One More Step West is the Sea: Ruth Weiss (2021)

From Berlin and Vienna in the 1930s; from New York to Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles and San Francisco in the 1950s '60s and '70s; one of the great women Beat poets, ruth weiss, has written, performed, painted, and filmed the fact that for her, 'one more step west is the sea...' Thomas Antonic traces her pioneering art and her world without boundaries. In her 90s, her life is a grand collage that transcends the Beat. She is the cosmic refugee among the ecstatic memories of counter-culture.
