SUMMARY:Nova '78
DESCRIPTION:Aaron Brookner returns to Lawrence for the Kansas premiere of the film Nova ’78 followed by a filmmaker Q&A with Aaron Brookner moderated by photographer Philip Heying! This event is made possible by support from Tom Harper of Stephens Real Estate. \nRun Time: 1 hr 18 min \nABOUT THE FILM\nNova ’78\, directed by Aaron Brookner and Rodrigo Areias from a restored archive by Howard Brookner\, is an electrifying journey into the heart of 1970s counter-culture\, built around never-before-seen footage from the legendary Nova Convention. This explosive three-day event in New York City celebrated William S. Burroughs’ return to America after living for over twenty years in Latin America\, North Africa\, Paris\, and London. It brought together icons such as Patti Smith\, Frank Zappa\, Laurie Anderson\, Philip Glass\, Allen Ginsberg\, Merce Cunningham\, John Cage\, and many more. A cultural time capsule on the enduring power of creative freedom\, the footage captures backstage moments\, candid encounters\, and raw performances at the heart of the downtown scene.
