THAT'S THE POWER OF RED
New Video Series Highlights Campus Accomplishments
On football Saturdays at Memorial Stadium, the Huskervision screens come alive with the big plays on the field. But we also like to take time out to tell fans about the big success stories that take place off the field at Nebraska. It's a chance to brag about UNL's important research, our world-renowned faculty and our outstanding students and alumni. That's the Power of Red.

SHELDON MEMORIAL ART GALLERY, 5:30PM
Sheldon Memorial Art Galley to Hold Drawing Panel
The Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will host a drawing panel on Oct. 11, in conjunction with the "April Gornik: Paintings and Drawings" exhibition on view until Oct. 23. The drawing panel discussion will begin at 5:30 pm in the Sheldon's Ethel S. Abbott Auditorium, 14th and R streets.
The panel was convened to extend the reach of the Gornik exhibition into the realm of drawing. "A good portion of the April Gornik show is about drawing and since drawing is a basic skill of artists, the drawing panel became a way to explore drawing and its different manifestations and uses in the work of different artists," said Daniel Siedell, Sheldon curator. "The conversation will have to do with what drawing is, what is its function, how is it different from other artistic media?"
The drawing panel discussion will feature Jim Bockelman, Concordia University artist, as moderator, and UNL artists and faculty members Andrea Bolland, Aaron Holz, Liz Ingraham and Keith Jacobshagen as panelists. The drawing panel is designed for artists, university students and faculty, as well as community members interested in learning more about the nature of drawing.
General support for programs and exhibitions at the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden is provided in part by the Nebraska Art Association, the dedicated membership organization for the Sheldon. A Basic Support Grant from the Nebraska Arts Council, a State agency, supports Nebraska Art Association programs. The Sheldon is fully accredited by the American Association of Museums.

MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
Continuing This Week At The Ross: Aprês Vóus, The Beat That My Heart Skipped
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center
presents French films Aprês Vóus, a comedy starring several of France's most well-known actors, and The Beat That My Heart Skipped, the follow-up film from one of the country's most promising young directors.
In Aprês Vóus, two of France's most celebrated actors, Daniel Auteuil (The Closet, Girl on the Bridge) and José Garcia (Trouble Everyday, Jet Set), team up in a romantic comedy from director Pierre Salvadori (Wild Target) that begs the question: Can it actually be bad to be a Good Samaritan? Set in the most romantic city in the world, where the food is delicious and passions run deep, fate is about to step in and create an unlikely bond between two men. One will snatch the other from the brink of destruction then nearly push him toward it, and the other will take a surprising leap of faith that only a true friend can make.
Director Jacques Audiard and screenwriter Tonino Benacquista, who shared a 2002 Cesar Award for Best Original Screenplay for Read My Lips, team up again in The Beat That My Heart Skipped, a gritty psychological drama set in the dark, dank streets of Paris. The film is based on James Toback's cult favorite Fingers, in which Harvey Keitel played a tortured soul trapped between his love of the piano and his involvement with the mob. In this remake, Romain Duris stars as Tom, a ne-'er-do-well who works with two scheming real estate men, Fabrice (Jonathan Zaccai) and Sami (Gilles Cohen), who have little or no morals. When Tom sees his mother's old agent, he decides to return to the piano, practicing Bach's Toccata in E Minor for an important audition that he envisions could be a life-changing event. He hires a Vietnamese woman, Miao-Lin (Linh-Dan Pham), as his teacher, even though they speak different languages. While struggling to regain his mastery of the piano -- which he gave up after his virtuoso mother's tragic death -- he is called upon by his partners to participate in shady deals and even help one of them cheat on his wife (Aure Atika). He also has a troublesome relationship with his father (Niels Arestrup), who asks Tom to collect money he is owed, putting him in dangerous situations. The Beat That My Heart Skipped is an intelligent, involving film, told in long takes with a handheld camera to heighten the emotional impact of scene after scene.
