Outrider: Take the Whole Ride (with Filmmaker Alystyre Julian)

Alystyre Julian’s Outrider is the first feature-length cine-kinetic portrait of Grammy-nominated, epic poet, performer, and activist Anne Waldman. Outrider collaborates with Waldman as a person woven of poetry, an inimitable creative and social force dedicated to the propulsion of the artistic imagination and the generative collaborations which form in its wake. The film moves within Waldman’s artistic circles and poetic vortex, to include Patti Smith, Meredith Monk, Bob Dylan, Laurie Anderson, Thurston Moore, Pat Steir, Fast Speaking Music and others. Outrider celebrates Waldman’s visionary energy and transcendent presence, as she channels through the ancient, bardic tradition–the thunderous power of poetry.
