}}Film Streams is a nonprofit arts organization in Omaha, Nebraska[1] that oversees two cinemas: the Ruth Sokolof Theater, in North Downtown Omaha, and the historic Dundee Theater, Omaha’s longest surviving neighborhood cinema.[2] It receives funding from corporate and individual donors, members, and the government.[3][4][5]

History

Founded by Rachel Jacobson in 2005, Film Streams' mission is to enhance the cultural environment of the Omaha-Council Bluffs area through the presentation and discussion of film as an art form.[6]

In July 2007, Film Streams opened the Ruth Sokolof Theater, a new two-screen cinema in downtown Omaha's North Downtown (NoDo) area,[7] within a development anchored by internationally acclaimed music label Saddle Creek Records.[8][9] In February 2016, Film Streams announced that Susie Buffett's Sherwood Foundation had donated the 92-year-old Dundee Theater to the organization.[10] The organization launched a public capital campaign in April 2017 with the intention of renovating and reopening the cinema by 2018.[11]

The name "Film Streams" is inspired by Omaha (the word means "above all others on a stream") and the John Cassavetes film, Love Streams.[12]

The Ruth Sokolof Theater

The Ruth Sokolof Theater has two auditoriums with 35-millimeter platter and reel-to-reel projection capabilities.[8] The larger theater seats 206 and runs first run feature films. The smaller theater seats 96 and shows a selection of classic films, retrospectives, and other films.[3] Film Streams has DVD, Blu-ray, and digital high-definition projection.

Rachel Jacobson founded Films Streams by joining with Saddle Creek Records, the indie record label based in Omaha, to build a mini-campus in a deserted downtown Omaha area.[13] The block that is home to Film Streams also houses the Saddle Creek headquarters and Slowdown, a rock club the label operates.[8][14][15][16]

Ruth Sokolof

Film Streams' North Downtown Omaha cinema is named after Ruth Sokolof, née Rosinsky (1925-1982), a well-known educator in Omaha who focused her life on helping children with disabilities.[17] With her husband, Phil,[18][19] many education-based scholarships are awarded in their name each year to Omaha-area students and educators.[20][21]

The Dundee Theater

Film Streams announced plans to renovate and reopen Omaha's longest-running cinema in February 2016. When opened, it will feature two screens: the historic 300-seat main house and a new 25-seat microcinema.[22] The lobby will also house Kitchen Table Central, a second location of a popular farm-to-table restaurant.[23]

Programming

Film Streams offers screenings of first-run films and a selection of retrospectives and classic films; education programs, and community development programs.[24]

Programming includes:

  • First run films: New American independents, documentaries, and international films making their theatrical premieres in Omaha and the surrounding region.
