Photography Exhibit 'On the Land' by Joel Sartore at NU State Museum
A new exhibit at the University of Nebraska State Museum showcases the work of Nebraska native and National Geographic magazine contributing photographer Joel Sartore, with exhibit commentary from local environmentalist Dan Semrad.
"On the Land," shown in the museum's Cooper Gallery, features 38 photographs that examine our relationship with the earth. The exhibit examines environmental stories from around the globe, starting with Alaska's North Slope. America's demand for energy is beginning to compromise this vast and complex stronghold for wildlife. Photos from natural gas drilling sites in the American West illustrate the consequences that industrial development has on the land and the people who depend upon it for their livelihood. more...

MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
The Host, The Animation Show Play at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents The Host and The Animation Show. Both films will run through May 10.
The talk of the 2006 Cannes International Film Festival, The Host, the latest film from critically acclaimed visionary director Bong Joon-ho, has already garnered a substantial amount of international buzz. Utilizing state-of-the-art special effects courtesy of a creative partnership between Weta Workshop (King Kong, The Lord of the Rings) and The Orphanage (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Sin City), The Host is equal parts creature-feature thrill ride and poignant human drama.
The Animation Show is an annual feature-length compilation of the best animated short films from around the world, exclusively curated by Mike Judge (Office Space, "Beavis and Butt-Head," "King of the Hill") and Academy Award nominated animator Don Hertzfeldt (Billy's Balloon, Rejected, The Meaning of Life). The Animation Show launched in 2003, making it the first festival of animation created and produced with actual animators at the helm. A sister series of high quality Animation Show DVDs now supplement the theatrical tour with additional insights and brand new lineups of films - while the main Show remains a unique and unforgettable annual program that is usually gone forever once it is out of theaters.
More information is available at the Ross website.
