'Cashin Plus Six' Exhibit Continues at Hillestad Gallery
The Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln presents "Bonnie Cashin Plus Six" through April 13. The exhibition includes 33 garments by American designers who developed a reputation for their independence and vision in the post-World War II era. In addition to Cashin, the show features work by Hattie Carnegie, Pauline Trigere, Claire McCardell, Ceil Chapman, Norman Norell and James Galanos.
The American designers were known for breaking away from the fashion dictates and traditions of Paris after the war and addressing the needs and lifestyles of the modern American woman. Adapting the pea coat for women's suits, designing with wool for evening wear and incorporating hand bags into coats are just some the fashion forward ideas these women and men explored. Many other ideas continue to inspire today's designers, demonstrating the importance of this period in American fashion. more...

The Lives Of Others, Berliner Schule: A Retrospective of Contemporary German Cinema Show at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents The Lives Of Others and Berliner Schule: A Retrospective of Contemporary German Cinema. The Oscar-winning (for best foreign-language film) The Lives Of Others will play through March 29, while the Berliner Schule will have showings through April 5.
At once a political thriller and human drama, The Lives Of Others begins in East Berlin in 1984, five years before Glasnost and the fall of the Berlin Wall and ultimately takes us to 1991, in what is now the reunited Germany. The Lives Of Others traces the gradual disillusionment of Captain Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Muhe, best known for his lead roles in Michael Haneke's Funny Games and as Dr. Mengele in Costa-Gavras' Amen), a highly skilled officer who works for the Stasi, East Germany's all-powerful secret police. His mission is to spy on a celebrated writer and actress couple, Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch) and Christa-Maria Sieland (Martina Gedeck).
From March 23 - April 5, the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center is presenting a major Retrospective of Contemporary German Cinema, titled "Berliner Schule," curated by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Professor Marco Abel. The event will encompass 12 films and host two filmmakers: Christoph Hochhausler, the director of Milchwald (2003) and Falscher Bekenner (2005) will be present on March 30 through April 3; and Benjamin Heisenberg, the director of Schlafer (2005) and co-screenwriter of Milchwald will be visiting from March 23 through March 27.
