Each year, filmmakers throughout the world produce dozens of exhilarating new movies – groundbreaking films with the power to stir emotions and inspire imaginations as only great cinema can do. For years, many of these films have passed by the Omaha area without playing on a single screen. We want to change that. We want local audiences to have access to the most promising independents, documentaries, and foreign films being made today, as well as repertory selections rarely experienced anymore on the big screen.

So, we’re building a cinema. A wonderful, comfortable, exciting new cinema in downtown Omaha with two theaters devoted to quality films both past and present. Thanks to the tremendous community support for our Start-Up Capital Campaign, including a Challenge Grant from the Peter Kiewit Foundation, we’re well on our way. But we still have work ahead of us, and we’d love your help.

As the region’s only mission-based, nonprofit cinema, Film Streams depends on the support of our membership program, individual donors, and grants from foundations, corporations, and government organizations. There are several ways to support Film Streams, and we hope you’ll take a moment to explore those options listed to the left.

Thank you for your consideration, and for your interest in helping us bring new and innovative cinema to our community!

Best wishes,
Film Streams Board and Staff
