Exhibit to battle TV appeal
rhmn? the first half of this century.
I2jn$ were one of the most powerful cut
turai forces in the United States. But after
WWII, movies lost much of their import
ance in the eyes of Americans.
With tne auvcni ui icwuisiun, uic oaoy
boom (which made television appealing to
.t.,,c wha could not often afford babv
sitters), and the increasing costs and profit
motive of fd making, movies have
become less accessible to audiences. It is
especially inaccessible to those who are
poor and from rural areas.
n order to give more Nebraskans a
chance to view some of America's most
cherished film classics, Sheldon Film
Theater is starting a state-wide travelling
film exhibition titled "Rediscovering the
American Cinema."
Director and curator for this pilot pro
ject is Terry Nygren. Nygreri has a master's
degree in English from UN L As a graduate
student, she spent a year at the University
of Paris studying cinematography, film
theory and film history. Also a part time
fellow at UNL's Centennial College,
Nygren, has a continuing interest in the
image of women in film. Besides her duties
as curator for the travelling film exhibition,
she will also be teaching a course with Prof.
Mary Jo Deegen on Women in the Media.
Films selected for exhibition are Charlie
Chaplin's The Gold Rush, Fritz Lang's
Fury (starring Spencer Tracy), John Ford's
Ford's Stagecoach , (starring John Wayne),
The Grapes of Wrath (another John Ford
film starring Henry Fonda), Alfred Hitch
cock's (Suspicion, Orson Welles' Citizen
Kane and George Cukor's Adam's Rib
(starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer
Tracy).
Each month
Ms. Nygren will visit each participating
community at least once. Along with distri
buting brochures, she wrote for the pro
gram. She will visit classrooms, clubs, and
organizations and lead discussions.
Topics to be considered for the lec-

in turyt a popular depression era film; the
jovcl'to-film transition of The Grapes of
wrath stereotyping of native Americans in
Stagecoach: sex rotes in Adam . . Rib: and
spectator psychology and the pleasure of
the spectator when watching Suspkbn.
Nygren said she will let the sponsors
decide what she will do when she visits
their community, since the success of this
program lies mainly with them.
Tw projects similar
According to Nygren, only two other
projects similar to this one are in progress .
One of them is in Minnesota and the other
is in Colorado where foreign films are pre
sented. If the program in Nebraska goes weU,
Nygren hopes to see it continue as well as
begin including foreign films, and recent
American pictures made by independent
film makers.
