Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania

"Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania" is a 1972 documentary film that chronicles Jonas Mekas' return to Semeniškiai, his birthplace in Lithuania, after a 27-year absence. Blending personal memory with observational footage, the film becomes both a portrait of homecoming and a meditation on displacement, family, and time. Through highly personal narration by Mekas himself, as well as voiceovers from other members of the Mekas brothers' family, including Adolfas Mekas and Pola Chapelle, the film offers a poignant exploration of identity and belonging.
