Finger Lakes Events Calendar

Stories of Indian Cinema includes Abandoned and Rescued, the intriguing behind-the-scenes tale of the recently acquired collection of Indian films and posters; a film series that includes screenings of a selection of film reels discussed in the exhibition; and Nandita Raman: Cinema Play House, a series of poignant black-and-white photographs of abandoned and failing single-screen cinemas in India.

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema (January 13–June 24, 2018) is dedicated to a unique collection of more than 23,000 original nitrate frames of 35mm films from the early years of cinema (1897–1915).

One of the world’s leading experts in the history of silent cinema, Davide Turconi (1911–2005) gathered these rare frames in the 1960s from a large collection of films acquired by Jesuit priest Josef-Alexis Joye (1852–1919) in Basel, Switzerland. In Basel, Joye had established an educational institution, the Borromäum, that focused on social programs, such as caring for and instructing orphans, providing Sunday school classes, and offering education programs for recent Catholic émigrés and the working class.

In the early 1900s, Joye began to collect films and incorporate them into his lectures. These films have become known as the Josef Joye Collection. Joye acquired a wide variety of international films over a number of years from the secondhand market in Switzerland and Germany. After he left Basel in 1911, the films remained at the Borromäum. At the time of Turconi’s discovery of the collection, the prints were in various stages of chemical decay. Fearing that no trace would remain of these precious films, Turconi took brief clips (typically two or three frames per clipping) from each of them, thus preserving an invaluable documentation on the color techniques employed by film production companies at the beginning of the twentieth century. 

Today, the Turconi and Joye Collections are a primary source for the study of early cinema, and of color technology in particular. (The complete surviving films are now at the British Film Institute’s National Archive in London.) The George Eastman Museum acquired the Turconi Collection in the 1990s, and a massive digitization project was completed after twelve years of painstaking work. The sheer beauty of the nitrate frames and their colors can now be shared with the public.   

On the first Thursday of each month, The Rockwell Museum and The Southeast Steuben Library team up for a story-time experience. Children’s Librarian Sue McConnell will read stories linked to The Rockwell’s collection. Toddlers, preschoolers and their caregivers are welcome.

Canada's THE DAMN TRUTH arrive in the USA!!!

Over the years, Canada has given us a lot of great bands; Neil Young , Alanis Morrisette, Arcade Fire, Bryan Adams, The Guess Who, BTO, Rush and many more.

Well, now there's a new name you can add to that list; The Damn Truth, on their first U.S. tour. They kick it off with a coveted slot on the (SOLD OUT) Rock Legends 2018 Cruise (Sammy Hagar, Bad Company, Uriah Heep, and more) and will spend the next two months making friends across the U.S. with their high energy rock'n'roll.
Singer-guitarist Lee-la Baum has been called the love child of Robert Plant and Janis Joplin; mixing up the best of the classic rock the band loves with the indie energy of their hometown Montreal scene.

The band is here to introduce their new album (their 2nd); Devilish Folk; meet their American fans and promote the new single, "White Lies".

But the journey to get here has been a Behind The Music tale of drama, misfortune, and lucky breaks.

For example, you could say there's nothing more rock n' roll than your van blowing up in the middle of your biggest national tour to date. Unless of course, you're The Damn Truth, and you've barely escaped with just the clothes on your back while most everything else is up in flames. And, oh yeah, it's pitch black in the middle of nowhere in the northern Canadian backwoods. And you've got your 3-year old son and his babysitter also on board. And, did we mention it's in the middle of winter - A Canadian winter.

"We had literally just driven out from a garage in the last town where the mechanic told us everything was fine. Thank god this car drove up beside us on the highway - waving their arms frantically - and told us that the van was on fire . We stopped, got as much stuff out as we could, and then literally watched the van blow up in front of us; all our gear - gone." remembers drummer Dave Traina.

Nothing has ever come easy for The Damn Truth but for every adversity, there has been some unexpected reward. In this case, they quickly scrambled a funding campaign that raised over ten thousand dollars within 24 hours. The experience brought out the best from their fans and the local community and a renewed faith in the power of music. The tour continued. The shows - and their belief in rock n'roll - got stronger.

