Fragments of Paradise

This documentary is an intimate and poignant look at the life and work of Jonas Mekas, a visionary filmmaker known as the "godfather" of avant-garde cinema, spanning over 70 years. Through thousands of hours of his own video and film diaries, including never-before-seen tapes and unpublished audio recordings, Mekas' story is revealed - one of finding beauty amidst profound loss and creating a sense of meaning in the face of trauma and exile.
