Aurora Picture Show
Share
Aurora Picture Show is a Houston-based organization dedicated to expanding the cinematic experience and promoting the appreciation of moving image art.
Aurora presents film screenings, live cinema performances, installations, and youth workshops. Aurora has distinguished itself as a home for vanguard work that falls outside of conventional moviemaking and traditionally has fewer exhibition outlets. Our screenings are known for being memorable and not-to-be-missed as they are not often repeated and are difficult to duplicate. We hope that you will consider becoming a member and joining us for a screening soon!

Thanks to all artists, organizers, and audience who were a part of a special night at Aurora on Sunday, featuring the Houston premiere of Heiny Srour's 1984 film Leila and the Wolves as well as performances, open discussion, and reception. Good, important, and complex reverberations! We're very happy to have collaborated with HTX Made Presents, Zaytounat, the Falasteen Arts Festival and Jackson Allers/Ice House Radio.
