The documentary "Time to Choose," filmed by award-winning director Charles Ferguson, examines climate change and its impact on Earth. The film plays July 29 to Aug. 4 at UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center.

Academy Award-wining director Charles Ferguson’s new documentary, “Time to Choose,” opens July 29 at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center.

Also showing for another week is “Absolutely Famous: The Movie,” which is an adaptation of a classic British sitcom. Both films play through Aug. 4.

“Time to Choose” examines challenges of climate change around the world and possible solutions to fix the problem. Through interviews with world-renowned entrepreneurs, innovators, thought leaders and individuals on the front lines of climate change, Ferguson takes an in-depth look at the people working to save the planet.

The film, which features narration by award-winning actor Oscar Isaac, is not rated.

“Absolutely Fabulous” stars Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Sauders as Patsy and Edina, who are growing old disgracefully.

Based on the British sitcom of the same name, “Absolutely Fabulous” follows Edina and Patsy — each still oozing glitz and glamour — living the high life, shopping, drinking and clubbing around London’s trendiest hotspots. While attending an uber fashionable launch party, Edina and Patsy are blamed for knocking Kate Moss into the Thames River and become entangled in a media storm.

Relentlessly pursued by paparazzi, Edina and Patsy flee penniless to the French Riviera, where they hatch a plan to escape and live the high life forever.

“Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie” is rated R for language, sexual references and some drug use.
