The first part is made up of footage I shot with my first Bolex during my early years in America, mainly between 1950 and 1953. It shows my brother Adolfas and me, what we looked like at the time; various sequences of immigrants in Brooklyn, picnicking, dancing, singing; the streets of Williamsburg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"text-align: start; ; white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe second part was shot in August 1971, in Lithuania. Almost all the sequences come from Semeniskiai, the village where I was born. We see the old house, my mother (born in 1887), all the brothers, having fun, celebrating our return home. We don't really see today's Lithuania: we only see it through the memories of a displaced person returning home for the first time in twenty-five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"text-align: start; ; white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe third part begins with a parenthesis in Elmshorn, in the suburbs of Hamburg, where we spent a year in a forced labor camp during the war. After the parenthesis closes, we are in Vienna where we see some of my best friends - Peter Kubelka, Hermann Nitsch, Annette Michelson, Ken Jacobs. The film ends with the fire at the Vienna fruit market in August 1971.\"\u003cbr\u003e— Jonas Mekas\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonas Mekas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56788907000139,"sku":"SQ1447672","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/3034\/9643\/files\/processed_DVD--Reminiscences_of_a_Journey_to_Lithuania.webp?v=1773411778","url":"https:\/\/re-voir.com\/en\/products\/mekas-reminiscences-of-a-journey-to-lithuania","provider":"Re:Voir","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
