LIVING IN OBLIVION   Director: Tom DiCillo Year: 1995 Runtime: 90 min. Country: USA Language: English Color: Color, B&W Format: 16mm

An independent film about making an independent film, Living in Oblivion is a low-budget answer to Fellini's 8 1/2. Indie icon Steve Buscemi stars as an exasperated auteur, and the film's three sections cleverly shuffle between anxiety dream, wish-fulfillment, and waking nightmare. Hip and hilarious, Living in Oblivion is enriched by a fascinating inside view of filmmaking, and by a climactic vision of even the humblest movie set as a magnet for personal dreams. "Smart, raffish and wickedly playful. It has the freshness and spontaneity that signal a labor of love." — Janet Maslin, The New York Times "A very funny picture. Le Gros is a scream, and Buscemi is likable, intense and explosive." — Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle     showtime Thursday, July 22 at 6:30 pm location Nevada Museum of Art - Prim Theater 160 West Liberty Street admission $6 general / $4 GBFS or NMA members
