On January 22nd the first posthumous feature film about writer William S. Burroughs called “A Man Within” will debute at the Slamdance Filmfestival in Utah. The independent movie was directed by a 25-year-old Chicago based filmmaker called Yony Leyser and is going to feature “never before seen” footage of Burroughs as well as interviews with his friends and colleagues. The long list of interviewees includes John Waters, Genesis P-Orridge, Laurie Anderson, David Cronenberg, Iggy Pop, Gus Van Sant, Sonic Youth (who also did the sountrack) and others, so the whole thing sounds like a really nice project.