And now The Damn Truth are set to do it all over again (except for the blowing up part, of course).
A lot of good things have happened since then for the Montreal based quartet such as singer Lee-la Baum turning in a heart-stopping vocal for an Yves St Laurent TV commercial- their new perfume, Mon Paris, that is rolling out worldwide. The vocal (a cover of "Love Is Blindness" by U2) has had such an impact, raking in over 400K views, thousands of comments, emails and orders have come in from around the globe, exposing the band to a wide audience of new“Truth seekers “.

The Damn Truth have their roots definitely in 60s and 70s rock but they are adding to that palette with alt-rock and indie-rock and whatever-else-kind-of rock attitudes and power; basically, if it makes the music stronger is all that counts. Consider the pedigree of the alternative and classic rock credentials of Devilish Folk.

It was mixed by Grammy-award winner Tchad Blake (Black Keys, Pearl Jam, Arctic Monkeys, and others). All this power was brought to the forefront via the mastering of John Davis, responsible for the recent Led Zeppelin re-issues in addition to work with U2, Lana del Ray, Stone Roses, Florence & The Machine, and others.

The Damn Truth have always been a self-contained unit; producing their own records, videos, and hanging out old-school after a show; meeting the fans one by one.
"We've had to work hard every step of the way," says lead guitarist Tom Shemer. "But that's ok. People know it’s real when they come to the shows”.

Part of that ethos is the family vibe amongst the band; Tom and Lee-la travel with their 3-year old son “there has never been a choice in the matter. Rock n’ roll has always been our lives and his too. He’s been on tour since he was 2 months old. “ says Lee-la

The Damn Truth are Lee-la Baum (vocals/guitar), Tom Shemer (guitars), PY Letellier (bass) and Dave Traina (drums). There are echoes of Jack White, Arctic Monkeys, Gretta Van Fleet and Brittany Howard of the Alabama Shakes, all of it uniquely channelled through Lee-la's powerful vocals; creating an emotional rock that's both distinguished them and made them something of a musical anomaly.

"Jimi Hendrix taught me everything I needed to know about that rock'n'roll attitude," says Lee-la, "and he was my first real rockstar crush!"

The world is evolving , rock n’ roll and social norms are changing.
Women are taking charge and Lee-la Baum and The Damn Truth are here to break those sexist stigmas every step of the way.

On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Frederick Douglass's birth, artist Amanda Chestnut and Associate Curator in the Department of Photography Heather Shannon will talk about the great American's contribution to the history of photography as well as the implications of collecting and preserving photographs of and documents authored by people of color.

Free to members; included with museum admission.

Gather your most adventurous friends! This event is adults only, 21+. Please bring ID. Reservations are required and non-refundable.

Play games and sample beer and wine at Kohlfahrt, a traditional German cabbage walk. End the journey through the snowy trails of the Nature Center and Historic Village streets with a hearty, Grünkohlessen German meal in the heated Banquet Center.

A typical Kohlfahrt experience starts with a walk (fahrt) through winter landscapes, with frequent stops for silly games — including a Brussel sprout shooting competition! Many more new games have been added this year, such as a cabbage relay! A group “booze wagen” provides sips of German beer, wine, cider, Schnapps, and non-alcoholic drinks along the way. You'll compete to gain the title of "Kale King" or "Kale Queen!"

In this off-season tribute to cabbage (kohl), each participant is provided with his/her own tasting necklace sporting a miniature beer mug that can be engaged at every opportunity. And laughter is a prime ingredient!

Then, after all that outdoor exercise, the Kohlfahrt culminates with a hearty sit-down, German-style meal of sausages, brats, smoked ham, bacon-simmered kale, sauerkraut, Dampfkartoffeln, and apple strudel for dessert.

Adventures depart every 15 minutes from 1:30pm-4:00pm on Saturday and 1:30pm-3:00pm on Sunday, each with a group of 12 people.

Tours are approximately two hours long with dinner served afterwards.

Join us on Saturday, February 10 for this limited one-time only winter touring event.

Blend your own gin with Finger Lakes Distilling, then put it to the test in an Iron Distiller competition that brings your gin to the panel for judging. Will yours be awarded best gin on the tour? Your day is rounded out with an Artisan Market at Barry Family Wine Cellars and a Family Style dinner at Dano's Heuriger on Seneca.

