MEKAS, Jonas
Conversations with Film-Makers. Movie Journal columns 1961-1975

Every week, from 1958 until 1977, Jonas Mekas published his “Movie Journal” column in the Village Voice, conducting numerous interviews with filmmakers from all over the world. Conversations is the first time that these interviews with his filmmaker friends and associates have been put together in a book. Mekas recorded the conversations with his camera. From the films he shot with his interlocutors, Mekas selected one photo or still to introduce each interview. The collection of texts is supplemented by letters and extracts from related scenarios and scripts, and rounded out with an index of the people involved. [publisher’s note]
