- We visit pioneer of avant-garde cinema, Jonas Mekas, best known for his ‘film diaries’ and ongoing snapshots of his life, filmed throughout his career.
On moving to New York City in the late 1940s, Mekas founded Film Culture magazine with his brother Adolfas which published criticism and analysis of all aspects of experimental and mainstream Hollywood film. He also co-founded the Film-Makers’ Cooperative which eventually grew into the Anthology Film Archives - the world’s largest and most important repositories of avant-garde film.
Diaries, Notes & Sketches a.k.a. Walden in the Tate collection is compiled from material shot on 16mm film between 1964 and 1968 and stands as one of the most epic portraits of the 60s New York art scene. Over the course three hours, Mekas invites the viewer into a circle of friends and colleagues including John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick, as well as contemporary experimental filmmakers Tony and Beverly Conrad, Michael Snow and Jack Smith. Featuring quick-paced in-camera edits and a collage of recorded sounds, Mekas’s seminal film unfolds as a cinematic poem that effortlessly condenses years into hours.

A Natural. All these years, Mr. Mekas, watching your work, having the company of your nature.
He really was one of the most loving artists of the time.
Well that was pure, undiluted magic. For this I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
This is so inspiring. Thanks Tate!
I have just received notice of his passing. My first question was, "Who was this man frm Lithuania". This is one of the films I am watching to find out--and finding he was one of the most noteable film makers ever. Thanks for posting. God rest his soul.
I'm so happy, that as well as showing the films he took, you are showing films made of him.
He is amazing!

Is that Lou Reed with Edie at 4:20 ?
He hung with velvet underground and warhol
@@seBcopTer I guess there's a difference between Lou Reed being a member of the Velvet Underground and him hanging out with them.

I believe its him singing.
