Short
Synopsis
Vincent P. Falk is Fashion Man. Clad in
brightly colored
suits; Vincent twirls on Chicago’s many bridges, performing
fashion shows for
passing tour boats. As he spins his way through the city,
tourists and locals
alike are left to wonder just who this strange man could be.
Over the course of
one boat season, we follow Vincent and begin to unravel the
mystery that
surrounds him. We discover that the man behind the fashion,
having come through
the travails of life, has decided to do what makes him happy.
And so, he
spins on.

Running
time
84 minutes
Composed
from
court records, interviews, and HOWL by Allen Ginsberg.
Animation
inspired
by ILLUMINATED POEMS by Allen Ginsberg and Eric Drooker.
James
Franco
stars as the young Allen Ginsberg—poet, counter-culture
adventurer, and
chronicler of the Beat Generation. In his famously confessional,
leave-nothing-out style, Ginsberg recounts the road trips, love
affairs, and
search for personal liberation that led to the most timeless and
electrifying
work of his career: the poem HOWL.
Meanwhile,
in
a San Francisco courtroom, HOWL is on trial. Prosecutor Ralph
McIntosh
(David Strathairn) sets out to prove that the book should be
banned, while
suave defense attorney Jake Ehrlich (Jon Hamm) argues fervently
for freedom of
speech and creative expression.
The
proceedings veer from the comically absurd to the passionate as
a host of
unusual witnesses (Jeff Daniels, Mary-Louise Parker, Treat
Williams, Alessandro
Nivola) pit generation against generation and art against fear
in front of
conservative Judge Clayton Horn (Bob Balaban).
HOWL
is simultaneously a portrait of a renegade artist breaking down
barriers to
find love and redemption, and an imaginative ride through a
prophetic
masterpiece that rocked a generation and was heard around the
world.
“HOWL
takes
a celebrated piece of writing and makes it come alive.”
-
A.O. Scott, New York Times
FIVE
STARS: ”Undeniably brave,
committed and inventive.”
-
Michael Ordoña, Los Angeles Times
“A
great film. Franco disappears into Ginsberg’s sexy earthiness.”
-
Jennie Yabroff, Newsweek
“Moments
of
soaring brilliance, with an elegant performance by Franco as
Ginsberg that
should redefine his career.”
-
Betsy
Sharkey, Los Angeles Time

“SUCH
A
DEAL MONDAY SCREENING-“Dance For Camera-CONDER/dance”-$3.00
Monday
4/11-8pm
One show only
CONDER/dance
curates a
full evening of short dance films created by local, national and
international
filmmakers. These short experimental dance pieces are created
specifically for the camera, independent from the traditional
stage.
Interpretations can range from narratives to collages of music,
movement and images,
sometimes including the use of animation and other new media.
Dancers
and filmmakers
have worked together since the invention of the motion picture,
but the dance
film genre has exploded in recent years as digital technologies
became more
accessible to independent choreographers. This is an impressive
program of
locally-made and imported works. The sheer number of
perspectives that these
dance/film artists bring to their work will be surprising and
inspiring.
