SWIMMING IN NEBRASKA BY JON JOST Thursday, September 16 - 7:00 p.m. Nebraska Premiere - Admission Free FEATURING Marjorie Mikasen, William Wehrbein, Mark Griep, and the choir of the Eastridge Presbyterian Church in Lincoln, Nebraska Preceded by a reception open only to members of The Friends of The Ross and their guests beginning at 5:30 p.m. An essay-documentary of what one might suppose most would call an experimental kind. It is meant as an oblique critique of the kind of provincialism in which New Yorkers or Parisians or Angelinos say things like, "Nebraska, there's nothing there." This film is a celebration of the provincialism where there's "nothing." A rich tapestry of color, ideas, and a kind of spirituality. An electronic essay. “Swimming in Nebraska was made during a residency with the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Many people asked me why I would go there, to a place which most Americans - especially those who imagine themselves cultured and sophisticated - think there is "nothing." I meant to make a kind of critique of that way of thinking, though it seems when it was finished it became something else - less a critique, and more a celebration of people, ideas, a place, and this world, where ever one is. Perhaps it is a prayer for someone like me, a prayer-less person.”—Jon Jost SWIMMING IN NEBRASKA - 74 minutes Credits: Jon Jost, Producer, conception, cinematography, editing, computer graphics, music; additional help in editing and other things, Marcella Di Palo Jost Shot in DV; final presentation form DV (PAL).
