Dir. Jonas Mekas. 1976, 180 mins.

Filmmaker, poet, critic, exhibitor, distributor, and champion of avant-garde filmmaking, Jonas Mekas is also the creator of beautiful diary films marked by a fleeting, impressionistic style suffused at once with nostalgia and presence in-the-moment. This epic diary chronicles his arrival in New York City and his early years with the underground scene.

Preserved by Anthology Film Archives as part of the Avant-Garde Masters Grant program administered by the National Film Preservation Foundation and funded by The Film Foundation.

Free with museum admission.
