Is there a way to filter snapes based on attributes?

I have a shape file with each shape having a date and I want to display
only shapes within a certain date range. I used the FILTER layer
parameter when I was using postgis (which I can't do anymore because I
can't do a distinct select). Now I'm using a shape file.

Thanks,
