Sufjan Stevens: The BQE

January 08 - January 08,2010

Aurora Picture Show and the MFAH collaborate to present a screening of the film The BQE by singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens. "An orchestral homage to the architecture of the NYC boroughs and the imposing Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, Sufjan Stevens and Reuben Kleiner filmed The BQE on do-it-yourself 16mm film cameras. With animated footage of gridlock and the perpetual motion of choreography, the Koyaanisqatsi-style production utilizes time-lapse photography, in-camera editing, slow motion, and post-production mirror effects to transform the urban blight of traffic into a splendor of graphic compositions."
