Jonas Mekas - Walden - 1969

I can't find a picture of the film, but i think it's one on my favourites so far. It's really beautifully put together, like fragments of a life. After reading a bit about Mekas, it seems he made lots of films, but did do a few like this, in diary form. And he released a five hour long diary film called As I Was Moving Ahead, Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses Of Beauty, which was assembled by hand from his archive of fifty years worth of recordings of his life.
