News Rare Burroughs films celebrate Naked Lunch at Eyedrum
Posted by Wyatt Williams @wyatt_williams on Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 6:19 PM
One of Atlanta's best cinema series, Film Love, will continue a winning streak on Friday with Minutes to Go, a night of rare ilms and ephemera from William S Burroughs and Brion Gysin. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Naked Lunch, perhaps Burroughs' best-loved transgressive cut-up novel, Minutes to Go will
[explore] the surprisingly wide range of artistic experiments undertaken by Burroughs and Gysin during their Paris stay. Rare books and other items from the Danowski Collection at Emory University’s Manuscripts, Archives, and Rare Books Library will be on view. Also featured are the short films The Cut-Ups and Towers Open Fire, two collaborations between Burroughs, Gysin, and filmmaker Antony Balch which encapsulate on film the cut-up technique and its powerful, hallucinatory effects.
Check Eyedrum for more details.