Meet Finger Lakes artisans. Hear their stories. Taste their craft products and taste their passion in every sip and bite. Then take your turn to create your own original Finger Lakes gin. Sample the botanicals, select your blend, grind them and formulate your own oriGINal gin recipe. Does it have what it takes to be selected, batched and bottled? There is only one way to find out!

Play games and sample beer and wine at Kohlfahrt, a traditional German cabbage walk. End the journey through the snowy trails of the Nature Center and Historic Village streets with a hearty, Grünkohlessen German meal in the heated Banquet Center.

A typical Kohlfahrt experience starts with a walk (fahrt) through winter landscapes, with frequent stops for silly games — including a Brussel sprout shooting competition! Many more new games have been added this year, such as a cabbage relay! A group “booze wagen” provides sips of German beer, wine, cider, Schnapps, and non-alcoholic drinks along the way. You'll compete to gain the title of "Kale King" or "Kale Queen!"

In this off-season tribute to cabbage (kohl), each participant is provided with his/her own tasting necklace sporting a miniature beer mug that can be engaged at every opportunity. And laughter is a prime ingredient!

Then, after all that outdoor exercise, the Kohlfahrt culminates with a hearty sit-down, German-style meal of sausages, brats, smoked ham, bacon-simmered kale, sauerkraut, Dampfkartoffeln, and apple strudel for dessert.

Adventures depart every 15 minutes from 1:30pm-4:00pm on Saturday and 1:30pm-3:00pm on Sunday, each with a group of 12 people.

Tours are approximately two hours long with dinner served afterwards.

Brunch will be served in the Potter Peristyle, followed by the film screening in the Dryden. Reservations required for brunch.

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema (January 13–June 24, 2018) is dedicated to a unique collection of more than 23,000 original nitrate frames of 35mm films from the early years of cinema (1897–1915).

One of the world’s leading experts in the history of silent cinema, Davide Turconi (1911–2005) gathered these rare frames in the 1960s from a large collection of films acquired by Jesuit priest Josef-Alexis Joye (1852–1919) in Basel, Switzerland. In Basel, Joye had established an educational institution, the Borromäum, that focused on social programs, such as caring for and instructing orphans, providing Sunday school classes, and offering education programs for recent Catholic émigrés and the working class.

In the early 1900s, Joye began to collect films and incorporate them into his lectures. These films have become known as the Josef Joye Collection. Joye acquired a wide variety of international films over a number of years from the secondhand market in Switzerland and Germany. After he left Basel in 1911, the films remained at the Borromäum. At the time of Turconi’s discovery of the collection, the prints were in various stages of chemical decay. Fearing that no trace would remain of these precious films, Turconi took brief clips (typically two or three frames per clipping) from each of them, thus preserving an invaluable documentation on the color techniques employed by film production companies at the beginning of the twentieth century. 

Today, the Turconi and Joye Collections are a primary source for the study of early cinema, and of color technology in particular. (The complete surviving films are now at the British Film Institute’s National Archive in London.) The George Eastman Museum acquired the Turconi Collection in the 1990s, and a massive digitization project was completed after twelve years of painstaking work. The sheer beauty of the nitrate frames and their colors can now be shared with the public.   

Freedom Riders February 12, 2018 A Clemens Center Mary Tripp Marks School-Time Series production performed by Baylin Artists Management and Mad River Theater Works Monday, February 12, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Tickets: $5. For group and/or single tickets, call our School-Time Coordinator at 607-733-5639 ext. 248. Download order form.

Freedom Riders is the latest edition to the canon of American History plays by Mad River Theater Works. This new play, with original songs and music, explores the valiant and courageous personalities behind one of the most critical chapters in the history of the Civil Rights movement. Freedom Riders demonstrates the importance of working together to affect change and specifically how non-violent protests were used to focus attention on the cruelties of segregation. Set in 1961, fifteen years after the United States Supreme Court had outlawed segregation, bus lines and cities throughout the South still enforced a rigid system of separating black and white citizens. The Freedom Riders, both black and white Americans, from the North and the South, decided to travel together on buses that crossed state lines despite the hateful segregation and racism that had a strong hold in so many parts of the United States. The unforgettable heroes, and the facts behind the events portrayed in Freedom Riders, are essential to a full understanding of the Civil Rights era and American history.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has expanded its free fishing days program through the New York Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative. No license is required to fish on Saturday, Feb. 17 and Sunday, Feb. 18, 2018 on the weekend before Presidents Day.

