This is the second session in the series, recorded on January 20th, 2023. It doubled as a release for a Jonas Mekas themed issue from Ord&Bild and focused on Mekas’ journalistic legacy.
In 1954, Jonas Mekas and his brother founded Film Culture, which grew into one of the most seminal magazines for avant-garde cinema. A few years later he became the first film critic for the Village Voice, where he continued publishing his weekly column Movie Journal for over a decade.
The session brought together Jonatan Habib Engqvist, co-editor at Ord&Bild, with Amin Zouiten and Aron Skoog, founders of magazine and publisher Filmögon, in a discussion moderated by Isabella Tjäder, Curator of Learning at Index.
The series Diaries Notes and Sketches was part of the centennial program Jonas Mekas 100! and was produced in collaboration with the Lithuanian cultural attaché in Sweden, Finland and Denmark. Supported by the Lithuanian Culture Institute.
