Barney Rosset Doc

“Barney’s Wall,” a new documentary about Barney Rosset, the Grove Press and Evergreen Review publisher who successfully waged battles against censorship and introduced to American readers such writers as Harold Pinter, Samuel Beckett, and Jean Genet, will be shown at Guild Hall next Thursday at 8 p.m. 

The film’s title refers to a 12-by-15-foot three-dimensional mural Rosset constructed on a wall of his East Village loft while in his late 80s. That creation offers a way into the psyche of a legendary figure who did nothing less than shatter America’s sexual taboos and revolutionize its cultural landscape. 

Tickets are $15, $13 for museum members.
