A two-part screening across two evenings — a space to watch and reflect together
As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty by Jonas Mekas
Join us for a rare viewing of this 4 hour 48 minute experimental film by Lithuanian filmmaker and poet Jonas Mekas, a central figure in diaristic filmmaking. In this composition of home-movie fragments, passing moments, and seasons of life assembled over 30 years there is no single narrative to follow. Instead, the film moves like memory itself: intimate, drifting, attentive to the beauty of ordinary life.
Registration required. Limited seating available.
Guests are welcome to attend one or both screenings.
Light concessions will be available for purchase at the event.
Following each screening, there will be an optional, casual discussion facilitated by Spring 2026 Artist-in-Residence Alyson Wong. Feel free to join or head out whenever.
