Frequently asked questions

What is The Beat Hotel about? Toggle content

The Beat Hotel takes viewers on a journey through the vibrant and rebellious world of the American Beat generation in 1950s Paris. Fleeing obscenity trials back home, poets Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso, along with Peter Orlovsky and others, found refuge in a humble hotel at 9 Rue Git le Coeur in the heart of Paris's Latin Quarter. There, they discovered a freedom that inspired some of their most iconic works and shaped the course of literature and art for years to come. Through rare archival footage and intimate interviews, director Alan Govenar offers a unique glimpse into the lives of these celebrated artists and the era they defined.
