Tonight is the last night of our Jonas Mekas Tribute - Part 5!⁠ Almost a month after his 96th birthday, Anthology’s founder Jonas Mekas passed away January 23, 2019. Jonas’s energy, joy, and perceptiveness, as well as his mischievous spirit & boundless openness to new forms of expression, were unflagging until his very final days. He remained a fixture of experimental and independent culture – in NYC and internationally – and a major driving force here at Anthology, until the end. In a very real sense, every program we present – and every film we save, preserve, and restore – has been and will continue to be a tribute to Jonas, to his tireless promotion of avant-garde film and his creation of multiple institutions and initiatives to support the infrastructure of non-commercial cinema.⁠ Jonas was, of course, not only a writer, poet, artist, and co-founder of Anthology, the Film-Makers’ Cooperative, and Film Culture Magazine, but also a filmmaker of great renown. Immediately following his death, we embarked on a multi-part, comprehensive retrospective of his films and videos, both widely celebrated classics and far more obscure works. That retrospective was all set to conclude with a fifth and final chapter in the spring of 2020, which had to be postponed due to the pandemic.⁠ Tonight you can catch 2 programs of work, at 6:45 and 8:30⁠ Details at the link in bio!⁠ #JonasMekas⁠ @oonamekas
