A Documentary Film by Ward Serrill
To join the upcoming WORLD ONLINE PREMIERE- SEPTEMBER 20-29 visit watch.showandt...
Bill Porter, who goes by the pen name Red Pine, is a renowned translator of ancient Chinese poetry. He is a living gateway to ancient Chinese history and culture.
Dancing with the Dead tells the story of Red Pine's remarkable journey and delves deep into the art of translating ancient Chinese Zen and Taoist texts.
"Inside China, he's a source of endless fascination, because here's a Westerner who really gets it, who really understands China, who clearly loves Chinese culture, who's devoted his life to it." -Ian Johnson, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

His translations have no flavour and are little more than imitations of Gary Snyder

Hopefully this becomes available on dvd

No DVD plans yet Jim. We are doing a show in SeattleApr 21 and SF July 13th. We’ll do some online screenings where it will be available to general public. Likely the first one will be in early May. Best thing is to sign up for our newsletter, as that is primary way we’ll let folks know about it.

utterly delighted and always inspired
with all Bill does and does not do
or Wu Wei shares
nodding with ancestors
and eternal children
gulps of beer
and a gloaming glow
dancing a stillness
of dead that flow

Thanks Daniel, that could have gone into the film. Take care...
