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...

Jesus Camp, Half Nelson Show at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents Jesus Camp and Half Nelson. Both films will be showing through December 7.
Jesus Camp, which is directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (The Boys of Baraka), follows Levi, Rachael, Tory and a number of other young children to Pastor Becky Fischer's Kids on Fire summer camp in Devil's Lake, North Dakota, where kids as young as 6 years-old are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in God's army. The film follows these children at camp as they hone their prophetic gifts and are schooled in how to take back America for Christ. The film is a first-ever look into an intense training ground that recruits born-again Christian children to become an active part of America's political future.
In Half Nelson, high school teacher Dan (Ryan Gosling) and quiet teenager Drey (Shareeka Epps) are two lonely souls who wander the planet looking to attach some semblance of meaning to their chaotic lives. Dan teaches Drey in a dilapidated school in Brooklyn, New York. Their relationship is unremarkable until Drey discovers Dan collapsed and clutching a crack pipe in a grimy toilet cubicle in the high school gym. It is from this pivotal moment that director Ryan Fleck builds a tentative friendship between these two unlikely allies, creating one of 2006's most arresting films in the process.
