Swithin Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 You can't have grown up in New York City and been close to the experimental film/video world without knowing and respecting its godfather, Jonas Mekas, who died yesterday, at the age of 96. In the late 1970s/early 1980s, I spent many happy (and sometimes bewildered) hours at the Anthology Film Archives, which he co-founded. He was an icon in the field which he helped shape. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jan/23/jonas-mekas-titan-of-underground-filmmaking-dies-aged-96 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Mekas 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
