A special screening of “The Practice of the Wild” [San Simeon Films 2009, 53 min.] with filmmaker John J. Healey will take place at Images Cinema. The film is a conversation with poet Gary Synder and author Jim Harrison. Snyder is beat generation guru to Alan Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac and he is frequently hailed as America’s “poet laureate of Deep Ecology. “Director John J. Healey skillfully intertwines the many fascinating aspects of Snyder’s journey through nature and across the page, sagely pairing the poet with his cantankerous compadre and fellow scribe Jim Harrison. Together, the two old friends roam the verdant hills of the central California coast, musing eloquently and with hard-won wisdom and earthy humor on Bay Area bohemia, Zen Buddhism and the morally charged interdependence of all living things.”(Steven Jenkins, SF International Film Festival, 2010) Admission is free and open to the public.
