Jonas Mekas Film: As I Was Moving Ahead, Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty

Posted by Editor

Jonas Mekas is one of our great independent filmmakers. He spent years writing a film column in the Village Voice. He founded the Anthology Film Archives in New York City. He makes lots of films with small cameras that he can carry almost anywhere he goes. That is, by the way, how filmmakers should be working today. If a filmmaker needs a truck, he or she is making a commercial. I found this via the exceptionally brilliant underground film site, Bad Lit.

Wow, thanks for the link and the extraordinarily nice compliment. Glad word of Jonas is spreading far and wide. He’s been such a huge influence on me and lots of underground filmmakers and critics.

I haven’t seen your site before, but it’s really nice.
