Diaries, Notes and Sketches pt 3: Poetic cinema and polyphonic practices
For the centennial of poet and filmmaker Jonas Mekas, Index teamed up with arts and culture magazine Ord&Bild to host a three-part screening series showing Mekas' experimental diary film Walden from 1968. The program used Walden as a point of departure to look at Mekas' important role as enabler, organizer, connector of people, and devout advocate for the arts.
This podcast presents the third and final session - held on January 27th, 2023 - an evening focused on Mekas' dual role as poet and filmmaker.
Agnė Jokšė, Anastasia Sosunova, Andria Nyberg Forshage, and Eglė Budvytytė, all of them artists with distinctly transdisciplinary practices, convened in a conversation moderated by Isabella Tjäder, Curator of Learning at Index, to
talk about this way of working; about allowing methods and particularities from one medium to bleed into another – linguistics into film, movement into sculpture and sound into image.
The series Diaries Notes and Sketches was part of the centennial program Jonas Mekas 100! and was produced in collaboration with the Lithuanian cultural attaché in Sweden, Finland and Denmark. Supported by the Lithuanian Culture Institute.
