First New Director Series Film Announced360 | 365 and George Eastman House presents first New Director Series featuring Samantha Buck and her Film "21 Below" On Saturday, March 20 at 8 p.m., 360 | 365 and George Eastman House will present the first screening in our New Director series, featuring director Samantha Buck and her film 21 Below. The Dryden Theatre is home to our New Director series, a quarterly program which presents the first local screenings of recent works from directors making their first or second feature-length effort.
"We are thrilled to be launching the 360 | 365 George Eastman House New Director series," said Linda Moroney, managing director of the 360 | 365. "Rochester is, after all, the birthplace of motion picture film--and here is an opportunity for our community to see, firsthand, films by tomorrow's great visionaries." Filmed on location in Buffalo, N.Y., 21 Below tells the compelling and multi-faceted story of one American family in crisis. Pregnant with her first child, Sharon returns to Buffalo in an attempt to repair the relationship between her mother and her younger sister, Karen, who is pregnant with her third child and caring for one daughter dying from a rare, genetic disease. Richly complex and inspiring, 21 Below unfolds as a compassionate portrait of a family coming apart and the compromises required for reconciliation.
"Samantha Buck is a veteran film and television actress who makes a startlingly good directorial debut with this inspiring portrait of a Buffalo family in crisis, revealing their previously hidden emotional dimensions," said Jim Healy, Director of Programming, 360 | 365 George Eastman House Film Festival. Buck has acted in Z Rock, Six Degrees, Stella, and Law & Order: Criminal Intent. She will introduce the film and talk with the audience following the screening with a question-and-answer session. General admission is $7 and $5 for students. Please note, no Take-10 tickets or passes will be accepted at this special event. For more information, please visit www.film360365.com or 585-279-8312.

Nazareth & 360 | 365 Co-sponsor Rochester Teen Film Festival
Nazareth College and 360 | 365 are proud to sponsor the 2010 Rochester Teen Film Festival, a collaborative, juried media competition for youth in the Rochester region. The festival is set for Wednesday, August 4, 2010, when the winning films will be shown on the main screen at the Little Theatre in downtown Rochester, and a later showing at the 360 | 365 Film Festival in 2011. Now is the time for interested teens to submit their creative film work. There is an open call for film and videos in all genres from regional high school students, and the deadline for submissions is June 11, 2010. For more details regarding the competition and work submission, visit www.film360365.com/school or contact Dr. Brian Bailey, assistant professor of education, at (585) 389-2764 or bbailey2@naz.edu or Linda Moroney, managing director of 360 | 365, at (585) 279-8312 or email lmoroney@film360365.com. Last year, the Teen Film Festival featured 13 titles from 10 different urban, suburban and rural schools around the Rochester area. "Nazareth College is excited to participate with 360 | 365 in this important community event that showcases the stories and talents of Rochester area youth through the moving image," says Brian Bailey, assistant professor of education at Nazareth College and co-founder of the Rochester Urban Youth Film Festival. "An integral part of 360 | 365's mission is education of Upstate New York youth and emerging filmmakers. The Rochester Teen Film Festival and our collaboration with Nazareth College is an excellent step in this direction", says Linda Moroney, managing director of 360 | 365. In addition to the screening at the Little Theatre and the 360 | 365 George Eastman House Film Festival, finalists will be given free passes to selected films, events and parties. 360 | 365 grew out of the very successful Rochester High Falls International Film Festival. The 360 | 365 George Eastman House Film Festival (May 5 – 10, 2010) captures both the birthplace of the art form and it's cutting edge evolution. In recognition of it's history, the 360 | 365 Film Festival focuses a portion of its programming on the achievements of women in filmmaking. However, the new Festival expands its programming with a wide range of films appealing to all audiences, age ranges, and personal tastes. In addition, 360 | 365 is a year-round conversation that includes short- and feature-length emerging filmmakers in its Shorts Contest and New Director Series. 360 | 365 interactively engages filmmakers and our audiences in education, discovery, and celebration through the medium of film in all aspects and directions, 365 days a year. For more information about 360 | 365, visit www.film360365.com.
