No, I’m not kidding. Jonas Mekas is hitting small screens of all kinds this fall.
He has two projects in the works. Firstly, he is curating a series of short films. The first of which, Hans Richter’s Rhythmus 21, hit jonasmekas.com on September 15. Judging by this first entry, each film will feature a video introduction by Mekas.
The second project has the venerable filmmaker making a film every day for 365 days. This project is scheduled to hit the web starting on November 9th. Head to Jonas Mekas’ website for more information and a video introduction that bodes very well for things to come.
This is another reason to look forward to the Fall.

Though it didn’t hit in November as previously announced, Jonas rang in the new year with the kick-off of his 365 Films project. He will create a new film for each day of the year and post it to his website. Each film is free on the day it is posted, but if you miss any, they will cost you $1.99. Catch day 4 while you can. […]
