Aurora Picture Show, in a co-presentation with Houston Cinema Arts Society, presents HERE [THE STORY SLEEPS], Live Cinema Performance by Braden King, Saturday, November 12, at 8 PM. Location: TBH Center, 333 South Jensen.

HERE [ THE STORY SLEEPS ] is a live, dynamic deconstruction of HERE [ THE FILM ]. A multi-screen, hybrid film-concert that explores the dreamlife of cinematic narrative, HERE [ THE STORY SLEEPS ] functions on several formal, narrative and conceptual levels at once, transcending all manner of media and audience borderlines.

 A continuing series of live events produced in association with Pomegranate Arts, HERE [ THE STORY SLEEPS ] is an evolving collaboration between filmmaker Braden King, composer Michael Krassner, the Boxhead Ensemble, projection designer Deborah Johnson and programmer Brian Chasalow.

Braden King is a New York-based filmmaker, photographer and visual artist. His most recent feature film, a road movie called HERE, premiered at the 2011 Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals. HERE will be distributed by Strand Releasing in early 2012. A live installation version of the project, HERE [ THE STORY SLEEPS ], premiered at The Museum of Modern Art in 2010 and continues to tour internationally. King's previous work includes the feature film DUTCH HARBOR: WHERE THE SEA BREAKS ITS BACK (co-directed with photographer Laura Moya), the short film HOME MOVIE and music videos for Sparklehorse, Sonic Youth, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (Will Oldham) and Dirty Three.
