Screening as part of a/perture’s Summer Music Festival, sponsored by Blanco Tackabery.

A small but growing Texas town, filled with strange and musical characters, celebrates its sesquicentennial and converge on a local parade and talent show. The debut, and to date only feature film directed by Talking Heads frontman David Byrne

“But this is not a musical. It’s a bold attempt to paint a bizarre American landscape. This movie does what some painters try to do: It recasts ordinary images into strange new shapes. There is hardly a moment in “True Stories” that doesn’t seem everyday to anyone who has grown up in Middle America, and not a moment that doesn’t seem haunted with secrets, evasions, loneliness, depravity or hidden joy – sometimes all at once.” ~ Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
