Marcus Midtown Cinema to Host EQUUS Film Festival

Marcus Midtown Cinema in Midtown Crossing will be stoking the equine excitement when Omaha welcomes the Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping & FEI World Cup™ Dressage Finals Omaha 2017, March 29-April 2. The theater was chosen to host the Omaha stop of the 4th annual EQUUS Film Festival (www.equusfilmfestival.net), a unique touring event that features a wide selection of equine films.

The EQUUS Film Festival is the first-of-its-kind to highlight and reward the diverse, creative efforts of those who pay artistic homage to the horse. Marcus Midtown Cinema will offer two matinees daily on Thursday, March 30, thru Saturday, April 1, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Shuttle service will be provided from the front entrance to CenturyLink Center Omaha. Films will be shown in two-hour blocks, pairing one feature and a few shorter films each time. A collection of EQUUS Film Festival shorts will also be shown at CenturyLink Center Omaha.

The FEI World Cup™ Finals Omaha 2017 will attract the world’s best horses and riders in two Olympic disciplines to the CenturyLink Center. It is the first-time Omaha has hosted a World Cup and, by extension, an international professional championship. Riders are expected to represent at least 25 different countries.
