Local Filmmakers’ Showcase: The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg

Directed by Jerry Aronson (2007). Visionary, radical, spiritual seeker, renowned poet, founding member of a major literary movement, champion of human rights, Buddhist, political activist, and teacher—throughout his remarkable life Allen Ginsberg challenged the very soul of America.  For 25 years, Academy Award nominated director Jerry Aronson accumulated more than 120 hours of film on Ginsberg to produce this portrait of the author of Howl and other ground-breaking poems. (84 min.)  Aronson introduces the film, and presents 20 minutes of previously unseen footage.
