Jonas Mekas: The Brig 1964 68 mins (excerpt 2.18)

"Jonas Mekas's films celebrate life. They rise up against the world's overwhelming commercialism, attempting instead to revive the pleasures of friendship, a first snowfall or the return of Spring. Mekas's genius stems from his generously including the viewer in his vision of the world, allowing us to (re)discover, in a simple image, the incredible force and necessity of poetry." Yann Beauvais. Mekas films the Living Theatre’s production of The Brig - a 68 minute relentless insight into a US Marine Corp prison camp in Japan in the early 1950s.
