alystyre julian’s outrider is the first feature-length portrait of grammy-nominated, epic poet, performer, and activist anne waldman. in immersive jaunts of collaboration, the film follows waldman and her century-crossing lineage of artistic and generative practices. guided by poetic kinships of the beat generation and with radical female musicians, waldman has spent decades generating close communities of kindred spirits, from the downtown new york scene and the founding of the dynamic poetry project at st. mark’s church; to the naropa university’s jack kerouac school of disembodied poetics; to gatherings in big sur, mexico city, morocco, and beyond.
through performances, song, and conversation, 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 practices 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, kiki smith, pat steir, fast speaking music, and others. as a visionary word-worker and transcendent presence, outrider celebrates waldman as she channels through the ancient, bardic tradition the thunderous power of poetry.
