first encounter between Aaron Burr (Josh Tower) and Hamilton. Throughout the entire show, perhaps five words are spoken, everything else is in verse. This isn’t a rock concert, it is an opera.

Given the name of the show, it is reasonable to think that this would be a patriotic sanctification of Alexander Hamilton. It definitely is not. He is just the vehicle to tell an American Revolution story.

Deification is not the goal either. The musical

covers his feuds with Madison (Chaundre HallBroomfield) and Thomas Jefferson (also Bryson Bruce). And it covers his infidelity and ensuing blackmail in more detail than I expected.

Not only is Hamilton shown as a deeply flawed human, a song about his affair transitions to a solo that focuses on Eliza Hamilton and how she dealt with the revelation. The death of Alexander’s son, Philip Hamilton (Jon Viktor Corpuz), is given attention with a heart-wrenching song that also partially centers on Eliza’s loss as a mother. The grief was palpable. Even Hamilton’s own death at the hands of Burr is a moment for reflection of his life, through all the people he affected and was influenced by, as the bullet slowly travels via ensemble cast to his chest. At the end, I could not even completely vilify Aaron Burr.

The “Hamilton” soundtrack is the most New York thing I’ve heard in a while. The bars in the introductory song “Alexander Hamilton” reminded me of an old school 1980s cadence from the Bronx or Queens. As that song moved into the next, “Aaron Burr, Sir,” Burr and Hamilton shift from a smoother R&B flow to give way to the grittier “freestyles” of the three revolutionaries: John Laurens, Hercules Mulligan, and the Marquis de Lafayette.

Hercules’ bars in particular stood out because it sounded like what would happen if 1990s Busta Rhymes’s gruff vernacular and 2000s-era Pharoahe Monch’s enunciation had an auditory baby. The trio’s parts remind me of the scrappiness of a young Native Tongues crew’s freestyle sessions.

The numbers that were primarily sung, like “The Schuyler Sisters,” had the bounciness of 1990s R&B dance anthems that were as much a part of hip-hop as full rap songs. There was even a break beat and rap intro for “Schuyler Sisters” that had me wondering if Reverend Run was going to appear to officiate Alexander and Eliza’s onstage wedding.

“Ten Duel Commandments” is the most obvious hip-hop callback — to the late Christopher Wallace’s “Ten Crack Commandments” — which makes sense, since both duels and drug solicitation can end in at least one person dying. After the ensemble song “Reynolds Pamphlet,” Eliza’s solo “Burn” was a powerful rebuke and declaration of her strength that alluded to a more subdued “Lemonade.”

But my favorite numbers were the “Cabinet Battles.” The public feud between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton portrayed in rap battles is a perfect way to show how contentious they were. Though the cabinet

Arts & Performance Art Exhibits

battles had to do with policy, the venom they spit while discussing the economy and neutrality in the French Revolution made them more poignant. Also, I am not sure whether or not the composers deliberately went heavy with a “tick-tick bump” for “Cabinet Battle #1” because Jefferson is from the South (and the debate was the foundation of the tensions between Southern landowners’ state-centered rights and Northern economists federalist views), but it made me think the beat was a drumbeat, foreshadowing of the Civil War (should Lin Manuel Miranda decide to write a musical about that).

Among the highlights of the show was when Lafayette and Hamilton discussed their successes in battle, quipping, “Immigrants get shit done,” and the audience cheered. I welled up when soldier and statesman John Laurens and Philip Hamilton died, both by a bullet (and both played by Jon Viktor Corpuz. Every appearance of King George (Peter Matthew Smith) was shade in song form, and it was perfect. The ensemble cast managed to be simultaneously all over the stage and invisible, and the demographics are appreciated. I have not seen so many curls and afros on a stage for a major performance.

Most of all, the show depicts a nation that was rife with political turmoil, lots of in-fighting, and hot tempers all around.

Basically, not much has changed. We just have fewer duels.

