Join us for a screening of three movies representing the beat generation:

Subterranean Homesick Blues - A song by Bob Dyan recorded on January 14, 1965. It is ranked 187th on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.

Pull My Daisy - 26 minutes in duration is a an American short film directed by Robert Frank and Alfred Leslie and adapted by Jack Kerouac from the third act of his play Beat Generation.

Ferlingetti: A Rebirth of Wonder - 73 minutes in duration. In this definitive documentary, director Christopher Felver crafts an incisive, sharply wrought portrait that reveals Ferlinghetti's true role as a catalyst for numerous literary careers and for the Beat movement itself. One-on-one interviews with Ferlinghetti, made over the course of a decade, touch upon a rich mélange of characters and events that began to unfold in postwar America. These events include the publication of Allen Ginsberg's Howl, William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch, and Jack Kerouac's On the Road, as well as the divisive events of the Vietnam war, the sexual revolution, and this country's perilous march towards intellectual and political bankruptcy.
