Jonas Mekas

Requiem

Inspired by Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem, Jonas Mekas’ Requiem is a work that explores the theme of death and memory through a poetic and intimate lens. Made in 2019 (shortly before his passing) the film combines powerful visual images and an editing that reflects grief and loss. Mekas uses his experimental approach to filmmaking to create a personal and universal reflection on the end of life, celebrating the memory of those who have passed on. A cinematic tribute that fits into the broader context of his artistic research into the transience of time and existence.
