内容説明

Jonas Mekas, one of the driving forces behind New York's alternative film culture from the 1950s through the 1980s, made for an unlikely counterculture hero. A Lithuanian emigre and fervent nationalist from an agrarian family, he had not grown up with either capitalist commercialism or the postwar rebellion against it. By focusing on his sensitivity to political struggle, however, leading film commentators here offer insights into Mekas' career as a writer, film-distributor and film-maker, while exploring the history of independent cinema in New York City since World War II. This collection of essays, interviews and photographs addresses such topics as Mekas' column in the "Village Voice", his foundation and editorship of "Film Culture", his role in the establishment of Anthology Film Archives and The Film-Makers Co-op (the major distribution centre for independent film), his interaction with other artists, including John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and finally the critical assessment of his own films, from "Guns of the Trees" and "The Brig" to the diary films that followed "Walden".
