*Mon Apr 21, 7-9:45pm: Cine Salon (Lost Films Found**): **Jonas Mekas: A
Happy Man* (Mayer Room, Howe Library) At 91, Mekas’ latest film is a
perfect summation of a lifetime spent championing the little events of
everyday life. “Jonas Mekas calls his blissed-out new movie *Out-Takes From
the Life of a Happy Man*. It’s an honest, direct title for a transcendently
lovely and delicate work created from images that didn’t make it into the
filmed diaries he made from 1960 to 2000.” (Manohla Dargis, *New York Times*
)

*Mon Apr 21, 7-8pm: Music Video Monday* (Digital Lab, Black Family Visual
