Secrecy and Rachel Getting Married Play at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents Secrecy and Rachel Getting Married. Secrecy will screen for one week only through November 20, while Rachel Getting Married will play through November 26.
The process by which our government classifies documents is something that most Americans have little knowledge about. In a single recent year, the United States government classified about five times the number of pages added to the Library of Congress at a cost of about eight billion dollars. Secrecy, a powerful and provocative new film by Robb Moss and Peter Galison, examines the complexities and layers of our government's obsession with secrecy and the effects it has had on individuals and on our government. Using original animation, a powerful score, and expertly edited interviews with both proponents and detractors of our government's policies, Secrecy sheds light on the reasons for classifying documents as secret.
Rachel Getting Married is a contemporary drama with an aggressive sense of humor about the return of an estranged daughter to the family home for her sister's wedding. Kym's (Anne Hathaway) reemergence throws a wrench into the family dynamics, forcing long-simmering tensions to surface in ways both hilarious and heartbreaking. Rachel Getting Married paints a colorful, nuanced family portrait and is filled with the rich characters that have always been a hallmark of Jonathan Demme's films. - Moviefone
