Film Screenings: Polis Is This and Lowell Blues: The Words of Jack Kerouac
Polis is This wrestles with the six foot eight inch 275lb colossus of poetry, Charles Olson. The film traces Olsons process of self discovery and makes it clear why Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and many other literary figures traveled to sit with the father of the post-modernism the man they called thebig fire source. (56 min.) Lowell Blues remembers the place Jack Kerouac could not forget. By fusing visual history, language and jazz into a 30-minute film poem, Lowell Blues illuminates Kerouac's childhood holy land. The film interprets how place activates the writer's imagination, and how the writer's art reshapes his city with reverence and respect. (30 min.) With filmmaker Henry Ferrini if schedule allows.
