'Chintz Applique: From Imitation to Icon' Opens at Quilt Museum
A new exhibition at the International Quilt Study Center and Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln traces connections of textile fashion, technology and trade in "Chintz Applique: From Imitation to Icon." Organized by Carolyn Ducey, curator of collections, the exhibition will be on view Nov. 22 through May 17 at the museum, 1523 N. 33rd St.
Inspired by the painted and printed cottons of India, famous for their lively beauty and lasting qualities, the stunning colors and artistry of chintz applique quilts made them icons in the 19th century. They are considered among the most beautifully crafted, vibrantly colored and largest quilts ever made in America. The 21 circa 1790-1850 quilts presented in the exhibition give a glimpse into their makers' lives and society. more...

MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
A Girl Cut In Two and Rachel Getting Married Play at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents A Girl Cut In Two and Rachel Getting Married. Rachel Getting Married will play through November 26, while A Girl Cut In Two will have showings through December 4.
The French master of suspense Claude Chabrol returns with the razor-sharp, darkly seductive film A Girl Cut In Two. Gabrielle Deneige (Ludivine Sagnier of Swimming Pool) is an independent, ambitious TV weather girl torn between her love of a distinguished author several decades her senior (Francois Berleand), and the attentions of a headstrong, potentially unstable young suitor (Benoit Magimel). An unspoken past between the two men heightens tensions, and though she's initially certain of her love for one them, the see-saw demands and whims of both men keep confusing - and darkening - matters. Before long she's encountering emotional and societal forces well beyond her control, inexorably leading to a shocking clash of violence and passion.
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
