Through a series of in-depth interviews, essays and explorations, Naked Lens examines the relationship between Beat authors and film. Exploring the filmmakers whose work embraced the freedom of the Beat scene and shared with it the desire to create a free, authentic, spontaneous and revolutionary cinema, Naked Lens includes filmmakers Robert Frank, Alfred Leslie, Ron Rice, Peter Whitehead, Jack Smith, Harry Smith, Jonas Mekas, Conrad Rooks and John Cassavettes. Naked Lens also examines the radical cinematic collaborations of William Burroughs, Brion Gysin and Antony Balch. Described as inspirational and visionary, Naked Lens remains the definitive work on Beat cinema. Book jacket.