— CHRIS THOMPSON

History may not have changed much since the 18th century, but musicals sure have, and one of the most exciting things about ”Hamilton” is how it fits into the history of American musicals while drawing it forward. Lin-Manuel Miranda knows rap and hip-hop history, but he’s also a Broadway baby, and it is remarkable how skillfully he combines the two in this show, which seems to exist simultaneously in Colonial America and right now. To give just one example: faced with presenting two dry political debates between Thomas Jefferson and Hamilton, Miranda turns them into epic rap battles, a witty way to give early American ideas a 21st-century treatment.

Many of the finest Broadway musicals seem to have started with improbable ideas: Race relations in the South Pacific during World War II, gang warfare in 1950s New York City, and the writing of the

Declaration of Independence. “Hamilton,” which is actually based on an exhaustive biography of the Founding Father by Ron Chernow, is the latest in the “Is–thisreally-a-musical?” series, and every bit as memorable as the shows referenced above.

They all receive shout-outs in the lyrics of “Hamilton,” a tribute to Miranda’s love and knowledge of Broadway lore.

I’ve heard “Hamilton” described as a “hiphopera” — a cheesy descriptor for a musical work of remarkable variety. The torrents of words in rap turn out to be an ideal way to treat this story. Miranda uses rap the way Mozart used recitative (in which a singer adopts normal patterns of speech), to push out exposition and power the plot. (This is one show where you must pay attention every moment, or risk missing a plot point or a bit of witty wordplay.)

But if there are a lot of words, there is also an abundance of music in a myriad of styles. This reflects the multicultural approach to telling Alexander Hamilton’s story, and anticipates American musical history yet to come: not just rap but also blues, jazz (Thomas Jefferson’s entrance in the second act is Duke Ellington-meetsCab Calloway), R&B girl-group numbers for the Schuyler sisters, and good old top rank Broadway. “The Room Where It Happens” is not only like a Kander and Ebb-Bob Fosse number on steroids (and one of the most exciting numbers in the show), it also covers a huge amount of plot and character development.

Is it an opera? The term might be a kiss of death for pop or Broadway fans, but Miranda is an ambitious composer, and I think that his ambitions have led him there. “Hamilton” is sung or declaimed throughout, which is really all that an opera needs. The music may be wildly varied, but it is put together seamlessly, and the big ensemble scenes dovetail remarkably with more intimate moments, while building to some powerful climaxes. (Not to mention that many of the “Hamilton” singers seem to have the voices to handle “real” opera.)

Miranda also uses a few recurring themes and phrases with great dramatic skill. As American vernacular musical theater, a combination of high ideals and dazzling Broadway showmanship, “Hamilton” is already a classic on the lofty heights occupied by “Porgy and Bess,” “West Side Story,” and “Sweeney Todd.”

DANCE | SANKOFA WEST AFRICAN CONCERTS

ART | ‘LANDSCAPES AND CITYSCAPES’

Recreation

This week The College at Brockport’s Department of Dance will host the Rochester-based Sankofa African Drum and Dance Ensemble, and welcomes special guest artist Mohamed Diaby from Guinea, West Africa. Diaby is an acclaimed djembe player and choreographer, and will perform and choreograph works.

Other international guest artists include Trinidadian musician Ian Anthony and Trinidadian choreographer Kieron Sargeant, whose “Caribbean Suite” features a mix of folk dances that have been preserved despite the Atlantic slave trade and colonialism.

Local photographic artist Andrew E. Jurman’s interest is split between nature and built environments, and he creates dreamy and fantastical-seeming vistas whether shooting fields in soft-focus or crisply capturing mannequins in window displays. Jurman’s solo exhibit, “Landscapes and Cityscapes,” opens this week at the Giesel Gallery. The show features a combination of his landscape photography, which are images made on color negative film using multiple exposures, and his digital photographs taken at New York City’s Rockefeller Center in the wintertime. An artist reception will be held Thursday, May 9, 6 to 8 p.m.

