OUTRIDER

With Anne Waldman. Producer: Sarah Riggs; Executive Producer: Martin Scorsese.

Poet/filmmaker Alystyre Julian’s OUTRIDER is a kinetic portal into fast-speaking poet Anne Waldman’s transcendent role as a visionary word-worker, from her “hearthome” in Greenwich Village and The Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church, to the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, and outwards to Big Sur, Morocco, and Mexico. OUTRIDER is a portal to her path of imagination, her vow to poetry and activism, and her vortex of artists/collaborators: Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, Thurston Moore, Meredith Monk, Allen Ginsberg, Laurie Anderson, Douglas Dunn, Eileen Myles, Amiri Baraka, James Brandon Lewis, Cecilia Vicuña, Pat Steir, Ha-Yang Kim, Daniel Carter, Eleni Sikelianos, Bob Holman, Janice Lowe, No Land, Akilah Oliver, Lee Ann Brown, Brenda Coultas, and many others. Guided by ancestors of the Beat generation and poetic kinships with radical female musicians, OUTRIDER channels the ancient, bardic tradition – celebrating the thunderous power of poetry.

Preceded by: Richard Levine AFTER BASHŌ 2026, 8 min, DCP Twenty haikus by Bob Holman – written while he was following “A Narrow Path Into the Interior,” the walk that Japan’s National Poet, Matsuo Bashō, took in 1689 – are the starting point of this animated collaboration by filmmaker Richard Levine, musician Phillip Johnston, and poet Bob Holman. The poems originally appeared in The New Yorker magazine.
