The Palace Theatre in Frostburg, Maryland will be screening the Jeff Nichols' film "Take Shelter" on Friday, January 20 and Saturday, January  21. 

Plagued by a series of apocalyptic visions, a young husband and father questions whether to shelter his family from a coming storm, or from himself (imdb.com).

Curtis Laforche lives in a small Ohio town with his wife Samantha and six-year-old daughter Hannah, who is deaf.  Curtis makes a modest living as a crew chief for a sand-mining company.  Money is tight, but despite that, Curtis and Samanthaare very much in love and their family is a happy one.Then Curtis begins having terrifying dreams about an encroaching storm.  He channels his anxiety into the obsessive building of a storm shelter in their backyard.  His seemingly inexplicable behavior concerns and confounds Samantha, and provokes intolerance among friends and neighbors.  But the resulting strain on his marriage and tension within the community doesn't compare to Curtis' private fear of what his dreams may truly signify.
