Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Jonas Mekas US, 2003, 15', 16 mm

Jonas Mekas has always celebrated the everyday, the ‘mundane’, and Williamsburg, Brooklyn uses some of the early footage he shot after arriving as a displaced person in the U.S. a half-century ago. It has the look of a home movie, but Mekas’s commentary imbues its casualness with a visionary intensity. (Fred Camper)
