Sleepless Nights Stories at BFI Southbank
Overview
Jonas Mekas invites viewers on a tour through his nightlife, bringing together twenty-five stories of life, love and friendship. The artist's opening confession that he suffers from insomnia will come as no surprise to anyone aware of his singular contribution to cinema. Over 50 years he has established and promoted a viable culture for truly independent and avant-garde filmmaking, and his recent acceptance by the art world has brought a long overdue wave of attention and success. Sleepless Nights Stories is the latest in the series of long-form diary films that Mekas has been making since his arrival in the USA in 1949.
