The film recounts the genesis of the poem in prose Howl (Howl) of Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) and the judicial process that was done in San Francisco (United States) in 1957 text to be considered obscene. Jeffrey Friedman, said that "the poem speaks of course, homosexuality, sexual repression, but more than that, it also speaks of dehumanization, consumerism, militarization of the culture war continues in the United States, "and Rob Epstein adds that" the poem was censored, it could be read on the radio, because it contains words deemed obscene. The trial helped to make it known. We hear about it at the time we were in school, but only came to discover its dimensions to work on the project. " "The interesting thing for us was going into the mechanisms of creation of Ginsberg in his poem, which combines the language of daily life with poetic. His images have to do with the madness of his mother, with her own sexual life frustrating, but also with politics, with jazz, with their relationships. Poem was a revolutionary, innovative, iconoclastic, and in many ways still is, "says Friedman.
Synopsis: In 1957, a masterpiece of American literature rocked an entire generation and led to the birth of the Counterculture. The work considered obscene by the most reactionary sectors of society, was brought to trial in San Francisco. Everything revolves around the young writer Alan Ginsberg, the young defense attorney Jake Ehrlich, a famous champion of civil and tax Ralp McIntosh, trying to show that the work is obscene at the same time striving to understand it. The representation of the trial is a narrative in which the young Ginsberg reflects on the creative process of his work and personal liberation struggle and had to live. The poem is a vibrant entertainment, an imaginary journey through the mind of an artist.

Film Series "Contemporary Taiwanese Cinema" Film in the Classroom
Tomorrow begins the cycle with the Cinema Hall of the University of Zaragoza concludes its 2010-2011 season programming. Dismiss the course with a new look at the current Asian cinema, this time Taiwanese fruit of collaboration with the Economic Office in Taipei. It thus includes an offer to the Campus of Huesca, where the proposal will begin the next day 11, which the public has long enjoyed Zaragoza. Javier Ching Shan Hou, the Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei, presents the cycle :
"To celebrate this year's centenary of the founding of the Republic China, Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei, Taiwan's representation in Spain, is organizing a series of cultural activities that are aimed to raise awareness in Spain's history and development of this country, from its beginnings to become what now known as Taiwan, whose official name remains, however, the Republic of China.
If there is an artistic activity that is able to reflect to perfection in a pleasant, simple and reliable historical reality of a country that is definitely the cinematography. Therefore, among the celebrations of this anniversary we have chosen our prominently by the projection representative of the best movies Taiwanese cinema, an initiative of the programming that emerges from this cycle of films that we are pleased to present thanks to the interest and collaboration of the University of Zaragoza.
obvious and striking parallels in the historical development of the Republic of China in recent years, Taiwan's cinema has also seen a miraculous evolution, most especially from the eighties. Coinciding with the spectacular economic development of the island in this decade, known as the "miracle of Taiwan," Taiwanese cinema lives a golden decade and miraculous known here as "new wave of Taiwanese cinema." Many excellent works already started to highlight the major international festivals around the world. Soon, awards and distinctions for Taiwanese cinema flourish in Berlin, Cannes, Venice, etc. and also at festivals in Spain, for directors such as Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Edward Yang, among others .
Historically, the nineties were the decade of democratic consolidation in the Republic of China, a process that had its climax with the celebration in 1996 of free and direct presidential elections. That same decade marked the consecration and international recognition those same managers who had started out in the eighties, who now are joined by others such as Tsai Ming-liang and Oscar winner Ang Lee, forming a "second new wave of Taiwanese cinema."
Away from the commercial "Kung-fu film," more typical of other Asian film industries, the new Taiwan cinema belies the different perspectives and personal views of its creators with the obvious transformation experienced in Taiwanese society and the continuing search for a new identity, to conflicts arising from the attempt to balance the assumption of the rural past to adaptation to this hopelessly urban front the violent encounter of traditional values \u200b\u200bas inevitable as the powerful emergence of an increasingly globalized culture. Features
these that ultimately emerge more or less explicit in various arguments such as in the case of our selected films, the innocent eyes of a child (Orz Boy!), The different stories of love experienced in very different times (times of love, youth and freedom, Cape No. 7), the inevitable cultural clash between East and West (Yang Yang), the personification of a story that eventually become real story (The Shoe Fairy ), the loss of childhood innocence and the difficulties the transition to adulthood (Our island, our dreams) or the different human reactions to a war from both sides of the battle (Blue Brave).
In order to provide a fuller picture of Taiwanese society, we have seen fit to include in the cycle a short documentary shows, opting for two short original offer us a review of two activities very present in both the society today as in years ago: the cultivation of tea as a "golden treasure of Taiwan" and understand the culture of rice as "food from heaven." These are documents that reflect the most perfect cultural value, not just dining, the cultivation and consumption of both products carry a society like Taiwan.
The Republic of China lives today, one hundred years after its founding, a vibrant period of splendor that is reflected in all areas of society and that his film can not be employed. What better way then to celebrate the hundred years that a sample of your film as presented here? Acomodémonos in our seats to hear and share the reality of a centuries-old transformation. To all you ladies and gentlemen, today's Republic of China or, what comes to be the same, the new Taiwan's image. "
