Exciting News!

A pioneering figure in American avant-garde cinema, Jonas Mekas co-founded FILM CULTURE Magazine with his brother in 1954 and became a film columnist for THE VILLAGE VOICE in 1958. In the early 1960’s he founded the Film-Makers’ Cooperative and the Film-Makers’ Cinematheque, which evolved into Anthology Film Archives, one of the world’s largest repositories of avant-garde film. Jonas Mekas published over thirty books of prose and poetry and taught at institutions such as the New School, Cooper Union, NYU, and MIT. His work has influenced generations of filmmakers and artists, such as Jim Jarmusch, John Waters, and Chantal Ackerman. His films and art installations have been exhibited at major institutions worldwide, including the Venice Biennale, Tate Museum, Serpentine Gallery, Whitney Museum, MoMA and Centre Pompidou.

Jonas Mekas captured moments that we all cherish in art history, in American history, in life…. from filmmakers, Salvador Dali, the Kennedys, Warhol, Yoko Ono and John Lennon, Elvis Presley, the World Trade Center…to the more personal special moments of nature, his family, being humans and celebrating life, cherishing life to its fullest
