On the Road – On the Trail of Jack Kerouac

In 1951- 60 years ago - Jack Kerouac wrote 'On The Road'. The novel tells the story of Jack Kerouac's travels across the America of the late forties, always searching for freedom, for himself, for drugs, sex and the next great adventure. 'On The Road' lies at the core of pop culture. This book is the key to everything that followed. We want the 60th anniversary of its orginal publication to be the moment we take a closer look at it, as well: Four young people got the opportunity to get into an old convertible and drive that car straight across America on Jack Kerouac's route. How will these modern young people experience a trip through modern America with 'On The Road' shining in the background? The result: a road movie, a collage of original locations, poetry slams, cinema verite, jam sessions, and new adventures on the road, with music by Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Gotye, Scott McKenzie, REM, Morcheeba, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, John Coltrane and Don McLean, amongst others.
