Scrapbook of the Sixties is a collection of published and unpublished texts by Jonas Mekas, filmmaker, writer, poet, and cofounder of the Anthology Film Archives in New York. Born in Lithuania, he came to Brooklyn via Germany in 1949 and began shooting his first films there. Mekas developed a form of film diary in which he recorded moments of his daily life. He became the barometer of the New York art scene and a pioneer of American avant-garde cinema. Every week, starting in 1958, he published his legendary \u201cMovie Journal\u201d column in The Village Voice, writing on a range of subjects that were by no means restricted to the world of film. He conducted numerous interviews with artists like Andy Warhol, Susan Sontag, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Erick Hawkins, and Nam June Paik. Some of these will now appear for the first time in his Scrapbook of the Sixties. Mekas\u2019s writings reveal him as a thoughtful diarist and an unparalleled chronicler of the times\u2014a practice that he has continued now for over fifty years.<\/p>\n

Jonas Mekas (*1922, Semeni\u0161kiai \/ Lithuania), lives and works in New York. Film-maker, writer, poet and co-founder of the Anthology Film Archives one of the world\u2019s largest and most important repositories of avant-garde film. Mekas\u2019s work has been exhibited in museums and festivals worldwide.<\/p>\n
