A Thousand and One Nights in Mekas’ real life. Twenty-five encounters and their stories gleaned between nightfall and sunrise from across the planet.

Jonas Mekas

Jonas Mekas has always filmed his everyday environment: we associate his works with New York, his beloved adopted city, with the apartments he lived in or those of his friends. But he spent much of his time in his 4-km long garden, just near his residence: Central Park.
