9 Films on Screen
Multi-hyphenate entertainer has had a career that has spanned more than sixty years. Five years after releasing her Grammy-winning debut album (at twenty years old), she added Academy Award-winning actress to her resume with her breakout film Funny Girl (1968). Within a decade of that performance, she was producing films, and not long after directed her first feature film, Yentl (1983). From musicals to comedies to dramas, Streisand has done it all through the course of her career. In this series, we chart her cinematic success from the beginning and over the course of thirty years. From someone who once said, “I only began to sing because I couldn’t get a job as an actress,” you’ll get a lot of both, with some extra directorial credits thrown in.

Slavko Vorkapich Montage Sequences
Slavko Vorkapich (Serbian, 1894–1976) created some of the most spectacular Hollywood film montage sequences when montage was emerging as a sophisticated new filmmaking technique. This selection of Vorkapich sequences includes excerpts from films made between 1928 and 1950 that demonstrate Vorkapich’s mastery of film montage.
Montage is a quick succession of shots designed to artfully manipulate time while advancing a film’s plot. It first appeared in European films made in the 1920s by innovators like Sergei Eisenstein and Abel Gance. These directors would place montage sequences at key...
Radio Flyer (35mm)
American, born Hungary “History is all in the mind of the teller. The truth is all in the telling.” Prior to writing and directing The Sandlot (1993), David Mickey Evans painted a more bittersweet image of nostalgia with his script for Radio Flyer.

Paper Moon (35mm)

Dutch Connection 2026
Find respite from Rochester’s chilly winter with a warm favorite, Dutch Connection. Drawing thousands of visitors to the museum, this annual floral display serves as a sweet reminder that spring is on its way.
George Eastman ordered tens of thousands of bulbs from Holland every year between 1905 and 1932. The orders were mostly for tulips, narcissus, and hyacinths for his gardens, and some for indoor forcing (tricking bulbs to bloom out of season). Eastman’s bulb orders were inspired by the flower fields he saw while bicycling through the countryside during a trip to Holland in 1895.
