Buffalo Film Seminars: Spring 2008 Screenings
The Buffalo Film Seminars return to the Market Arcade Film and Arts Center, starting this Tuesday, January 15th, marking its 16th season.
Diane Christian and Bruce Jackson host the seminars, introducing the films and leading the after screening discussion with the UB students registered for the class, and anyone else taking in classic cinema on the big screen.
Havn't been to a seminar yet? With this season including classics by François Truffaut, Robert Altman, Ingmar Bergman and Billy Wilder, it is an excellent opportunity to take a trip downtown (there’s free parking via theatre refund, in the M&T lot adjacent to the theatre), and enjoy a night of classic Cinema.
If you get there after 6:30pm, the Goldenrod handout, containing essays and readings on each film in the seminar, will be available, and typically comes in handy during the discussion. Tickets are available for individual screenings for $8.50 regular, $6.00 62 & over, and $6.50 students. However, if you’re a true cinemaphile, the 15% discount on all films for seasons tickets, might work out better. Ask at the MAFAC box office for more details on the season tickets, or to download a copy of the goldenrod packet for a particular film, check out the official site at buffalofilmseminars.com. Check out the entire list of films below, most of which will be projected on crisp 35mm. We’ll see you there!!

Albright-Knox Increases Adult Admission
Though it may only be the fifth time since 1992 that the Albright-Knox Art Galley has increased its admission rate, the higher fee speaks to the changing face of our society and economy. To keep the gallery in good financial health, it is necessary to increase the price of a regular adult admission ticket from $10 up to $12. The new price will go into effect on January 1st 2009.

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am

New Magazine To Focus On The Local Art Scene
What could be more perfect to spread the news about local artists at the Buffalo Indie Market than a literary magazine that features works from local artists? NOMAD is a new magazine set to debut in January 2009 that will feature writers, poets, photographers, artists, and designers from the area. Erica Eichelkraut, a freelance photographer, created NOMAD and is bringing it to the public. Since Eichelkraut is a part of the Buffalo Indie Market, it wasn’t long before a collaborat … - Dec 17th 2008, 12:00am

I've been to this seminar, and it's fantastic. I am already especially looking forward to "Now, Voyager"; "Tootsie" and "The Piano." They're all films that appeal to non-athletic wussies, like me, who were secluded by their parents. (Isn't that right, Better Than Detroit?) I'll be there wearing a pink t-shirt and sipping a cappuccino if you still want a piece of me by then. That is, of course, if you're not out at the Chophouse with your date named Gina, who has big '80s hair and an acid-washed miniskirt...or pounding Genny's at the Essex St Pub with your frat brothers.
