Jonas Mekas hovered around Our Lady of Vilnius like a vapor. He remained at 1 degree of separation from me: a mailing label on a sheet of past donors, a friend or acquaintance of many who came to the church, a benefactor giving us use of his Anthology Film Archives for a fundraiser and a name heard often in passing.
Soon I will have a chance to get a better fix on his nebulous presence. On March 13th Amazon Prime Videos will start streaming "Fragments of Paradise," KD Davidson's 2022 documentary about Mekas' relationship with his camera and with the world.
