Director Braden King will appear in person following the 6:30 pm screening on Friday, May 11. Also appearing will be filmmaker and Bay Area avant-garde star Paul Clipson, whose work appears in the film.
Originating as a non-narrative multimedia piece presented in 2008, Braden King’s debut feature is a carefully composed romantic drama detailing the fraught relationship between Will, a satellite-mapping expert, and Gadarine, the exuberant Armenian-born photographer he meets while conducting a survey of the country. Deciding on impulse to travel together, the film details their unique journey and the dramatic personal transformations it leads each of them through. The linear story is punctuated by a variety of innovative segments that complement the more traditional narrative. With memorable performances by Ben Foster and Lubna Azabal as the couple and remarkable footage of the Armenian landscape, Here reinvents the romantic road-trip film with poetic visual and verbal flourishes.
