'I Had Nowhere to Go' Q&A | Jonas Mekas | NYFF54
Filmmaker, poet, and artist Jonas Mekas, the subject of 'I Had Nowhere to Go' joins NYFF Selection Committee Member Amy Taubin to talk about his experiences and this new film.
Autobiography and biography merge in this often shattering, sometimes absurdly funny collaboration between two polymath artists, Douglas Gordon and Jonas Mekas. Gordon’s unlikely desire to bring Mekas’s prose memoir of his first decade in exile from Lithuania and journey from post-WWII displaced persons camps to New York, where he finds his vocation as a filmmaker, yields an operatic experience of sound and image. The film—which features Mekas reading his own text in haunting, musical voice-over—attests to one extraordinary man’s experience of loss and desire to make a new life, yet also resonates as a tale of the diaspora in which tens of millions exist today.
