    Traces the Beats from Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac’s meeting in 1944 at Columbia University to the deaths of Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs in 1997. Three actors provide dramatic interpretations of the work of these three writers, and the film chronicles their friendships, their arrival into American consciousness, their travels, frequent parodies, Kerouac’s death, and Ginsberg’s politicization. Their movement connects with bebop, John Cage’s music, abstract expressionism, and living theater. In recent interviews, Ginsberg, Burroughs, Kesey, Ferlinghetti, Mailer, Jerry Garcia, Tom Hayden, Gary Snyder, Ed Sanders, and others measure the Beats’ meaning and impact.Read More »

  • Yong-Kyun Bae – Geomeuna dange huina baekseong AKA The People in White (1995)

    1991-2000DramaSouth KoreaYong-Kyun Bae

    Quote:
    Bae Yonggyun is one of the most mysterious figures in the history of Korean cinema. He made two films on his own outside the film industry and then retreated to live largely in seclusion. This highly meditative film, deeply rooted in history and memory, is one of the highlights of New Korean Cinema. It follows a man who returns to his hometown after living overseas for many years. He roams like a sleepwalker through the bleak town, getting into conversations with people who could be dead or alive. An extraordinary ‘ghost story’ unprecedented in Korean cinema.
