Hey Scott, Do you think there is any way that we could screen an Andrew Noren program at Exploded View in Tucson? I have an understanding that Andrew was influenced by the landscape of the Chihuahua monument in SE AZ (large volcanic desert monoliths) What film could this be? Here in Tucson (close to the Chihuahua) we are operating on the fringes, but are committed to creating an alt film scene here in the AZ southwest.. We remember amazing attending screenings or Noren's work in SF in the 90's (SF Cinematheque) ... So whats possible for our venue w/ Noren now? Best, David
