Abstract:
16mm 1.37:1 color sound except end of Reel 5 and beginning of Reel 6, 13:05 minutes; music by Frédéric Chopin, Group Image; with Gideon Backman, Adolfas Makas, Jonas Mekas, Hela Hammid, Willard Van Dyke, Shirley Clarke, Wendy Clarke, Marilyn Gottlieb-Roberts, Ed Emswhiller; courtesy of the filmmaker, Re:Voir. The viewer shares in Mekas' daily intimacies with family, friends and lovers as they envelope the screen in pulses of audio-visual stimuli. His world becomes yours, and the immersive nature of the cinema experience is broadened to include an onslaught of perceptual associations derived from the rapid-fire barrage of sound and images. Mekas expounds upon New York City much in the same way that Marcel Proust would focus on a Madeleine cookie as a portal for extended recollections on the passage of time and memory.
