The 2022 Sundance Film Festival Short Film Tour is a 95-minute theatrical program of 7 short films curated from the 2022 Sundance Film Festival short film program, including three titles that won Festival awards. Considered the premier showcase for short films and the launchpad for many now-prominent independent filmmakers, the Festival includes fiction, documentary and animation from around the world. Throughout its almost 40 years of history, the Festival has always supported short films, providing a platform for both established and new filmmakers to connect with audiences. The 2022 Short Film Tour program is a sampling of Festival offerings and a testament to the unique storytelling potential that the format holds. Audiences who missed the Sundance Film Festival – which took place online and in-person in 7 cities across the country from January 20 through January 30 this year – can enjoy a mix of fiction, documentary, and animated shorts that are funny, sad, inspirational, and full of strong characters. 

Nevada’s PreK-12 educators are invited to a special in-person back-to-school night. Enjoy access to the Museum’s exhibitions, a DJ, small bites and a bar. Participate in hands-on activities and a raffle. Over a dozen education providers will be present to share teaching resources.

Free for PreK-12 educators. Advanced registration required.

In 1935, Dr. Raphael Herman, his brother Norman B. Herman, and Norman’s wife, Mariana, jointly purchased the sprawling Jensen ranch located just northwest of the University of Nevada campus. With permanent residences in Beverly Hills and Hollywood, the trio hired Paul Revere Williams in 1936 to design a custom home in the Classical Revival style on the Reno property, which they renamed Rancho San Rafael. Join us for coffee in the courtyard of the Main Ranch House followed by a presentation by historian and author Dr. Alicia Barber.  

Program will be held at the Main Ranch House, located in Rancho San Rafael Regional Park, 1595 N. Sierra Street, Reno NV 89503.

Pre-registration required.
