Film Night: GOING FURTHUR
Description
The Movement Lives On!
A Riotous and Historic Prankster Ride
Fifty years after the iconic first Trip, Ken Kesey’s son Zane took the Furthur Bus - and his father’s legacy - back on the road, for its longest running tour in history.
Going Furthur is an on-the-ground account of how Ken Kesey, the pranksters and the acid tests helped to generate a non-conformist society of free thinkers, artists and altruists who are now pushing the evolutionary envelope of human potential.
Armed with a new band of Merry Pranksters, the Furthur bus traveled over 15,000 miles in 75 days, riding into music festivals, community events, tribal gatherings and national landmarks, reestablishing itself as a symbol of radical self-expression and cultural revolution all across the country.
Through archive footage as well as over 400 hours of film, the film explores the roots of a culture birthed in the early sixties, and how the mission of those first few idealists have influenced a new generation.
After the film, we’ll have a Q&A with filmmaker and “psychonaut” Lindsay Kent and current owner of Kesey's house in La Honda, Terry Adams.
