NOVA ´78
Screening + Special live event
(USA 2025)
With William S. Burroughs Patti Smith, Frank Zappa, Laurie Anderson, Allen Ginsberg, Philip Glass, John Cage
A documentary resurrecting the 1978 Nova Convention in New York’s East Village, exploring the counter-culture clash between the Beat generation’s avant-garde philosophy and punk’s nihilistic energy, and celebrating a legendary gathering of art, music, and rebellion.
Centered around the revolutionary writer William S. Burroughs, the documentary assembles long-lost, newly restored 16mm footage originally shot by Aaron Brookner’s late uncle, filmmaker Howard Brookner, whose crew consisted of his NYU classmates Tom DiCillo (camera) and Jim Jarmusch (sound). The film immerses viewers in the collision of poetry, live music, performance art, and philosophy that defined the era, featuring a who’s who of late-70s avant-garde culture, including Patti Smith, Frank Zappa, Laurie Anderson, Allen Ginsberg, Philip Glass, and John Cage.
(78 min. English with Hebrew subtitles)
Following the screening, the stage will be given to our very own Beatniks: Sharon Kantor will curate and participate in a local tribute to that legendary New York conference. Selected fragments from the counterculture and avant-garde of Israel 2026, featuring Efrat Mishori, Roman Eisenberg, Alon Rejwan, Maya Dunietz,Yonatan Geron and Ilan Peled.
