Synopsis

One of Jonas Mekas' most celebrated works is itself a celebration of joy, friendship, family, travel and nature. Its long title, As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty, is a perfect summary of Mekas' life and career. This film provides, in effect, a collection of intimate, happy fragments over thirty years of his continuous search for moments of beauty, however insignificant they may seem.
