An arthouse theatre in Omaha, Nebraska
I read this article in the NY Times this morning about an arthouse theatre in the unlikely place of Omaha, Nebraska!
I found this to be really inspiring! My family lives in Georgia and every time I got home, I lament the lack of cinematic diversity. I also think many people have misconceptions about arthouse films, like the person in this article who didn’t know that foreign films have subtitles. I think if you just encourage people to try arthouse films, they might really enjoy it and broaden their horizons. Every time I go home, I bring several DVDs with me and show new (or at least very different) films to my parents. They have really suprised me with their reactions. I also have to give them credit, as they have always been very game about watching whatever I decide to bring home. Fortunately someone has started a local film society in their town, so at least that’s something.
I greatly admire what Rachel Jacobson has done in setting up FilmStreams. I seriously need to meet her!
