An admired poet in his native Lithuania, Mekas began recording his life on film shortly after his arrival in New York. Through his work as the author of the Village Voice's "Movie Journal" column, editor of Film Culture magazine, and founder of Anthology Film Archives and the Film-Makers' Cooperative, Mekas played a vital role in the promotion of avant-garde and independent films. His early films, Guns of the Trees and The Brig, challenged the structure of traditional narrative filmmaking. He is best known for his "diary films," including Walden (Diaries, Notes, and Sketches); Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania; and As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty. His films, writings, and the institutions he built have influenced generations of filmmakers, poets, artists, musicians, critics, and scholars. In Jonas Mekas: Interviews, volume editor Gregory R. Smulewicz-Zucker collects eighteen interviews covering almost sixty years of the filmmaker's career. Mekas discusses his remarkable life as a refugee from Nazi- and Soviet-occupied Lithuania, his role as one of the major figures in the development of the American avant-garde, and his thoughts about his own work. In conversation with scholars, journalists, and other prominent artists, Mekas speaks of his passion for artistic expression and uncompromising vision for a liberated cinema. These interviews preserve Mekas's voice so that it might speak to future generations of artists and intellectuals"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Collected interviews with the director of avant-garde films such as Walden (Diaries, Notes, and Sketches); Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania; and As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Mekas, Jonas, $d 1922-2019 $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Independent filmmakers $z United States $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Motion picture producers and directors $z United States $v Interviews. 600 17 $a Mekas, Jonas, $d 1922-2019. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00273715 650 7 $a Independent filmmakers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968926 650 7 $a Motion picture producers and directors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027225 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423832 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Smulewicz-Zucker, Gregory R., $d 1983- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Jonas Mekas $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, [2020] $z 9781496829238 $w (DLC) 2020017714 830 0 $a Conversations with filmmakers series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022955.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=094039E6177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