During these free fishing days, New York State residents – and non-residents – can fish for free without a fishing license, though all other fishing regulations remain in effect. These events allow individuals and families to try out fishing, perhaps for the first time, without having to buy a license first. These dates especially give people the opportunity to experience the excellent fall fishing and ice fishing offered throughout the Finger Lakes region and New York State.

For those who want to continue fishing outside of the free fishing days, license can be purchased at any one of the DEC’s license-issuing locations. Visit www.dec.ny.gov/permits/95448.html for a list of locations near you. Fishing, hunting, and trapping licenses can also be purchased by telephone at 866-933-2257 or online at https://decals.dec.ny.gov/DECALSCitizenWeb/citizenhome.htm. Fishing licenses are valid for one year from the date of purchase, while hunting and trapping licenses are valid for one year beginning Sept. 1, 2017.

Stories of Indian Cinema includes Abandoned and Rescued, the intriguing behind-the-scenes tale of the recently acquired collection of Indian films and posters; a film series that includes screenings of a selection of film reels discussed in the exhibition; and Nandita Raman: Cinema Play House, a series of poignant black-and-white photographs of abandoned and failing single-screen cinemas in India.

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema (January 13–June 24, 2018) is dedicated to a unique collection of more than 23,000 original nitrate frames of 35mm films from the early years of cinema (1897–1915).

One of the world’s leading experts in the history of silent cinema, Davide Turconi (1911–2005) gathered these rare frames in the 1960s from a large collection of films acquired by Jesuit priest Josef-Alexis Joye (1852–1919) in Basel, Switzerland. In Basel, Joye had established an educational institution, the Borromäum, that focused on social programs, such as caring for and instructing orphans, providing Sunday school classes, and offering education programs for recent Catholic émigrés and the working class.

In the early 1900s, Joye began to collect films and incorporate them into his lectures. These films have become known as the Josef Joye Collection. Joye acquired a wide variety of international films over a number of years from the secondhand market in Switzerland and Germany. After he left Basel in 1911, the films remained at the Borromäum. At the time of Turconi’s discovery of the collection, the prints were in various stages of chemical decay. Fearing that no trace would remain of these precious films, Turconi took brief clips (typically two or three frames per clipping) from each of them, thus preserving an invaluable documentation on the color techniques employed by film production companies at the beginning of the twentieth century. 

Today, the Turconi and Joye Collections are a primary source for the study of early cinema, and of color technology in particular. (The complete surviving films are now at the British Film Institute’s National Archive in London.) The George Eastman Museum acquired the Turconi Collection in the 1990s, and a massive digitization project was completed after twelve years of painstaking work. The sheer beauty of the nitrate frames and their colors can now be shared with the public.

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema (January 13–June 24, 2018) is dedicated to a unique collection of more than 23,000 original nitrate frames of 35mm films from the early years of cinema (1897–1915).

One of the world’s leading experts in the history of silent cinema, Davide Turconi (1911–2005) gathered these rare frames in the 1960s from a large collection of films acquired by Jesuit priest Josef-Alexis Joye (1852–1919) in Basel, Switzerland. In Basel, Joye had established an educational institution, the Borromäum, that focused on social programs, such as caring for and instructing orphans, providing Sunday school classes, and offering education programs for recent Catholic émigrés and the working class.

In the early 1900s, Joye began to collect films and incorporate them into his lectures. These films have become known as the Josef Joye Collection. Joye acquired a wide variety of international films over a number of years from the secondhand market in Switzerland and Germany. After he left Basel in 1911, the films remained at the Borromäum. At the time of Turconi’s discovery of the collection, the prints were in various stages of chemical decay. Fearing that no trace would remain of these precious films, Turconi took brief clips (typically two or three frames per clipping) from each of them, thus preserving an invaluable documentation on the color techniques employed by film production companies at the beginning of the twentieth century. 

Today, the Turconi and Joye Collections are a primary source for the study of early cinema, and of color technology in particular. (The complete surviving films are now at the British Film Institute’s National Archive in London.) The George Eastman Museum acquired the Turconi Collection in the 1990s, and a massive digitization project was completed after twelve years of painstaking work. The sheer beauty of the nitrate frames and their colors can now be shared with the public.
