Item Special Note

Independent filmmaker Henry Ferrini works out of the port city of Gloucester, Massachusetts. Over the last 25 years, much of his work has focused on what Jack Kerouac called, "the great continent of New England." His interest in cultural geography has taken him to working-class communities throughout the industrial Northeast unearthing material most would overlook.

Ferrini's films do not follow the conventional patterns of a biographical documentary. He employs a lyrical, impressionist approach that allows for greater exploration of the subject's philosophies, thoughts and ideas. He calls his work "film poems." This style is manifest in his most recent release, Polis is This: Charles Olson and the Persistence of Place an hour long journey through the poet and filmmaker's hometown guided by a who's who in American poetry: Amiri Baraka, Robert Creeley, Anne Waldman, Vincent Ferrini, John Sinclair, Ed Sanders and John Malkovich.
