WN: You talked about the 9 million Super 8 cameras in the 1960s. Today, even more people than that are using digital video. Do you think all these filmmakers will change cinema?
Mekas: I mentioned that number, the 9 million, when talking to (director Pier Paolo) Pasolini in Paris in 1968, during the student revolution. "Maybe something interesting will happen with their cameras," I said. "These cameras can change the nature of communications." And he said, "There are more typewriters than cameras. Did that change the world? Did that make this revolution?"
WN: But the digital cameras must be having an influence.
Mekas: Yes, yes definitely. New technologies make more money than old ones.
Lithuanian Jonas Mekas needs no introduction to America's arts scene. In fact he's one of its great-fathers.
His latest project is to create and show 365 films in 365 days - every day until the end of 2007. The poetic shorts will be cut out from Mekas' massive collection of diary footage, documenting explosive 60's NYC scene.
Wired News published interview with Mekas: Short Films From a Long Life.
Pagaliau radau, kur Londone gaut ispaniškų produktų. Juanma rekomendavo Garcia Foods pardą - Portobello turgaus gatvėj netoli Ladbroke Grove (250 Portobello Road). Šalia jie turi ir kavinę/tapas bar. Seniausi ispaniško maisto importuotojai - liuks, nors ir nepapigiai, bet daug visko, dešimtys sūrių ir kumpių - nuo klasikinių Serrano iki prabangių rankom skobiamo Reserva. Dar vynų ir atseit viena geriausių kavų Londone, Barselonos Saula. Jų websaitas www.garciafoods.co.uk man dabar neveikia.
