One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur (2009)

Directed by Curt Worden

One of the founding fathers of the Beat Generation and a literary genius, Jack Keouac's life and fame are unraveled by director Curt Worden. In 1960 Kerouac retreated to the woods in an attempt to flee from his sudden fame and an alcohol-induced depression, writing Big Sur, a semi-autobiography on his beat days in San Francisco and New York. Kerouac's friends and characters from his novels, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Carolyn Cassady, Joyce Johnson and Michael McClure talk about the man and maverick who left his mark on the world.

Soul Power (2008)

Directed by Jeffrey Levy-Hinte

September 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaire one of the most important events in African/American music history took place. A three-day festival featuring the cream of the US’s soul, funk and Latin music crop, alongside some of Africa’s finest artists, it was timed to coincide with the epic boxing match between Muhammed Ali and George Foreman. The fight was the main focus of the award-winning documentary When We Were Kings, however Soul Power puts together the ‘outtakes’ from the concert, which have been locked away in the vaults for 34 years.

James Brown at the absolute peak of his career, South African singer Miriam Makeba, The Fania All-stars featuring Celia Cruz, Bill Withers, The Crusaders and B.B. King, plus the people of Kinshasa themselves, make this a festival movie to rate along with Wattstax and Woodstock. -The Soul Power pick comes from Roger C, resident DJ and promoter of The Joint Sessions.
