posted by The Joe
The Walker Art Center has announced their September & October line-up, which includes an Olivier Assayas series, focus on Allen Ginsberg, and an Alec Soth documentary to go along with their From Here To There: Alec Soth’s America exhibition.
08.31 – 10.10 – The Life & Times of Alan Ginsberg
Winner of the International Documentary Award’s top prize, this film goes beyond Ginsberg’s poetry to uncover an American cultural icon who championed human right, challenged political and social thought, and influenced culture for more than 60 years.
09.12 – Somewhere to Disappear
This documentary follows Alec Soth as he journeys through America in search of hermits, survivalists, and others seeking a retreat from civilization for his latest series of photographs. Introduced by the filmmakers.
09.15 – Charles Atlas’ Ocean
In September 2008, Merce Cunningham staged Ocean, one of the most ambitious works of his legendary 60-year career, within a massive Minnesota granite quarry. Renowned filmmaker and longtime Cunningham collaborator Charles Atlas was there, using five cameras to document this uniquely epic production.
09.30 - Howl
Allen Ginsberg biopic, preceding its Minneapolis run on October 15. Introduced by directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.
Olivier Assayas: Between Love & Terror
