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)
