Poet Jonas Mekas, born in Lithuania in 1922, invented the diary form of film-making. 'Walden', his first completed diary film, is an epic portrait of the New York avant-garde art scene of the 60s, is also a groundbreaking work of personal cinema.
The film features figures of the scene such as Jonas Mekas, P. Adams Sitney, Tony Conrad, Stan Brakhage, Carl Th. Dreyer, Timothy Leary, Baba Ram Dass, Gregory Markopoulos, Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol, Jerome Hill, Barbet Schroeder, Jack Smith, Edie Sedgwick, Nico, Velvet Underground, Ken Jacobs, Hans Richter, Standish D. Lawder, Adolfas Mekas, Shirley Clarke, Jud Yalkut, Peter Kubelka, Michael Snow and Richard Foreman.
"Since 1950 I have been keeping a film diary. I have been walking around with my Bolex and reacting to the immediate reality: situations, friends, New York, seasons of the year. On some days I shoot ten frames, on others ten seconds, still on others ten minutes. Or I shoot nothing.... Walden contains material from the years 1964-1968 strung together in chronological order." - Jonas Mekas

@@aclark903 what are you attempting to say?
It's a patchwork of images, not a diary, i.e. I'm filming what I'm seeing, and you guess what I wanted to say...
Does anyone know the background music that starts at 3:56 and ends at 5:37?

The young Blonde Girl who first appears at 3:13, is that Bibbe Hansen ?. I'm certain it is but can't find anywhere that confirms it.

Good spot, it is her. Here's a pretty rigorous breakdown, by the minute, of the first section's captions and content/appearances - smironne.free.fr/NICO/FILMS/waltdm.html
