Arts Express: Conversations With Mary Harron, Karen Kramer


** "I remember when Bob Dylan first came in. He was wearing Woody Guthrie's underwear. I'm not making this up. He had a sign on his guitar that said, This Machine Kills Fascists. And I grabbed the mike and said, here he is, a legend in his lifetime - what's your name kid?"
~~ Wavy Gravy

Renegade Dreamers: Filmmaker Karen Kramer's musical doc is an homage to three previous generations of activist musicians and poets - from the 30s, the Beats, and '60s culture - and their influences on NYC social justice spoken word artists and musicians today. While delving into the connections between the generations, and how they've spread influence and ideas when it comes to activism and protest.

Most attention is focused on the younger generation today of aspiring artists, and not only past musical influences, but the more specific struggles they face today performing, expressing themselves and their creative voices, and being heard. From poetry slams and open mics to subway platforms, basements, cafes, street demonstrations and political rallies, while illuminating the founding fathers of protest in song and word like Woody Guthrie, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Bob Dylan. A kaleidoscope of vibrant generational influences across the decades.

Documentary director Karen Kramer is on the line to the show to politically connect the four generations of musicians and poets in her film. More information is online at: renegadedreamers.com.
