Free Screening of Documentary Film ‘Earl.’ at Carnegie Hall

Folowing a hugely successful screening and discussion of the documentary film Earl. at Beckett and Justice, this year’s Samuel Beckett Society’s annual conference in Cal State Los Angeles in June, the movie’s director Ty Kim has shared an invite for all to attend a screening at New York City’s Carnegie Hall on October 1.

Telling the lifestory of the American composer Earl Kim (1920-1998) the documentary will be of particular interest to Beckettians. In 1965, Kim and his wife visited Samuel Beckett at the writer’s residence in Paris. Becket granted Kim permission to set the writer’s text to the composer’s music, resulting in a startling, fresh, innovative and daring form including chamber music, song, the spoken word, dance, and even film.

The film is directed by the Emmy award winning director Ty Kim who worked with Mike Wallace and Ed Bradley at the television news magazine “60 Minutes”.

The screening will take place at the Weill Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall, New York at 7:30 PM on 1 October. Attendance is free of charge but registration is essential at this link.
