Quartett -- Four Biographies 12 October 02
Section: article
Categories: Film / in-a-cinema
Four films by the filmmaker Jonas Mekas:
- Zefiro Torna or Scenes from the Life of Georges Maciunas
- Andy Warhol
- Jaqueline Kennedy
- Happy Birthday to John
Jonas Mekas was present at the showing.
Jonas referred to the four films as “Quartett,” but I am not sure if that is the correct title as listed in his filmography.
For me, the films were beautiful.
It was remarkable and nostalgic to see footage Jonas made at John and Yoko’s exhibition back in 1971 at the Everson Museum in Syracuse which I visited while I was in high school in nearby Cazenovia.
Jonas was associated with the Fluxus art movement, of which Georges Maciunas was considered to be the initiator.
