Introduced by Jonas Mekas
16mm print preserved by Anthology Film Archives
Dir. Jonas Mekas. 1976, 180 mins. Filmmaker, poet,
critic, exhibitor, distributor, and champion of avant-garde filmmaking, Jonas
Mekas is also the creator of beautiful diary films marked by a fleeting,
impressionistic style suffused at once with nostalgia and presence
in-the-moment. This epic diary chronicles his arrival in New York City and his early years with the
underground scene.
Preserved by Anthology Film Archives as part of the
Avant-Garde Masters Grant program administered by the National Film
Preservation Foundation and funded by The Film Foundation.
The event is free with museum admission.
