Diaries Notes and Sketches (Walden) at BFI Southbank
Overview
Jonas Mekas’ first long diary film, whose subtitle 'Diaries, Notes and Sketches' perfectly encapsulates his impulsive style of filming, records the events of his life from 1964-69. Mekas was at the centre of New York’s avant-garde during a crucial period when the independent film scene intersected with the worlds of art, poetry and music. 'Walden' vibrates with restless energy, and to watch it is to see history unfold.
