- **Event Name**: Neon Dreams: TRUE STORIES (1986) - New Restoration! 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 22 May, 2026 at 09:30 pm
- **Event Description**: 40th Anniversary Screening! New 4K Restoration! 

 

Hop inside our Chrysler LeBaron (top down of course) and get ready to hit the road for a surreal and fantastical journey into the heart of Smalltown, USA as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of True Stories. Written, directed by, and starring Talking Heads frontman David Byrne, who describes his film as "a project with songs based on true stories from tabloid newspapers. It's like 60 Minutes on acid.”

 

As an outsider looking in, Byrne has always been obsessed with the mundanities of small town American life. Taking cues from Errol Morris’s exploration on oddball American culture in Vernon, Florida, True Stories delves into the inner lives and outer quirks of residents from the fictional town of Virgil, TX. An unlucky-in-love country-western-singing clean room technician (John Goodman), a civic leader (Spalding Gary) who hasn’t spoken to his wife in decades, and a woman (Swoosie Kurtz) who, for no good reason, hasn’t gotten out of bed in years are all brought together by “The Narrator” David Byrne for the town’s celebration of “150 Years of Specialness”.

 

Bursting with outrageous musical numbers, delicate and heartfelt performances, and stunning, postcard-esque cinematography by Edward Lachman (Less Than Zero, Far From Heaven), True Stories is an absolute trip in more ways than one that is guaranteed to boost your serotonin levels and send you home smiling from ear to ear.

 

This screening and others are made possible thanks to our wonderful sponsor Hollywood Suite.
