July 4 – 31, 2008

It’s with great excitement that we welcome back to Omaha Laura Dern, whose contributions to cinema over the past quarter-century exemplify film as art. Hers has been a career defined by brave choices and brilliant performances — from challenging literary drama (SMOOTH TALK) to Lynchian mind-blower (BLUE VELVET) to Nebraska-based satire (CITIZEN RUTH), back to Lynchian mind-blower (INLAND EMPIRE). <br><br>
In addition to being our special guest for Film Streams’ first annual fundraiser event, Feature 2008 on Sunday, July 13, Laura has also generously helped to curate this special repertory series featuring seven of her own pictures and two movies that have influenced her work in film.
