In honor of National Poetry Month we screen documentaries about Allen Ginsberg and Diane Di Prima, renowned Beat poets who lived and worked in San Francisco.

The Poetry Deal: A Portrait of Poet Diane di Prima

The Poetry Deal opens a window looking back through more than 50 years of poetry, activism, and cultural change, providing a unique women’s perspective of the Beat movement. This impressionistic documentary presents the legendary poet Diane di Prima, the most famous female poet of the Beat Generation. Actively writing in San Francisco where she was Poet Laureate, di Prima was fierce, funny and philosophical. She was a pioneer who broke boundaries of class and gender to publish her writing; her friend Allen Ginsberg called her “heroic in life and poetics.”

Director: Melanie La Rosa

The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg

Visionary, radical, spiritual seeker, renowned poet, founding member of a major literary movement, champion of human rights, Buddhist, political activist and teacher – Allen Ginsberg’s remarkable life shaped the very soul of American counterculture. For 25 years, Academy Award-nominated director Jerry Aronson accumulated more than 60 hours of film on Allen Ginsberg, resulting in this comprehensive portrait of one of America’s greatest poets, author of Howl and other groundbreaking poems. Restored from the original 1994 release.

Director: Jerry Aronson
