Postbeat Generation Films
Launched in December 2013, The Postbeat Generation Film exhibit highlights multiple communities of writers that shared a twofold trajectory. At once, this trajectory is a result of direct poetics transmissions received by poets and writers impacted by Allen Ginsberg. Simultaneously, this trajectory engages the diverse realm of poets and writers, as well as all demotic genres of poetry that advanced human rights and dignity regardless of color, gender, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, class, religion, or disability. In this regard, the effect of the Postbeat Generation is the normalization of essential Beat values. MAP's Postbeat Film exhibit catalogs primary source films about the Postbeat Generation and its diversity; specific works in which Postbeat luminaries were central actors; mass media oriented biopics; as well as films based upon Postbeat works.
