One of Hollywood director Taylor Hackford’s first film projects was as producer of a documentary on Charles Bukowski, simply titled “Bukowski”. Filmed in 1973, the full 46-minute documentary includes interviews and lots of film showing Bukowski interacting with people in his neighborhood and later a trip to San Francisco for a reading for City Lights Books.

On Sunday November 25, 1973, Los Angeles public television station KCET broadcasted a heavily edited 28-minute version of the film’s footage with alternate scenes and a rearranged structure on their show, Artbound.

This is a rare promotional poster for the broadcast.  It features a period photograph of Bukowski standing outside a bar. It measures approximately 11” x 17” and is printed on heavy stock.

This copy has been folded once horizontally, but it’s not as noticeable as you’d think. There are some foxing spots and a little browning around the edges. There are bumps to the edges and some miniscule tears around the edges.
