Two new films, one delivering unseen material from the life of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and another about a couple in rural Ireland, will show at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center beginning April 25.
An expansive and revelatory inside look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s life in Greenwich Village in the early 1970s, "One to One: John & Yoko" delivers an immersive cinematic experience that brings to life electrifying, never-before-seen material and newly restored footage of John and Yoko’s only full-length concert. Featuring mind-blowing music newly remixed and produced by Sean Ono Lennon, the film is a seismic revelation that will challenge pre-existing notions of the iconic couple.
"One to One: John and Yoko" is rated R and shows through May 8.
In "That They May Face the Rising Sun," Joe and Kate Ruttledge have returned from London to live and work among the small, close-knit community near to where Joe grew up in Ireland. Now deeply embedded in life around the lake, the drama of a year in their lives and those of the memorable characters around them unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons as this enclosed world becomes an everywhere.
"That They May Face the Rising Sun" is not rated and shows through May 1.
More information is available on the Ross' website.
