Julian Beck, Judith Malina - The Living Theatre May 17, 1975

I restored and released on DVD the only existing videotape of Julian Beck, Judith Malina and the Living Theatre performing "Turning the Earth - A Legacy of Cain" which I videotaped on May 17, 1975 using a B&W open reel Sony PortaPack on Pittsburgh's Northside.

Beck was a drug using sexual deviant. What you are watching here is not art but liberal nonsense. Hippies who roll around in the mud and telepathically "talk" with fern plants and who think communism is groovy.

@HH9508 Please SPARE ME! Why would I have any interest in your thoughts or opinions about anything? Why don't you go back to reading your collected works of Ann Coulter while you listen to Rush Limbaugh instead of ranting about artists and performers and literature you have no appreciation of? Just because you dislike it and the people who create it and enjoy it makes no difference at all. Julian Beck and Judith Malina and the Living Theattre will live on long after you are gone and forgotten

Why was this filmed in black and white with Portapack when 8mm and 16mm film cameras were getting full color , great fidelity results for years?

[CBHighberger]

@tulifuli The Sony Portapak was the first truly portable high quality video/sound recording system that could be operated by one person. It cost thousands of dollars less than a comparable 16mm sound film camera system that would have required at least a crew of two people. The cost of film, even Super 8mm film with magnetic stripe for sync sound at that time was daunting. With my Portapak I was able to make good quality video recordings with sound of many performances.

Julian Beck was a master actor and a gentlemen I would have loved to shake hands with. Kane scared the shit out of me too, but that was Julian at work being one of the greatest actors of this time. R.I.P Mr. Beck!!

[megatotskeletor]

He said something about"the legacy of kane", didn´t he? Poltergeist 2 is the only horror-movie that scares me. I couldn´t sleep for 2 weeks, I nearly had heart-trouble because of my fear of Kane...it won´t surprise me, if this movie/ Kane opens the door to the other side...skeleton with skin ´n psycotic sentences,yeah!"Neeew beeeginniiing!" "Cooome with meeee" brrrrr...isn´t it scarry, too that he died just after this movie?!

[paulozerati]

Congratulations man, Julian Beck as Reverend Henry Kane of Poltergeist II, is such a classic acting of him, Im happy to see this right now, Im 30 years old, and when I was 5, I saw Poltergeist II, and I still remember the evil Kane,and no doubt, he is a fucking awesome actor,he is the soul of Poltergeist.
