As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty 2000
"It's the ultimate Dogme movie, before the birth of Dogme", is how 79-year-old Lithuanian-born independent mainstay Jonas Mekas describes peaceful, enthralling assemblage encompassing home movie footage from last three decades of his life.
Divided into chapters of varying lengths and intercut with title cards announcing "life goes on", "this is a political film" and the like, Mekas invites the viewer to share his love of his wife and children through the years as well as New York City in its various meteorological moods. Glimpses of avant-garde colleagues P. Adams Sitney, Hollis Frampton and others are mixed with views from his travels to Vermont, Italy, New Hampshire and Cape Cod. Tech credits are consistent with Mekas' lifelong aesthetic of immediate, intimate filmmaking, composed and edited to convey the energy and love they give him.
