DESCRIPTION:Jonas Mekas | 2000 | United States | 288’ | English\, no subtit
	les\n\nA deeply personal exploration of time passing through the lens of o
	ne of the\nmost acclaimed American avant-garde directors. Often considered
	 one of the most\ninfluential films in the whole of cinematic history.\n\n
	A Lithuanian-born filmmaker presents the raw and sincere footage from his 
	time\nin New York City\, paying close attention to all of the simple beaut
	ies and\npleasures that we encounter on our way through life. Brief smiles
	\, familiar\nfaces\, crowded rooms\, mundane activities\, small cats\, and
	 dried flowers. Things\nthat get lost in the everyday are brought to the s
	potlight here\, things that we\nsomewhat deprive of their solemnity.\n\nMe
	kas manages to encapsulate roughly 30 years of his life in 12 chapters of 
	this\nmasterpiece. Dynamic cuts contrasted with his calm and poetic narrat
	ion make\nthis film exceptionally engaging and vital. One might say that n
	othing really\nhappens in this film\, yet we see life unfolding before our
	 eyes. After all\,\nsometimes fleeting moments affect us more than somethi
	ng sustained.\n
