Brilliant but largely unheralded Beat poet Bob Kaufman (1925–1986) is featured in this rich documentary tribute. Interviews, readings of Kaufman’s poems, historical footage, and experimental images blend into a unique portrait of an enigmatic artist and North Beach mainstay of the 1950s and early 1960s.
Part of the 59th San Francisco International Film Festival at the BAMPFA!
