The Namesake, Berliner Schule: A Retrospective of Contemporary German Cinema Show at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents The Namesake and Berliner Schule: A Retrospective of Contemporary German Cinema. The Berliner Schule will have showings through April 5, while The Namesake will play through April 12.
The Namesake is the story of the Ganguli family whose move from Calcutta to New York evokes a lifelong balancing act to meld to a new world without forgetting the old. Though parents Ashoke and Ashima (Irfan Khan, Tabu) long for the family and culture that enveloped them in India, they take great pride in the opportunities their sacrifices have afforded their children. Paradoxically, their son Gogol (Kal Penn) is torn between finding his own unique identity without losing his heritage. Even Gogol's name represents the family's journey into the unknown.
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.
More information is available at the Ross website.
