Aurora Picture Show is a non-profit media arts center that presents artist-made, non-commercial film, video, and multidisciplinary works. It is dedicated to expanding the cinematic experience and promoting the understanding and appreciation of moving image art. Aurora has distinguished itself as a home for vanguard work that falls outside of conventional moviemaking and traditionally has fewer exhibition outlets. It’s screenings are known for being memorable and not-to-be-missed as they are not often repeated and are difficult to duplicate.
