'Alice's House' Continues at UNL's Lentz Center
"Alice's House: Chinese and Japanese Art from the Collection of Alice V. Abel" will open Sept. 9 and will run through Dec. 22 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Lentz Center for Asian Culture. An opening party will celebrate Abel's collection and the Lentz Center's 20th anniversary. The party will take place in the center from 1:30-4 pm Sept. 10. Brief remarks will be made at 2:30. The public is invited.
A well-known Lincoln resident and distinguished graduate of the University of Nebraska (class of 1946), Abel was a philanthropist with many contributions and honors, including being a board member of the University of Nebraska Foundation and chairperson of the Board of Trustees of Nebraska Wesleyan University. Among her gifts to the city are Hazel Abel Park and the Alice Abel Arboretum at Nebraska Wesleyan. She died in March 2005.
"We at the Lentz Center are very fortunate to have been loaned 22 items from her collection," said Barbara Banks, curator/director of the Lentz Center. "The Lentz Center will celebrate its 20th anniversary in September and we have purposely chosen this time to show Alice Abel's collection. Her collection demonstrates her devotion to Asian art. In the tradition of Don and Velma Lentz, she has been willing to share her collection with the public." more...

MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
The Road To Guantanamo, Brothers Of The Head Show at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents The Road To Guantanamo and Brothers Of The Head. Both films will be showing through September 14.
Winner of the Silver Beat at the Berlin International Film Festival, The Road To Guantanamo is the terrifying first-hand account of three British citizens who were held for two years without charges in the American military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Known as the "Tipton Three," in reference to their home town in Britain, the three were eventually returned to Britain and released, still having had no formal charges ever made against them at any time during their ordeal. The film has already engendered significant controversy due to its critical stance towards the American and British governments. Part documentary, part dramatization, the film chronicles the sequence of events that led from the trio setting out from Tipton in the British Midlands for a wedding in Pakistan, to their crossing the Afghanistan border just as the U.S. began their invasion, to their eventual capture by the Northern Alliance and their imprisonment in Camp X-Ray and later at Camp Delta in Guantanamo.
With Brothers Of The Head, Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe (the acclaimed directors of Lost in La Mancha) present their much anticipated debut feature. Written by Tony Grisoni (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), Brothers Of The Head is the feverish, mind-bending odyssey of conjoined twins Tom and Barry Howe who were plucked from obscurity by a 1970s music promoter and groomed into a boy band. Grappling with impossible love, artistic rivalry, and a dark inner life, the twins embrace their freakishness and spit it back in the form of searing Punk Rock. Brothers of the Head is a raucous ride through the seamy underground of 70's rock, and an unsettling glimpse into a relationship that is as beautiful as it is destructive.
