Fully Awake is a documentary in progress about Black Mountain College, directed by Cathryn Davis. Little known but extremely influential, BMC was a democratic, multidisciplinary institution which has been home to the likes of John Cage, Buckminster Fuller, Josef Albers, Robert Rauschenberg and Allen Ginsberg. Bucky built his first dome there in 1948, and Cage began exploring 'found-sounds' in the early 1950s at BMC. More info on Black Mountain College at American Masters.
