The film diaries of Jonas Mekas, 1970-1999, shot on jittery, mellow 16mm color-reversal stock. Footage of daily life, fragments of happiness and beauty, trips to France, Italy, Spain, Austria. Seasons of the year as they pass through New York. A celebration of life, nature, friendships, feelings.
Avant-garde pioneer Jonas Mekas’ epic film diary is a towering monument to intimacy, memory, and art making. Through animated handheld camerawork and in-camera editing, Mekas warmly captures a cohort of artist friends (Warhol! Brakhage! Paik! Ginsberg!), and brief yet exquisite moments of beauty.
