Event "RPFF opening. Jonas Mekas "A Walk"" organizer: SIA Kinoteātris BIZE
The sixth edition of Rīgas Pasaules filmu festivāls will take place at the art-house cinema Kino Bize in April 25-28. Each year the festival explores the intersections between cinema and ethnography, and this year its programme is devoted to films with a strong author's presence, first person narratives, and cinematographic introspection.
The opening film of the festival, screened on April 25 at 20.00, will be "A Walk" directed by experimental film classic Jonas Mekas (1990, 58').
A WALK
Dir.: Jonas Mekas
1990 | 58 min
USA
Filmed on Dec. 15, 1990. On a rainy day, I have a walk through the early Soho. I begin my walk on 80 Wooster Street and continue towards the Williamsburg bridge, where, 58 minutes later, still raining, my walk ends. As I walk, occasionally I talk about what I see or I tell some totally unrelated little stories that come to my mind as I walk.
