Jonas Mekas, 1922–2019

Abstract:

I wrote about the life and times of Jonas Mekas many times over the course of his fabled career, and I opined more than once that if there were a world headquarters of avant-garde cinema, it would surely be Anthology Film Archives, which opened in 1970 under Mekas’s aegis. He had many other accomplishments to his credit—he was a filmmaker and videographer, a critic and editor, a poet and essayist, a museologist and librarian, an entrepreneur and gadfly, and sundry other things—but Anthology will probably be his most enduring legacy, unless the (unlikely) time ever arrives when avant-garde movies find regular homes outside galleries, film festivals, and specialized exhibition spaces. Still going strong after Mekas’s death in 2019 at the age of 96, Anthology is a monument to the artform(s) he spent decades practicing, promoting, and preserving, and its influence extends far beyond the modest corner of Manhattan’s Greenwich Village where it resides. Born in Lithuania in 1922, Mekas arrived in New York with his brother Adolfas in 1949 after a harrowing few years in camps for displaced persons, one of which showed films by which the brothers were variously entertained, enthralled, and enraged. By the middle of the 1950s Jonas was assembling and exhibiting programs of unconventional cinema and editing Film Culture, a pioneering magazine devoted to audacious movies of all sorts, whether they came from Hollywood studios, European auteurs, or the rarified domains inhabited by Maya Deren, Stan Brakhage, Shirley Clarke, Gregory J. Markopoulos, and other members of the New American Cinema, as Jonas and company called their movement. Before long a collective system evolved for the distribution and exhibition of “experimental” and “underground” films. Other innovations followed in the early 1960s— the Film-makers’ Cooperative, the Film-makers’ Cin emath eque—and in 1964 Mekas became an anti-censorship hero when he was arrested for showing Jack Smith’s riotously outrageous Flaming Creatures (1963) and responded a few days later by launching marathon screenings of Jean
