At age 85,
Jonas Mekas is initiating a new project. Beginning January 1, 2007, he will begin
365 films, uploading a short video every day for a year. In November, Mekas was interviewed on
NPR (Amy Taubin appears too, praising the video iPod as an ideal delivery system for avant-garde cinema); now here is another interview in
Wired. According to Mekas, new digital technologies (like the iPod) are making the experience of cinema more intimate, like reading: it's just you and the image.
