The Sixties Quartet

Sixties QuartetSCENES FROM THE LIFE OF ANDY WARHOL: FRIENDSHIPS AND INTERSECTIONS, 1990, 35’
Jonas Mekas is know for his rapid-fire diary films. His Scenes from the Life chronicles not only Andy Warhol, but also the social and cultural excitement that swirled around him, throbbing to a hypnotic Velvet Underground beat.

ZEFIRO TORNA OR SCENES FROM THE LIFE OF GEORGE MACIUNAS, 1992, 35’
“Bits of Fluxus events and performances, and picnics with friends (Almus, Andy Warhol, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, etc.), George’s wedding and footage I took of him in Boston hospital three days before he died.” -- Jonas Mekas

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JOHN, 1995, 24' with John Lennon and Yoko Ono
“On october 9th, 1972, half of the music world gathered in Syracuse, N.Y., to celebrate the opening of John Lennon/Yoko Ono Fluxus show, designed by George Maciunas. Same day, a smaller group gathered in a local hotel room to celebrate John’s birthday.” -- Jonas Mekas

THIS SIDE OF PARADISE, 1999, 35' with Jackie, Caroline and John Kennedy Jr.
"I had the fortune to spend some time, mostly during the summers, with Jackie Kennedy’s and her sister Lee Radziwill’s families and children. Cinema was an integral, inseparable, as a matter of fact, a key part of our friendship." -- Jonas Mekas

Guns of the Trees

Sixties QuartetGuns of the Trees deals with the thoughts, feelings, and anguished strivings of my generation, faced with the moral perplexity of our times. Conceived as an episodic, horizontal film, there is no apparent direct story connection between one scene and the next. The scenes act like pieces of a larger, timed, emotional mosaic. Where the direct word, or the direct image, fails - when we come to more essential things - the indirectness of the poet will seize the essence and the truth. -- Jonas Mekas

It is a bitter but lyric work. It is also revolutionary in form, being unlike, in its technique, anything you ever saw. It is a poster declaration, a manifesto. I regard Guns of The Trees as the most important film by far of the American "New Wave." -- Herman G. Weinberg, New York Film-Makers' Cooperative Catalogue n°6, 1975

It may be one of the most personal and revealing films of the intellectual, beat and hip fringe of society of America today. -- Gene Moskowitz, Cahiers du cinéma, N°119, May 1961