Film

Molly Shannon and Susan Ziegler in “Wild Nights With Emily.” PHOTO COURTESY GREENWICH ENTERTAINMENT

Poetry in motion “Wild Nights with Emily” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY MADELEINE OLNEK OPENS FRIDAY, MAY 3 AT THE LITTLE THEATRE AND PITTSFORD CINEMA [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

One of my favorite things about watching movies for a living is getting the opportunity to experience the work of a new filmmaker, then over time seeing that artist develop and hone their voice with each new project. Case in point: the wonderful indie filmmaker Madeleine Olnek.

Olnek specializes in wry, deadpan, and affably unpolished comedies, first gaining attention with her 2011 feature “Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks

Same,” a black-and-white sci-fi romance between a shy greeting card store employee and the woman she doesn’t realize is from outer-space. She followed that up with 2013’s “The Foxy Merkins,” an absurdist buddy comedy following the wacky misadventures of two lesbian sex workers.

While sometimes hampered by their limited budgets, both films are inventive, witty, character-driven films from a distinctive voice I immediately knew I wanted to hear more from.

Each of her films have remained the indiest of indie productions, but that’s also freed Olnek from the pressures of working within the studio system. Over those years, she’s been able to grow and evolve as a filmmaker at a more deliberate pace. And each of Olnek’s projects have grown slightly more ambitious, with her latest being a full-fledged historical dramedy with a recognizable star.

“Wild Nights with Emily,” is a hilarious and moving biopic that reimagines the life of Emily Dickinson (played by Molly Shannon) and recontextualizes the writer’s work through the lens of her sexuality, specifically her lifelong romantic relationship with her sisterin-law, Susan Gilbert Dickinson (the hilarious Susan Ziegler, a veteran of all three Olnek features). And it’s Olnek’s strongest film yet.

Emily and Susan were friends since childhood, and we meet them during their teenage years (with Dana Melanie as Emily and Sasha Frolova as Susan), when their friendship first blossomed into a love affair.

Susan eventually married Emily’s brother Austin (Kevin Seal), moving into the house next door. Living as neighbors allowed the two women to continue their relationship as an open secret for the next 40 years.

The film includes a narrator of sorts, in the form of the smug and opportunistic Mabel

Todd (Amy Seimetz). Based on an actual person, Todd was the one who “discovered” Dickinson’s trove of 1,800 poems and took it upon herself to publish them four years after Dickinson’s 1886 death. But not before taking the time to edit and erase the bits she deemed controversial. It’s worth noting that she also happened to be Austin Dickinson’s mistress.

Despite the presence of a marquee talent like Shannon, “Wild Nights with Emily” maintains Olnek’s shaggy style. With a tone that feels like “Masterpiece Theatre” by way of “Drunk History,” it’s a thrilling effort to rescue Dickinson from the narrative that’s defined her.

The story was inspired by a New York Times piece about how spectrographic technology allowed researchers to recover words and phrases that had been erased from Dickinson’s writing, most crucially the name “Sue.” Running with that fact, Olnek’s script tosses out the widely accepted history of Dickinson’s life. Her vision is a far cry from the image of a miserable, sickly recluse that’s been popularized over the years and, the film argues, the result of Emily’s legacy being filtered by Mabel Todd’s eyes. In addition to possessing Shannon’s expert comedic prowess, the film’s version of Emily is a strong-willed woman who lived fully and loved deeply.

Throughout, you sense a real love for Dickinson’s writing, and it’s obvious a great deal of research went into its creation. Olnek consulted with Dickinson scholar Martha Nell Smith, whose book, “Rowing in Eden: Rereading Emily Dickinson” focused on the skewed legacy of the author. She also received the approval of the Harvard University Press and the Amherst College Special Collections, which allowed access to their archives of Dickinson’s poems and letters.

“Wild Nights With Emily” is funny, genuinely touching, and committed to the kind of smart-but-stupid silliness that’s a joy to watch.

It’s filled with biting wit and genuine emotion, all the way through the heartbreaking end credits. Plus, did I mention it’s a period piece?

That Olnek is able to do all that with such a visibly low budget is all the more impressive.
