Jonas Mekas’ first completed diary film is a portrait of life in New York circa the avant-garde scene of the 60s, encompassing an entire, intimate world of friends, family, and self in its 6 reels.

Lithuanian filmmaker-critic Jonas Mekas is one of the godfathers of American avant-garde cinema, and a great pioneer of first-person moviemaking. His art was inextricable from his life, and in fact woven from it, as showcased by this tremendous classic of diary filmmaking.
