AL NEIL - A PORTRAITby David Rimmer Video documentary by David Rimmer, 40 min. |
Award-winning documentary by David Rimmer on Al Neil, beat poet/writer, jazz musician, assemblage artist. Winner of international awards and screenings, this videotape provides a intimate up-close look at the man, his life and works. "Al Neil, the musician, poet, sculptor, and 'shaman' has been virtually an institution in West Coast art mythology. He was considered an inspiration to many artists in the sixties....the many personas of Al Neil: the private, intoxicated, and poetic man; the public performer and musician, and the family outcast. Rimmer's integration of these levels is masterful." (A.R.)
