Poetry in Motion
Ron Mann
Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs
More than 20 contemporary North American poets recite, sing, and perform their work. Early in the film, Charles Bukowski talks about the energy of poets and of a poem. These poets are the children of Walt Whitman and of Charles Olson, incantatory and oratorical, radical, sometimes incorporating contemporary political imagery. Black Mountain poets, the Beats, minimalists like John Cage, the wordless Four Horsemen, Tom Waits, and others capture aspects of poets as troubadours.

The Clinton Special: A Film About the Farm Show
Michael Ondaatje
Michael Ondaatje chronicles a group of actors who, in 1972, went into an Ontario farming community to build a play of what they saw and learned.
