Friends funding is vital to the life of The Ross and makes it possible to continue bringing award-winning independent, documentary, and international films to Lincoln. Friends support great Ross events including the Norman A. Geske Cinema Showcase visiting filmmaker program, Ross festivals like MADE IN NEBRASKA and FAMILY FILM FEST, special screenings, performances by The Anvil Orchestra, and more!
As a special incentive during the Spring Membership Drive, The Friends are offering a discounted membership rate to UNL
FACULTY/STAFF:
To take advantage of this discount, join online and select one of the UNL levels, or pick up a flyer in the Ross lobby.
As long as there has been a film theater at the University of Nebraska, there has been a visiting artist program. Starting in 1973, the Sheldon Film Theater Film/Video Showcase welcomed guests, including Richard Myers (1973), Jon Jost (1975), Wim Wenders (1982), Wallace Shawn (1982), Martin Sheen (1985), and Werner Herzog (1986).
When the Nebraska heat hits the triple digits, what better place to go than a cool, dark movie theater with other local film fans? We have a great lineup of special events and series coming to The Ross in the summer months, beginning with the return of the MADE IN NEBRASKA series on June 3. Every Wednesday Night in June and July we will be featuring a different movie filmed in the Cornhusker state. Tickets are just $5.
