HE STANDS IN A DESERT COUNTING THE SECONDS OF HIS LIFE (1969-1958) 150’
Description
"The film is made up of 124 short sketches, ranging in length from 30 seconds to two minutes. They are portraits of people with whom I've spent time, of places, of seasons, of storms and snowstorms, of filmmaker friends and the streets and parks of New York — brief escapes into nature, outside the city — nothing spectacular... Celebrations of life fleeing even as it is captured, held only in these brief, personal sketches." — Jonas Mekas
