Synopse

The wiry living legend of avant garde film, Jonas Mekas, is at 90 still very much alive and kicking - and dancing and singing. The film observes Jonas from many perspectives: his everyday life, at work, in his Brooklyn kitchen, right through to festivities at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. And accompanies him as he goes on the attack per website, Facebook, handycam and Occupy in connection with his past as a refugee from Lithuania, in the labour camp in Hamburg and a camp for Displaced Persons in Mainz. Mekas is proactive, lectures, presents, insists on freedom for film, art, literature, people and nations - and for their decentralisation. Screening on 03.10. in attendance of: Peter Sempel (Director)
