William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Buckminster Fuller, Don Cherry, Yoko Ono, Charlie Haden, Robert Palmer, Jayne Cortez and John Rockwell all contributed to the film.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with video artist Wendy Clarke, founder of Milestone Films Dennis Doros and renowned film curator Larry Kardish.
Shirley Clarke's shorts, "In Paris Parks" and "Butterfly" precede the feature.
