THE SOURCE
October 16, 2022 @ 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Sunday, Oct 16 at 3pm • Free Screening at the Monroe County Public Library
The Source 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. Several actors (including Johnny Depp) provide dramatic interpretations of their work. The Beat 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.
