Description
This compilation of short films brings together diverse forms of expression created by Jonas Mekas between 1965 and 2003. It showcases all the genius of the filmmaker, by turns funny, subversive, whimsical, ironic, fundamentally free. We also recognize through this extensive range of his craft that brilliant and sharp, luminous gaze, which makes Jonas Mekas much more than just a filmmaker—a lover of life and of people whom he embraces with his camera, and whose eternity his editing sings.
