A Letter from Greenpoint
Jonas Mekas Retrospective
February 17 - 23, 2022
In what he considered his “first real video work,” Mekas captures a pivotal moment in his life: the first time he’d had to move in over 30 years, relocating from downtown Manhattan to Brooklyn, looking ahead to and meditating upon the future all the while.
In what he considered his “first real video work” (after decades of reliance on his trusty 16mm Bolex), Mekas captures a pivotal moment in his life: the first time he’d had to move in over 30 years. Giving up the SoHo loft where he raised his children, Mekas packs up and relocates to a new home in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, not far from Williamsburg, where he and his brother Adolfas had first settled over 50 years earlier upon arriving in America. A Letter from Greenpoint is a typically moving meditation that furthers key threads from Mekas’s prior work—the specific, subjective feeling of people, places, and moments; the ever-changing landscape of NYC—while also looking ahead to the future: the inevitability of change, the search for and establishment of a new home, aging, and the uprooting and replanting of oneself in a new situation marked by new faces, scenery, worries, and joys.
