Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mekas was a central figure in the New American Cinema movement; this film features cameos from Stan Brakhage, Hollis Frampton, and Allen Ginsberg.
The title deliberately echoes Joyce's 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' — Mekas reframes autobiography as accumulation of fleeting moments rather than linear narrative.
