Jonas Mekas. Walden.(Diaries, Notes & Sketches 1969). USA 1968-1969. Re:Voir Video & Paris Experimental 2009/ Microcinema?s digital transfer. Box Set edition (202:130:78mm). Enthält 2 DVD: "Walden 1,2,3" + "Walden 4,5,6"(180mn) + 1 Buch: "The Walden Book" (150S. Text Engl./French). + 1 Plakat. "Founder of the Anthology Film Archive, Jonas Mekas, a Lithuanian, arriving in New York, end of 1949, in flight from wartorn Europe, launched into a career of starting film magazines, film screenings and writing about the experimental and avant-garde cinema. "Walden", Mekas' personal film diaries recorded many of the "underground" events from the 1950s to the 80s as well as his own life." "Since 1950 I have been keeping a film diary. I have been walking around with my Bolex and reacting to the immediate reality: situations, friends, seasons of the year. On some days I shot ten frames, on others ten seconds, still on others ten minutes. Or I shot nothing. .To keep a film (camera) diary, is to react (with your camera) immediately, now, this instant: either you get it now, or you don't get it at all. To get it now, as it happens, demands the total mastery of one's tools (in this case, Bolex): it has to register the reality to which I react and also it has to register my state of feeling (and all the memories) as I react.Which also means, that I had to do all the structuring (editing) right there, during the shooting, in the camera. All footage that you'll see in the Diaries is exactly as it came out from the camera: there was no way of achieving it in the editing room without destroying its form and content. Walden contains materials from the years 1965-69, strung together in chronological order. For the soundtrack I used some of the sounds that I collected during the same period: voices, subways, much street noise, bits of Chopin (I am a romantic), and other significant and insignificant sounds." (Zitiert nach Jonas Mekas)." Enthält u.a. New York, Visit to Stan Brakhage, Dreyer, Notes on the Circus, Ginsberg, Ed Sanders, Warhol, Velvet Underground, Dreams of Cocteau, Hans Richter, Yoko Ono und John Lennon. " "By following each cut in the film, the book is a systematic exploration of the shots, sequences, situations and characters. It includes two texts, one from David E. James and a second by Jean-Jacques Lebel, as well as a bibliography and index." Unopened copy., in Or.- wrap. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 300004
