CAARI Movie Night

Thank you for attending our first CAARI movie night! Professor Richard Weiner ('76, '79 GSAS) provided a wonderful introduction to the movie "Kill Your Darlings" which chronicled Allen Ginsberg's first year at Columbia University. We hoped you enjoyed the movie, good company and delicious popcorn! It was wonderful to see new and familiar faces, and we look forward to seeing you all again at our future CAARI events! (More photos after the jump.)

Thank you for attending our first CAARI movie night! Professor Richard Weiner ('76, '79 GSAS) provided a wonderful introduction to the movie "Kill Your Darlings" (2013) starring Daniel Radcliffe. The film chronicles acclaimed Beat Generation writer and American poet Allen Ginsberg during his first year at Columbia, and a 1944 murder linking him to fellow beat poets Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, and Lucien Carr. We hoped you enjoyed the movie, good company and delicious popcorn! It was wonderful to see new and familiar faces, and we look forward to seeing you all again at our future CAARI events!

Pre-movie social!
