Media Archeology Then & Now
A Members-Only Happy Hour

As part of the benefit to becoming an Aurora Picture Show member, we host members-only events throughout the year. Members are invited to join us for a casual evening of conversation and looking at examples of work from past Media Archeology festivals.  Media Archeology, now in its tenth year, has featured a wide array of established filmmakers artists and curators. The first year of Media Archeology was focused on 16mm collections by film aficionados such as Rick Prelinger of Prelinger Archives and Skip Elsheimer of AV Geeks. Over the years it evolved into a festival of live cinema performance with artists such as Tara Mateik, Brent Green and Luke Savisky. Advance RSVPs are kindly requested. If not already a member, individuals are encouraged to join online.

On the 10th anniversary of Media Archeology, a festival that showcases artists who use media to create live multidisciplinary events and performances, Aurora Picture Show welcomes Steve Dietz, Founder, President, and Artistic Director of Northern Lights.mn, as Curator of Media Archeology 2014. In The Beginning will feature three nights of performances that look to the deep time of pre-history to create compelling experiences of how the world was formed and how the world of our ideas is shaped. Artists include Miwa Matrayek (April 9), Lynette Wallworth and Piotr Syzhalski.
