At 2pm, as part of the open house, Woodland Pattern in conjunction with the UWM Department of Film will be showing:
An eclectic soundtrack puts together Boston’s grandfather of punk rock Willie “Loco” Alexander with Black Mountain avant-garde composer Stephan Wolpe along with a little banjo picking from Pete Seeger. Polis is This wrestles with the six foot, eight inch 275lb colossus of poetry. Charles Olson, in the squared circle of understanding. Through never before seen footage and interviews actor John Malkovich leads an all-star unit in a search and explore mission. Olson, the 'big fire source' for a restless generation of poets known as The Beats stands more revealed than ever before. Through Ferrini's poetry-in-motion lens, viewers can now see Olson's landscapes through the fresh eyes of America's Archaeologist of Morning. -- 'Sublime...simply stunning' says Author Jim Harrison. -- 'An invaluable contribution to our literature' notes Russell Banks. Charles Olson the 'original aboriginal' fights to save his town from so-called progress as the bulldozer of change rumbles down Main Street USA. His challenge to us? We must either rediscover the earth or leave it. Have we all become estranged from that which is most familiar? See Polis is This before the cultural wetlands are completely drained and maybe you can save the place where you live. "The best film about an American poet ever made"presented by Woodland Pattern Book Center and the UWM Department of Film. see: http://www.polisisthis.com/ for more information. |
