Film | Documentary: Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton (2014)

Wednesday, June 18, 2014, 6:00 pm

Free

James Broughton is the most famous, inspiring, and interesting poet you might never have heard of. Born in Modesto, California in 1913, Broughton lived in San Francisco most of his life, made 23 wildly different experimental films and wrote 23 books, mostly poetry. He received a special award for poetic cinema from Jean Cocteau in the 1950’s, made the quintessential hippie film, “The Bed,” in the 1960’s, and became a bard of Gay Liberation in the 1970’s and 80’s.
83 min.

There will be a reception before the screening from 6-7pm with an opportunity to view some of Broughton’s own films. Special guest Justin Vivian Bond will have a discussion of the film with Jon Gartenberg, Robert Haller, and Jim Hubbard.
