THE CORPORATION

November 4, 20097:30 pm

Film Screening & Fundraiser

Winner of 23 International Awards, The Corporation is an acclaimed documentary film which explores the nature and spectacular rise of the most pervasive institution of our time.

Few words have the baggage that the word corporate does. The majority of workers in the United States work for corporations. These days you’re most likely to hear the word corporate bandied about as a rallying cry. It’s leveled at artists who “sell out,” or go “corporate.” Thrown like pies at politicians with “corporate” interests. Corporate goons are the lynchpins of countless cuckold and old boy jokes. And yet corporations are stronger now than ever, driven by favorable political winds, fed by a steady stream of willing workers, and nestled deep and safe inside the American psyche.

The Corporation’s directors, Jennifer Abbott and Mark Achbar, attempt to distill all this into a 145-minute film. They succeed brilliantly, providing both entertainment and intellect.

“The Picture Man” – the photographs of Milton Rogovin

November 7, 2009 7:00 pmtoDecember 19, 2009 4:00 pm

HOURS: W, Th, F 2-7pm & Sat. 12-4 pm

Milton Rogovin is one of the foremost social documentary photographers of the 20th century. He photographed low income and working class people for 50 years and often said: “The rich have their own photographers. I have chosen to photograph the poor.” As Milton returned, decade after decade, to Buffalo’s Lower West Side he was often greeted with tears and the salutation, “The Picture Man is back!”  Milton Rogovin’s photographs celebrate community, legitimize and make visible the lives of common people, and bring dignity and hope to all our lives.

In 1999 the Library of Congress accepted Milton’s entire body of work.
