A world-famous designer and a curious cat headline the newest films opening Dec. 6 at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center.
“Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion” showcases the six-decade career of award-winning costume designer, Bob Mackie. And like his costumes, Bob Mackie is wholly unique and unfiltered, which makes for a compelling and candid subject.
The film examines Bob’s unique upbringing, those whom he has held dear within his inner circle, and the familial surprises in his life that have all contributed to the optimism and audacity present in his work. Being fully authorized, the filmmakers had access to the Mackie archive and many longtime collaborators and clients.
“Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion” is not rated and is showing through Dec. 12.
A wondrous journey, through realms natural and mystical, "Flow" follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Teaming up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, they must rely on trust, courage and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. From the boundless imagination of the award-winning Gints Zilbalodis ("Away") comes a thrilling animated spectacle as well as a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community. Steeped in the soaring possibilities of visual storytelling, "Flow" is a feast for the senses and a treasure for the heart.
"Flow" is rated PG and is showing through Dec. 19.
