Subject: Lithuania and the Collapse of the USSR , new work by Jonas Mekas opening screening Tonight
To: email suppressed
Hi,
It just occurred to me that many of you may be interested in knowing about the latest video work by Jonas Mekas opening tonight in NYC at Anthology Film Archives. The party reception starts at 5PM, screening is at 6:30PM for those of you in town. Lithuania and the Collapse of the USSR will continue to screen at Anthology through 2/15.
Here's Jonas' description:
"The video is made up of footage that I took with my Sony camera from the television newscastsduring the collapse of the USSR, with the
home noises in the background.
It's a capsule record of what happened andhow it happened during that crucial periodas recorded by the television newscasters.
It can be also viewed as a classic Greek dramain which the destinies of nations are changeddrastically by the unbending, boarding on irrational will of one single man, one small nation
determined to regain its freedom, backed byOlympus in its fight against the Might & Poweragainst the Impossible."
I worked on this piece with him and have seen it many, many, many times from start to finish (it is 4 hours 49 minutes long) and keep discovering new things in the material.
Lithuania and the Collapse of the USSR
screening 2.6 - 2.15, http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/schedule/
