2021Companeras and Companeros
Adolfas Mekas, Barbara Stone
A feature documentary about Cuba’s youth: the student, the worker, the peasant, the teacher, the soldier. These young compañeras and compañeros illustrate what the Cuban Revolution is really all about as they discuss their thoughts on the revolution, theories on guerrilla warfare, commitment to building Che’s “New Man”, and camaraderie with those fighting for change across the globe.

Notes for Jerome
Jonas Mekas
Jerome Hill, Jonas Mekas
During the summer of 1966 Jonas Mekas spent two months in Cassis, as a guest of Jerome Hill. Mekas visited him briefly again in 1967, with P. Adams Sitney. The footage of this film comes from those two visits. Later, after Jerome died, Mekas visited his Cassis home in 1974. Footage of that visit constitutes the epilogue of the film. Other people appear in the film, all friends of Jerome.
