HTH was the surprise hit of that year's Cannes Film Festival, followed by the Silver Sail award at the Locarno Film Festival, an invitation to the first New York Film Festival, and a 15-week run at the Fifth Avenue Cinema in New York. As editor, with his brother Jonas, of \"Film Culture\" magazine, he proved to be an early encourager—getting people to think about and appreciate films. He was also, when you spent time with him day to day, a master, a twinkle-eyed magician who knew how to turn gray skies blue. He always knew how to throw a party when boredom or misery threatened. His own past gave him many opportunities to outwit misery: he spent part of his adolescence in a Nazi labor camp, then, after the war, in a succession of displaced persons camps. His diaries, now lovingly and carefully edited by his wife, singer and artistic producer Pola Chapelle, are, page after page, a testament to what is too often glibly called the triumph of the human spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eBook 3 of The Adolfas Diaries is the third in a series of 3 diary books written by Adolfas Mekas, and translated by him in 1973 from the original Lithuanian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eHallelujah Editions, 2018. 2nd ed.
