Film Notes SCENES FROM ALLEN'S LAST THREE DAYS ON EARTH AS A SPIRIT 1997, 67 min, video. "This is a video record of the Buddhist Wake ceremony at Allen Ginsberg's apartment. You see Allen, now asleep forever, in his bed; some of his close friends; and the wrapping up and removal of Allen's body from the apartment. You hear Jonas's description of his last conversation with Allen, three days earlier. You see the final farewell at the Buddhist temple, 118 West 22nd Street, New York City, and some of his close friends: Patti Smith, Gregory Corso, LeRoi Jones-Baraka, Hiro Yamagata, Anne Waldman, and many others." J.M. & ON MY WAY TO FUJIYAMA (1995, 25 min, 16mm) "A Bolex record of my journey through Japan in 1995, from all the way South to all the way North, with some of my good Japanese friends. After I finished it, I looked at it, and I didn't like it and decided to keep it on the shelf. This is the first screening of this film since its completion in 1995. I will have another look at it myself." J.M. 12/22 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 6:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue MY PARIS MOVIE See notes for Dec. 17, 7:30 pm. 12/22 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 9:15 pm, 32 2nd Avenue NOTES ON AN AMERICAN FILM DIRECTOR AT WORK: MARTIN SCORSESE by Jonas Mekas 2005, 80 minutes, video This screening is part of: JONAS MEKAS TURNS 90! "I originally met Martin Scorsese when he was still a film student at the New York University. He used to come to my film screenings. But our real friendship began when he made his first feature film, WHO'S THAT KNOCKING AT MY DOOR. I was asked to make a film about Marty to introduce a retrospective of his films. As it happened, Marty was shooting THE DEPARTED at that time. I asked him if I could follow him for a week or two, and he said yes. So that's how this film happened. It's a chamber kind of movie, a personal tribute to a friend."

Film Notes "1963 saw the controversial off-Broadway theater production THE BRIG by THE LIVING THEATRE. Filmed on stage with the original cast, rarely has there been a more intense cinematic adaptation of a play. Executed with brutish authenticity, THE BRIG won the Venice Festival Grand Prize for best documentary. A polemic drama with sonic shock waves, it is a nightmare that suggests 'Kafka with a Kodak.' The audience is placed in a violently claustrophobic environment, a Marine Corps stockade. Mekas puts aside his poetic sensibilities and ties us to a chair in the blistering sun with no water, no hope, and no mercy. This film is hard as nails." MELBOURNE UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL Followed by: Storm De Hirsch NEWSREEL: JONAS IN THE BRIG 1964, 5 min, 16mm. Preserved with support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Poet/Filmmaker Storm De Hirsch was on-hand to document Mekas as he threw himself into the filming of THE BRIG. This gorgeous print was recently preserved by Anthology. 12/23 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 6:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue AS I WAS MOVING AHEAD OCCASIONALLY... by Jonas Mekas 2000, 288 minutes, 16mm, color This screening is part of: JONAS MEKAS TURNS 90! Piano: Auguste Varkalis. "My film diaries 1970-1999. It covers my marriage, children are born, you see them growing up. Footage of daily life, fragments of happiness and beauty, trips to France, Italy, Spain, Austria. Seasons of the year as they pass through New York. Friends, home life, nature. Nothing extraordinary, nothing special, things that we all experience as we go through our lives. There are many inter-titles that reflect my thoughts of the period. The film is also my love poem to New York, its summers, its winters, streets, parks. It's the ultimate Dogma '95 movie, before the birth of Dogma." J.M.
