Hollestelle Retrospective Continues At NU State Museum
Fans of wood carving and wildlife art in general, and of Lincoln artist Cliff Hollestelle in particular, are in for a once-in-a-lifetime treat, when the exhibit "Cliff Hollestelle: A Retrospective" will be showing at the University of Nebraska State Museum.
The exhibit in the museum's Cooper Gallery on the third floor of Morrill Hall, 14th and U streets on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln City Campus, will include approximately 100 pieces of Hollestelle's work, most from the last 20 years. Because the individual pieces come from the private collections of more than 50 owners in a five-state area, the exhibit will provide a one-time chance to see the works in the same room. The objects will be returned to their owners after the show ends its four-month run March 31. more...

MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
This Film Is Not Yet Rated, Keeping Mum Show at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents This Film Is Not Yet Rated and Keeping Mum. Both films will be showing through December 7.
Passionate cinephiles can be found casting quizzical glances at the erratic and often conflicting decisions made by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as they slap ratings onto movies. So in an attempt to make sense of their working methods--which, until now, have remained shrouded in mystery--one of those cinephiles, Kirby Dick (Twist Of Faith), has made this full-length motion picture about the inner workings of the MPAA. Entertaining and informative, Dick's movie is everything a documentary should be. Revelations come thick and fast throughout, and the director skillfully creates a palpable feeling of injustice that will leave many viewers feeling the MPAA is in urgent need of a drastic overhaul.
Keeping Mum stars Rowan Atkinson as an absent-minded vicar of a rural parish who is so distracted by the pressures of his job that he fails to notice his wife's (Kristin Scott Thomas) dalliance with her brash golf instructor (Patrick Swayze), his daughter's parade of new boyfriends, and his young son's regular trouncing by the school's bullies. Enter their charming new housekeeper, Grace (Maggie Smith), the answer to the family's prayers: a sweet, grey-haired old lady with her own distinctive definition of cleaning house. One by one, the family members find that Grace is able to solve their problems, but they don't realize that her means are leading to a lot of ends and the population of their sleepy hamlet is rapidly diminishing.
