 William Burroughs was undoubtedly one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Amongst those who cite him as an influence are Clive Barker, Patti Smith, R.E.M., U2, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, Cabaret Voltaire and the late Kurt Cobain, many of whom he collaborated with. His extensive literary legacy is constantly reprinted as each new generation study the man who influenced modern contemporary literature more than any other writer. His readings are legendary. The Final Academy Documents DVD contains a rare glimpse of the man himself appearing in public with some stunning readings from his work at Manchester's famous Hacienda club. Its very limited release on video in the 1980s makes this DVD even more collectable. Also featured on this DVD are some wonderful examples of Burroughs' work as an experimental film artist. 'Ghosts At Number 9' and 'Towers Open Fire' are two classic examples of Burroughs' film work with the likes of Anthony Balch and Brion Gysin. NTSC version, region free. |
