Presented in person by filmmaker Bob Clem, "Eugene Walter: Last of the Bohemians" documents the life and career of an Alabama-born writer, poet, actor, artist and raconteur whose work celebrates the art of living and personifies the culture of the coastal South. Living in Paris and Rome, Walter (1921-1998) lent his unique personality and wide-ranging talent to a number of different endeavors, many of them at the heart of the postwar artistic renaissance in Europe — winning numerous awards for his poetry and fiction, helping start the Paris Review, working with and acting in the films of Federico Fellini and other Italian directors, editing the polylingual literary magazine Botteghe Oscure and meeting and entertaining many of the most famous writers and cultural figures of his time. Post Q&A with filmmaker.
Princess Theatre, Fri April 26 at 7PM. $5.
