Love this theater! Just got a membership because I plan to go often. I love that they show thought provoking movies and they have some great business practices like providing composting and recycling receptacles and selling locally made art and snacks.

Film Streams is a lovely venue for watching independent films. There always seems to be something interesting playing. The seating is stadium-style, so all seats allow for a good view. If you become a member, you recieve a discount on both movie tickets and snacks. Check it out if you are looking for thoughtful, well-crafted films!

This is the best place to see a movie in Omaha! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and care about the theater. It's always clean. They have great snack and drink options. They have many volunteer opportunities which is a great way to get free movie passes.

Loved the vibe of this theater. And it's a non-for-profit, which is exceptional. I also like the fact the movies they show here are independent gems. Documentaries, inde films, special interest films..etc. I had wondered where I could see these types of films I love watching on netflix, on the big screen in Omaha..and I found it at Film Streams.

If you're looking to watch indie or foreign films this is the place to go. One of my favorite things about this theatre is that they play an array of diverse films and even have panelists who come and talk about the film. I love that they have free movie Mondays every month and they have student nights if you have a student ID. I'm really happy there's a place like Film Streams in town and also a newly opened theatre in the Dundee neighborhood!

Film Streams consistently brings in quality pictures that other theaters in the area ignore. They have comfortable seats and delicious snacks (beer, wine, soda, popcorn etc...). Their listings are a bit easy to overlook, so check their website often to see what you are missing at other theaters.

The "Ruth" is one of the finest arthouse theaters in Omaha, Nebraska. Equally charming and inviting is the new Dundee Theater. Both part of Film Streams and feature two theatres in each. The Kitchen Table in the Dundee Theater is a restaurant that compliments the experience of the theater patrons.

This is a wonderful business. Their discussions are always so thoughtful and their selection is that of the way I eat. At times the selection is new and provocative, but other times they offer classic comforts.

Lovely little independent theater that is now expanding into two locations! Shoutout to Aaron and team for always being amazing, fresh, and inspiring. Snacks and coffee are local, and there's free student film nights on Monday's. You're welcome.

It took me awhile to finally get out and discover this theater and I'm sure now I will be going on a regular basis. The theater screen isn't the smallest i've seen for an independent/art house theater, but at least there is a place to see them on a big screen in Omaha.

Great theater. Love the independent vibe it gives off as well as the unique films it shows. Unfortunately I don't live anywhere close to the theater so I don't get to make it down as often as I'd like but it's definitely a great place. Just recently saw Don't Think Twice there. Great flick and the service was top notch as usual. Definitely recommend!

One of the few local theaters that shows the Metropolitan Opera Live in HD broadcasts. Very clean place; I've never encountered sticky floors or gum under the seats. Only two screens, but this is to be expected of an Art house film theater. Selection of movies is limited to independent films, art films, Met Opera broadcasts, and showings of classic films, so if those interest you, this is a good theater. Concessions include standard Cinema fare as well as beer and wine. Only problem is that the parking lot is behind the building and is shared with serval other businesses, which can limit the number of parking spots.

Hipster Ravenclaw graduates go here to see art films; then they can walk downtown to any of the groovy bars for post-flic discussions over mixed drinks. If you want to feel like you're young and cool and smarter than the average person, go here to see movies about progressive social topics and enjoy. Not where I would go to see any of the Legos movies. I'd give it five stars if the inside of the theaters didn't feel like my uncle's basement.

This is a great theater that shows real movies. This isn't the place for summer blockbusters, but it is the place for award-winning films and even hearing directors and film makers discuss their work. The films shown here are both enjoyable and thought-provoking.

About Filmstreams

The organization is located in the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro area, and it has been providing quality film programming for over 30 years. Filmstreams offers a unique experience for moviegoers who are looking for something more than just a typical night at the movies.

One of the things that sets Filmstreams apart from other movie theaters is its commitment to showcasing films that are not typically shown in mainstream theaters. This means that visitors to Filmstreams can expect to see independent films, foreign films, documentaries, and other types of movies that they might not be able to find anywhere else.

In addition to showing great movies, Filmstreams also offers a variety of programs and events designed to enhance the movie-going experience. For example, they often host Q&A sessions with filmmakers or experts on particular topics related to the films being shown. They also offer special screenings for children and families, as well as educational programs for students.

Another thing that makes Filmstreams unique is its commitment to community engagement. The organization works closely with local schools and community groups to provide access to quality film programming for everyone in the area. They also partner with other organizations on special events or initiatives related to film.

If you're interested in checking out what's coming up at Filmstreams, you can visit their website or stop by their location in downtown Omaha. You'll find information about upcoming screenings, special events, membership options (which come with perks like discounted tickets), and more.

Overall, if you're looking for a different kind of movie-going experience – one where you can see great films while also engaging with your community – then Filmstreams might be just what you're looking for!
