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.
In addition to this screening, King will also host a screening of HERE [THE FILM], as well as an installation of some of his short films and music videos. For more information on the installation, click here.
