Born in Lithuania December 24th, 1922.

Left Lithuania at the age of 22.

Used to film with an old Bolex camera.

Visited Germany after WWII, and settled in New York in the 1950s.

In 1958, he became the first movie critic for The Village Voice.

 

 

"In Lithuania, I am known as a poet, and they don't care about my cinema.

In Europe they don't know my poetry; in Europe, I am a filmmaker.

But here, in the United States, I am only a maverick!"

 

 

 

Diaries, Notes and Sketches (Walden),
1969, 180�

Since 1950 I have been keeping a film diary. I have been walking around with my Bolex and reacting to the immediate reality: situations, friends, New York, seasons of the year. On some days I shoot ten frames, on others ten seconds, still on others ten minutes. Or I shoot nothing.... Walden contains material from the years 1964-1968 strung together in chronological order. �Jonas Mekas

 

 

Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania, 1972, 82�

�Reminiscences�� falls into the form of a notebook, or a diary, a form into which most of my later work seems to fall. I didn�t have any long stretches of time to prepare a script, then to take months to shoot, then to edit, etc. I had only bits of time which allowed me to shoot only bits of film. And in a sense it helped me to gain some peace of mind. I said to myself: �Fine, very fine �if I don�t have time to devote six or seven months to making a film, I won�t break my heart about it; I�ll film short notes, from day to day, every day.� �Jonas Mekas
