Jonas (1968)
A verité portrait of Jonas Mekas making his daily rounds, JONAS shows us the underground impresario attending a peace rally, filming in Central Park, typing up notes at the Village Voice and projecting his latest rushes at the Film-Makers' Cooperative.

In detailing these routines, director Gideon Bachmann comes away with a striking time capsule of a city bent on art.
