HAIKUS FOR MEKAS, AN ODE TO FILM PRESERVATION highlights the relevance of moving images via Jonas Mekas' words.
In HAIKUS FOR MEKAS, AN ODE TO FILM PRESERVATION Jonas Mekas (1922-2019), poet and filmmaker of Lithuanian origin, remembers the past and ponders on the value of rescuing, preserving and screening films. Footage from the 1920s of water (as a symbol of renewal and rebirth) and people sailing (as a symbol of our life’s journey) is intertwined with Mekas' words. In this way, yesterday and today are brought together via moving images, highlighting the value of film as art and as a medium to learn about ourselves and others.
