THE SIXTIES QUARTET
SCENES FROM THE LIFE Of ANDY WARHOL: FRIENDSHIPS AND INTERSECTIONS: Jonas Mekas is known for his rapid-fire diary films. His Scenes from the Life chronicles not only Andy Warhol, but also the social and cultural excitement that swirled around him, throbbing to a hypnotic Velvet Underground beat.
ZEFIRO TORNA OR SCENES FROM THE LIFE OF GEORGE MACIUNAS: "Bits of Fluxus events and performances, and picnics with friends (Almus, Andy Warhol, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, etc.), George's wedding and footage I took of him in Boston hospital three days before he died."
– Jonas Mekas
A short clip from the sing-a-long on John’s birthday with Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Allen Ginsberg, and other friends enjoying a good time, plus John and Yoko posing in high style, used in THE LOST WEEKEND: A LOVE STORY (currently in production).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JOHN: "On October 9th, 1972, half of the music world gathered in Syracuse, N.Y., to celebrate the opening of John Lennon/Yoko Ono Fluxus show, designed by George Maciunas. Same day, a smaller group gathered in a local hotel room to celebrate John's birthday."
– Jonas Mekas
Clip from Mekas’ REPORT FROM MILLBROOK (1965-1966) used in Errol Morris’ 2020 documentary MY PSYCHEDELIC LOVE STORY.
THIS SIDE OF PARADISE: "I had the fortune to spend some time, mostly during the summers, with Jackie Kennedy's and her sister Lee Radziwill's families and children. Cinema was an integral, inseparable, as a matter of fact, a key part of our friendship."
– Jonas Mekas
